Some things never change. The battle between Hong Kong and Singapore to attract global business talent might just be one of them.
Five years after Bloomberg first created its guide for expatriates considering which of the two cities to live and work in, here’s a fresh look at some of the key factors in this long-running rivalry.
It’s been a period of seismic upheavals. The Covid-19 pandemic upended expectations about work, travel and healthcare just about everywhere. Hong Kong has been transformed by China’s expansive clampdown on dissent, while Singapore politics are shifting as anxiety over inequality mounts. And looming ahead is a potential slowdown in the global economy.

You know this has been made by an American when under the transportation section, only owning a car and taxi were talked about instead of public transportation.
you talked about cars but didnt talk about the railway system, both have one of the best metro system in the world, but bloomberg is american so i lowkey get it
Top rate of 17% in HK is a marginal rate but it caps at 15% once you've started paying that much of your income.
Should've talked about both countries excellent public transportation system though. Although yes its interesting to talk about Singapore's COE for cars 🤣

Hong Kong's is INSANELY good
I came to the comments just to say this.
The total season parking cost for 10 years is definitely higher than Singapore COE.
Parking is free in private condominium and costS$100 per month at public housing car park, guaranteed available
Singapore 🇸🇬 has its own Singapore 🇸🇬 Military SAF defense firce and One of the Most Advanced Military in the World 🌎.
They forget to mention weather 🤣
Hong Kong is more fun. Plus you can take cheap weekend getaways all over SE Asia anytime you want.
the actual meaning of the title is the best city for immigrants (ex-pats is just a word so that white people don't have to call themselves immigrants lol)
Not necessarily, 'Expat' is used for anybody to describe themselves. For example, if YOU are Singaporean, but you live in France, you are a Singaporean expat. Anybody can use the term 'expat' as it's a self-referential word.
The term expat refers to anyone living outside their native country. Adam Something did not write the dictionary.
I am telling you something Singaporean, I love Malaysia so much, because there are cheap price, good food, and kind peoples, Singapore, Hong Kong, Manila and Bangkok are Cosmopolitan city in Asia but Singaporean, Hongkonese and Filipino are not kind, not sweetest and disrespectful with walking very careless. Think about that point.
But I also found Chinese from Mainland are do the same thing like Hongkongese, shame on Mainland China.
But the most shocking are leaping line in the same when we are queueing.
Singapore and Hong Kong are cities of difference to each other, Singapore has got cultures quite similar to Hong Kong etc. 💖
Well Hokkien and Cantonese rivalry continues in such way agaib
Of course, Singapore.
Okay guys, stop this century old debate, I was an American expat in HK, moved to Singapore before Covid and now I’m moving back to Hong Kong. In no ways Singapore can even remotely compete with Hong Kong in the following categories: freedom of speech, rule of law, westernization, transportation, cultural, charm n personality of the locals, democratic values, FOOOOOD, weather, things to do, size of landmass, ease of travel with the region etc and the list goes on… as for some local Singaporeans acting or behaving like British, Australian or American, when in fact they never even been to the UK, Australia or the US. In America the term is called “self hatred” some Singaporeans jus tryin to hard to be anything that they are not. These folks have ZERO of my respect, I actually respect more of the locals who speak Singlish that are at least true to themselves.
But why is Singapore more advanced than Hong Kong in all aspects? Hongkong Even now it is experiencing setbacks 😂
@@Itsvivx99 HK has a high speed train. Singapore?
Next, we gonna take over New York¡ ^o^
i cna work for east west bank or chase!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hong Kong is more fun and world class cuisine!
Should have been real about how Hong Kong was built as Bretton Woods investments as a free-market capitalist model with an exceptional smuggling port providing the world blood-diamonds and conflict minerals boosting the dull currency HK dollar tied to the economic hitman currency US dollar. To the financially educated, foreign investment hedge funds also built Hong Kong's shiny buildings as a money laundering hub with real estate investments in shoebox sized apartments the working class expats are forced to pay high rental for while at the same time charging the locals to breathe in the city. The only thing that stopped wealthier expats from supporting low-tax haven Singapore to begin with, is that the Singapore Government has always been strict with money laundering regulations on foreign investments. Now the Hong Kong national security laws has just copied Singapore with monitoring international foreign investments to not continue to exploit the city's economy. Just like Bloomberg didn't survive in Singapore, Bloomberg can no longer use low-tax haven Hong Kong to hide expats, foreign investment taxes from their high-taxed democratic government countries.
No way Singapore, straight law ! 😢
Hong Kong for sure ❤
Benefit for singapore is the neighnour country
You mean countries.
Lived in both- I still would weigh Singapore better than Hong Kong!
Singapore for sure!!!!!!!!
Not for sell at all.
🤭🥱🤭
say say all you want/
cannot speak
dialect, HongKong cantonese
Singapore 🇸🇬 have land to build Big Bus 🚌 Interchange Stations and Terminals.
Singapore 🇸🇬 has loosen Travel Restrictions and tours had Already resume Travelling to Singapore 🇸🇬
that's why lots of people got sick and die. You wouldn't say this if your family member passed away due to covid coz of removal of travel restrictions.
Singapore is better than HK hands down. From the design of the city to the transport system and the quality of the people. This city has class. HK is just a bunch of money thrown into it and chaotic
I disagree with the public transport. I think the public transprt in HK is much more efficient and morr abundant.
@@konliner9286yeah right lol
@@Mystic_Edge HK has a high speed train. Singapore?
Singapore has no mountains and hiking trails. And the beaches in Singapore are all fake, sand are from Australia
@robocop581 I wouldn't surprised when your country will belongs to china
I agree with this,
SG very boring and no democratic city
"In no ways Singapore can even remotely compete with Hong Kong in the following categories: freedom of speech, rule of law, westernization, transportation, cultural, charm n personality of the locals, democratic values, FOOOOOD, weather, things to do, size of landmass, ease of travel with the region etc and the list goes on… "
Singapore win Easily, sorry hongkongers but Singapore better far behind, the cleanliness, Efficiency, English is lingua franca, multicultural, no bad area in singapore, its so well organized, Majulah Singapura
Yawn. 29 degree temp all year totally sucks. HK has very cool weather from Nov to March. HK has mountains, hiking trails and no FAKE beaches.
It's Very Obvious that Singapore 🇸🇬 is the Clear Winner and No Restrictions for Tourists travelling and Financial Business hubs to stay.
If u are rich must choose hk , if you are poor must choose Singapore! All Singaporen Live in government house !
If you like culture, food and robustness, choose HK. If you like easy communication, Westernization and to an extend... easier local women, choose Singapore.
You must have visited Singapore's red light district to say the local women are easier than HK.
@@michaellee3314 Not necessary to visit the red light district. That is for local Singaporeans. A lot of SPGs to go around actually. I don't mean to insult Singaporeans but that is the ground reality.
In HK, expatriates tend to flock together without much participation from locals... Singaporeans, on the contrary often mix and interact with foreigners. There are even times when I met Singaporeans who behave more Western than Westerners. It's a very peculiar phenomenon.
@@michaellee3314 Oh another thing, Singapore is perhaps the only place where you can meet Chinese persons with Western first and middle names. As to how they acquired the Western middle names.. I have no idea.
those singaporean women that you mentioned also tend to choose the easier western expats.
@@jon_nomad they could be Catholic and/or Eurasian. I have classmates with these type of names
i cna cheat a casino marry a fuerdia or leave for japan or hong kong.
Singapore is better than Hongkong in any aspects and criterias
Oh really. Singapore has beaches and mountains? Singapore has 10°C to 20°C temperature from Nov to Feb?
@@robocop581
Singapore doesn't have mountains it's the reason why it's livable than Hongkong
Then how come lower temperature means better? Hongkong didn't even have s popular beaches
@@robocop581never heard beaches is hong kong lol
@@Mystic_Edge That's because you're ignorant. Big Wave Beach is one. We have 100 outlying islands so pick one.
@@robocop581 wouldn't have to swim on those dirty beaches
Expat should stay their own home
We don't need them
enjoy your lockdown 😆
Understand how you feel. Western expats are insufferable twats who live in their own bubble anyway, no point going to other people countries disturbing the social peace
You are a visitor like everybody else.
i can cheat a casino marry a fuerdia or leave for japan or hong kong.
If you’re happy to salute Xi Jinping, choose Hong Kong 😂😂😂
Meanwhile in the REAL WORLD to the FINANCIALLY EDUCATED, if you're happy to dish out 70% of your income for rental for a shoebox sized apartment choose Hong Kong. Those who are living in financial struggles in their CORPOCRACY democratic countries are too in debt to have the privilege of travels to experience the rest of the world - which is why you're oblivious to the fact that Hong Kong has always been ranked as one of the most expensive city's in the world to live in with UK hedge fund investments boosting the HK dollar tied to the US dollar charging Hong Kongers to breath in the city!
FINANCIAL EDUCATION: While the poorly educated think the Fragrant Harbour Hong Kong was built on the Queen of England's fairy dust, to the FINANCIALLY EDUCATED the resource-poor Hong Kong was built by Bretton Woods investments as a free-market capitalist model and exceptional smuggling port providing the world blood-diamonds and conflict minerals which is how the dull currency HK dollar tied to the economic hitman currency US dollar works!
* The resource-poor United States war instigator, genocidal instigator, economic hitman currency US dollar forced on resource-based countries as the world's reserve currency giving the over $30 trillion federal debit-stressed Americans capitalist life does not work on the fairy dust as you think 🤣🤣🤣
If you were financially educated, you would know a Democratic Government System is whereby financial corporations control economies which is why Americans in the United States are just surviving financially while foreigners in the United States are billionaires hiding their investment taxes in low-tax haven Hong Kong as the international financial hub bridge. Singapore is too Draconian with money laundering regulations.
Hong kong has gone down the drain
If you like social credit and communism? You go to Hong Kong, if you like 100 lashes for spitting on the sidewalk? Then you go to Singapore?
I'm local Singaporean and I never been lashed even once, don't talk shit about my country
Try not to act stupid on the net when you are born stupid in real life.
Good. Give 100 slap. Dirty fellow. Spit anywhere
Dude, 100 lashes? It’s pretty obvious you don’t know much about Singapore. You get a fine of about USD$70 for spitting. That’s cheap isn’t it.
social credit and communism don't apply to Hong Kong. No such thing as 100 lashes for spitting in Singapore. You should consider US though, the mass shooting is very real there, easier to get rid of undesirables like you
Singapore because best goverment on the planet vs one of the worst?
