[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Singapore is a fascinating place but it is deeply illiberal. Depending on your personality, this could be a bit irritating after a while. It is very conformist and low-key repressive. These might not be things you would notice in short visits.

That said, the opportunities for exploring the region are fantastic.

Be careful about schools etc. Singapore has seen a huge influx in the last couple of years as Hong Kong has declined in attractiveness, so things like housing and schools are much more difficult to find than hithertofore.

It is a tremendous experience for the kids. But also tremendously disruptive, particularly for the eldest one. Only you and your family can decide if that is worth it. I moved country when I was 9 and was fine with it. My brother was 11 and had a much rougher time of it.[/quote]

This post is spot on. We just moved kids those ages to Singapore and don’t regret it. But it is complicated from a civil Liberty/ free speech perspective. And there are deep inequalities with foreign domestic workers on display constantly.

You should verify tuition reimbursement, admission status and salary that compensates for spouse not working. Many employers are rightfully skittish about Singapore remote employment.[/quote]
