Singapore has always been one the best places to make money. But hopeless place to to consider a home, build a house, have a garden, lead a great lifestyle and provide opportunities for future generation.
Every Kiwi that I met will start building a beautiful house in NZ in a picturesque place while working in Singapore.
The same goes for most foreigners from the first world. Even the India Indians start building a palace for their retirement back. The Thais and Indonesians do the same. Only the Pinoys remain here because it's a failed state back home. Even the Malaysians after 1985 stopped converting to a Singapore citizenship. They also build a house back in Malaysia. Only a Singaporean idiot will buy a second condo instead of financing his move overseas.
If this govt turns Singapore in a brothel, no foreigner is going to complain especially those who are milking the system. It's no skin off their back.
Why you think I encourage people to migrate.
Just had coffee with a young couple from my fishing group who left to seek work in Singapore. He's an accountant and his wife is a lawyer. Their research revealed that they'll earn a lot more there.
On the other side of the coin there are many Singaporeans who arrived in NZ full of expectations only to slink back home a year later utterly disillusioned.
NZ isn't a great as it is made out to be. Singapore isn't as bad as it is portrayed in this forum.
NZ's greatest asset is its natural wonders and scenery but these don't put food on the table. If you want career advancement and a fat wallet, stick to Singapore.
