"Expats planning to retire in Woodlands should be aware that the cost of living can be high, especially when it comes to housing and car ownership. They should also know that Singapore has a high standard of healthcare, but it can be expensive, so it's important to have comprehensive health insurance. Singapore has a tropical climate, with high humidity and temperatures throughout the year, which may take some time to adjust to. The official language is English, but Mandarin, Malay, and Tamil are also widely spoken. Singapore has strict laws and regulations, including severe penalties for drug offenses and littering, so it's important to familiarize yourself with these before moving. Public transportation in Singapore is efficient and reliable, making it easy to get around without a car. The city-state is also known for its safety and cleanliness. Singapore's food scene is diverse and vibrant, offering a wide range of cuisines from around the world. Expats should also be aware that Singapore has a high cost of living, particularly in terms of housing and car ownership. Lastly, it's important to note that Singapore has a mandatory retirement age of 62, but many people continue to work beyond this age, either full-time or part-time," commented one expat who made the move to Woodlands, Singapore.
