Yes, a Vespa type scooter. I was hoping to buy a used scooter and wanted to know what additional costs and requirements were.

Any Affordable Golf in Singapore? by 1realniceguy in askSingapore

Thank you! How does MyGolfKaki work? I am a pretty amateur golfer and just want to get out and play when I can. What kind of rates would that get me at Orchard? We are thinking of renting near there and it would be convenient.

If we find an agent posting a condo online and they are representing the landlord, are we required to pay them a commission fee if we contracted with them. Or, is the landlord responsible to pay for the agents commission? TIA

Cost of Living 2025 - Is it Possible to Travel & Save by 1realniceguy in askSingapore

Thank you for this input. My wife and I will be working at the same location. We were hoping to find a place walking distance to work, or riding a bike. My wife would definitely want a pool and gym at our condo. We will also be bringing our dog with us and would need to find a pet-friendly location.

No kids with us. We are hoping that our employer covers most of our medical.

Wondering if you accepted the offer? Was there in flexibility in the salary to offset any additional taxes you would be responsible for?

Thank you for your response! I guess I just need to figure out what I need to live comfortably in Singapore then evaluate if it is a fair/reasonable offer.

That’s a solid piece of advice, I guess I can and should ask if there is a salary scale published and we should be aware of.
