Whole reason i moved away from that place. Its because it does not really have a whole lot of great stuff about it.
1) Cars are really expensive, on top of the car price and besides being taxed, you have something called a Certificate of entitlement (COE) This can range from 50-60 Grand right now to own a car. So a Jap car can cost 120-130 Grand. That is madness.
2) We live on top of each other. We do not have the luxury of space. So we build high rise government owned housing. Mind you 95% of singaporeans live in governement housing. For a country with a space less then the city of San Francisco, 5.5 million people just does not work.
3) Cost of living is among the top 20 in the world.
BUT, its a good place to visit and stay for a while, NOT Living there. Yup, i still do visit every now and then and i am glad i do not have to put up with that country no more.
