What do people like (and dislike) about Singapore?

Answer this Question

When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Singapore, they replied...

"Expats and digital nomads generally like living in Singapore due to its excellent infrastructure, efficient public transportation system, and high-speed internet connectivity. They also appreciate the city's cleanliness, safety, and low crime rate. Singapore's diverse and multicultural environment makes it easy for expats to adapt and make friends, while the wide variety of delicious and affordable food options is another attractive feature. The city's strategic location in Southeast Asia makes it an ideal base for traveling to nearby countries, and the Changi Airport is known for its efficiency and numerous international connections. Additionally, Singapore offers high-quality healthcare facilities and a strong education system, making it suitable for families. However, there are some aspects of living in Singapore that expats and digital nomads may dislike. The high cost of living, particularly in terms of housing and car ownership, can be a significant challenge for many. The city's tropical climate, with its heat and humidity, may also be uncomfortable for those not used to such conditions. Singapore's strict rules and regulations, such as fines for littering and restrictions on certain activities, can be seen as a downside for some expats who may feel that these rules limit their personal freedom. Lastly, the competitive work culture and long working hours may be a source of stress for some individuals," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Singapore, Singapore.
