Singapore has one of the highest standards of living compared to many other countries in Asia. It has a very safe environment, due to the lack of natural disasters. With is great economic growth you can expect to be well employed, and its political stability will ensure that you are involved in any sort of calamity.
Perhaps the most common misconception that most foreigners have of my city, is at the same time the most important fact to get right. Singapore is a sovereign democratic nation, a first world country and absolutely not one that is part of China.
We are a cultural melting pot and a very successful and peaceful one too. Blatant racism and offensive secularism is heavily penalised. Due to or diverse racial and religious backgrounds, we have developed our very own pseudo language ‘Singlish’. This Singlish is a mixture of slangs from Mandarin dialects, Malay and Tamil, thought the majority of the made up language is English. Getting used to Singlish is tough at first but many expatriates get used to it quickly as the language is in fact extremely efficient and fun!
