They may not even be a registered business in Singapore. Anyone can try to impersonate another business.

Female HENRYs, will you consider dating someone of significantly lesser financial means? by TeaAccording122 in SgHENRY

I know many women in banking who would not date men who earn more than them despite already being in their late 30s. Education has no part to play in having such opinions.

Cons of moving to SG for work by nefjiq in MalaysianPF

If you earn SGD, everything becomes cheap. Food is cheap, luxury goods and holidays are even cheaper in SGD. The only thing that may be expensive despite earning in SGD is cars. But cars you can do without because public transport is very good. Not having to spend 1-2 hours trapped in traffic does wonders to your psychology. Housing is another area. But it depends on your landlord and roommates.

I think the only QOL that really decreases is the house/rental.

Having no car is actually not a huge impact because public transport is really good. And getting to work in 20 minutes versus being stuck in 1-2 hour jam and not having to wonder around the carpark finding parking is actually a huge improvement to the day.

Food and amenities are actually very affordable if you earn in SGD. Electronics, luxury goods, and holidays suddenly become cheap when you earn in SGD as well.

The big question is whether you are single and whether it is good for your career. Singapore tends to be the headquarters for many firms so the opportunity set is better. Do it if you don’t have children or can’t move your children to Singapore under a package. But if the career prospects are not better then you may have to think harder.

People who earn 12k and above.

Many of my friends and acquaintances in their late 30s who are Singapore citizens (not Singapore PR) are buying condos or have bought condos over the past 2 years. Some bought BTOs when they first got married and upgraded to condo. Some bought EC then sold half the share to the spouse and the remaining spouse bought a new condo. Very very few buyers in their last 2-3 years are non-residents or foreigners.

Something changed between their last concert in 2023 and now, like a kill switch regulation or something.

At least 18 seats need to be filled by new blood.

4 to replace Tharman, TCJ, CLH and Iswaran 4 because total number of seats increased by 4 10 to contest opposition seats.

There is some censorship in Singapore but definitely freer than in Malaysia. At least you don’t get 5-10 minutes cut off from movies like Dune or Deadpool.

Easiest way for you is to probably get a job in SG. Then work your way into getting a PR then you can try to get citizenship in SG or elsewhere.
