subscribed! all valid points, especially towards the end. thank you for your honesty. welcome to the uk, we’re going through a weird phase right not but it shall pass. onwards, lfg!
For me, I really hate hot Singapore weather and overcrowdedness everywhere, very high cost of living especially accommodation and car. But i am lost here. Really envy to those who can migrate to better places (i mean in terms of these 3 aspects i mentioned above).
@@garamgarum4898 I will try to make videos to share my thoughts about 1. What kinds of people are suitable for Singapore and who aren’t 2. How to choose another country to relocate to 3. What are the aspects you need to think through before making the decision of relocation. I’ll try to create and post them soon!!
I agree. But Singapore also relies on foreign labors a lot. It’s quite common to see “stepping stone” cases in the low-income-tax places like Dubai or Hong Kong.
@@kaka_lin SG is dependent on foreigners for jobs at the top and bottom tier. We do not need foreigners doing middle level jobs, like you. Tech comp? A lot of SIngaporeans can do your job, you were lucky you came to SG when it was still easy.
Lockdown is worst in China. And it's terrible in Singapore but for greater good. We survived it. You value privacy over public safety then Singapore is definitely not for you
Been there done that - was from AU and in SG 5 years and left, now in HK; very interesting compare and contrast possible between the three (and include CN since experiencing that being next door). Your points quite fair but last one - isn't that in the past now so not a deal breaker?
Thank you for the comment! The last one was the reason for my case and I agree, it’s not applicable for new cases now. But it reflects a bit of the directions of government policies. Hope it makes sense! 🫶🏻
@@KatherineChong-x7b It really depends on which industry and function you’re in. In general it’s not bad because many companies choose to have an office in Singapore
Socialising with colleagues and clients? Were you working in an overseas office of a China company? Because companies from other countries based in Singapore and the Singapore owned companies do not have such office and business culture. When you said Singapore is boring, it means you had looked at Singapore from a mono perspective. Overall, I think Singapore is not the place for you based on your personality type. Also, your negative views of Singapore is probably deeply rooted in your unhappiness over the country's COVID measures. You had allowed this feeling to shape your opinions. It's good for you to leave Singapore then. Your departure makes Singapore a better place if you keep speaking about the country with a tainted lens. I have lived and worked in this wonderful country for many years. Singapore is not boring to me and other expats because we made the effort to explore and learn about the country. There are so many layers to peel. You clearly didn't make enough effort. And now you are saying so many negative things.
The socialising mentioned in China and Korea is part of a bigger culture of having to kowtow to your boss and clients.......including providing sexual favours to them I order to keep your job or getting their business. Why need to show you are willing to get drunk in order to prove your sincerity? It is also part of a larger culture of corruption that is part of fabric of life in China, Malaysia and other countries.
Its just your character. You have a wild side and Singapore is never a good match for you. I am surprised you came to Singapore in the first place because you should have seen that coming. So to come here and then post such a video is to do injustice to Singapore which had treated you well. People who are coming to Singapore should know Singapore is an efficient small country with a hot weather generally and the important plus benefits are stability and safety. So those wild adventurous types, please dont come here and then start talking negatively about Singapore being small, hot and efficient.
@@magnusthor6259 I’m happy you shared your thoughts. However, nobody can know and expect 100% everything before coming a place and especially everything is dynamic. I also shared in my video that it’s not something good or bad, it’s just for me. I actually shared exactly the same point of you that it’s not a good fit for me because of my personality. At the same time, I think a healthy society should have all kinds of comments. That’s just my thoughts too xx
Her point on work culture in SG is really LOL, given that she is a Chinese. China is known for shitty 996 culture. And she said she had to socialize a lot in SG to get promoted. Among the asian countries, SG needs the least socializing. I dun even have to buy lunch for my clients and I still can close deals. That is not possible in all the ASEAN countries.
Imagine moving to a country where knowing their past history and what they did to your country. And not to mention the 5 Eyes. As an Asian asian American, I find it hilarious how Asians worships Europeans/Anglo-Saxons.
@@itsatrap4986 I didn’t even understand whats’s the relevance you’re speaking to the points I listed. I feel you can copy and paste this comment to any Asian who lives outside of Asia 😅
I'm a Malaysian...Singapore are so relieved & better off with you out of Singapore. And thank God, u didn't choose Malaysia... th-cam.com/video/r5MaxuMvkL4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=vgdg8trJFMd1nmN6
I’m sharing the reasons of leaving and that’s why I listed those opinions. But it doesn’t mean I only have negative opinions to SG. Things are not simply black and white xxx
You never experienced the ups and downs of growing in a developing country. From being poor to being affluent. That's why it was easy for you to pack and go.
Actually I’m from China so kinda experienced that. It’s definitely not an easy decision because relocation cost a lot of time, energy and money. And I needed to adapt the new environment from 0. It’s just after I considered thoroughly, I feel it’s good for me in long-term. However, as I’m changing and the world is changing, I won’t say it’s definitely a 10/10 decision if I look back after 10 years. I will share my thoughts about relocation in next videos. So welcome back if you’re interested in this topic :))
Then it means it’s suitable for you! I really believe it’s highly relevant to personality and lifestyle when choosing a country to live in, and everyone is different! Glad you found you loved it 🫶🏻🫶🏻
@mn8931 . I am stating my opinion too. I do find it funny a Chinese talking about SG work culture requires a lot of socializing, when china is 100 times worse. I think it's just her or her ex company. It's true that she talk shit cos it's too easy for her, she won't dare to talk about CCP. So grow up.
its called adapting to your environment, I know many Singaporeans who suddenly doesnt have Singapore accents in the US. Its natural. She has been living in the UK for over 2 years now
@@mn8931 thank you for saying that🫶🏻 I’m aware of my accent because I live in the UK and work for US company and I only started to speak English several years ago so my accent is really mixed🤣 but I’m proud that I improved a lot and can communicate with people with not much challenge
So bukit timah hiking trail is fake ? man made ? before coming to Singapore you should just google about us and know the weather and how small our island is , why torture yourself here ? Never mind , UK can keep the rubbish.
A simple google can spare her 4 years of torment instead of badmouthing other countries. Let’s lay out the facts, beside the obvious big/small issue and different season , whats UK have which we don’t have ? ask her to point some out.
@@___Danny___ glad you make this comment! I’ll make a video next time to talk about that. Please relax… I’m not saying UK is better than Singapore. It’s just my choice. And unfortunately I used to live in China so I couldn’t use Google 🥹
Could you share your thoughts about your home country China and how you intend to contribute towards your motherland's development? Do you feel ashamed about not helping out?

Unfortunately our government do not recognise this, we are spending too much resources for people to use us as a stepping stone.

Hi thank you for sharing it! How about the job market in Singapore? Is there many opportunities?
@@KatherineChong-x7b It really depends on which industry and function you’re in. In general it’s not bad because many companies choose to have an office in Singapore

Singapore is just a steppingstone for her to go to a western country. It will be more difficult for her to go straight from PRC to UK.
