I had lived in Korea, UK, China and some other countries.. but Singapore is the best place ever. I lived in Singapore for 7 years, left in 2015. If I could solve problems at that time, definitely now I am in Singapore.
Really insightful! Thanks for sharing koala 🥰 that's so cool they have pools and gyms available to everyone. Also the fact that they speak English is a huge plus ❤🌞
Thank you Sophie! haha, rather than English, maybe to be precise, Singlish! 😂 i may make more Singlish videos. when i think about it, I smile 😹 I tried to speak it, but i don't sound right. Do you have gym in your community? i guess you don't go to gym :)
Hello KK I wanna add a S in front of KK if you let me. I agree with everything in the video and I love the part about connecting mentally. 2 things I wanna share my perspective on the 1st and last topic lost and found items and clean and organized. Lost and found I have received my wallet back in my teens twice when I dropped it. However I'm quite careful of cashier's who handle my credit cards and I never have gpay on my phone. I always set an sms alert on all my cc transactions and also make an effort to read my bill statement monthly. I get nervous when cashiers hidey card out of site or hold my card too long. Always feel thaty details are compromised. As a Singaporean I feel our cleanliness standards lose to some 1st world countries. Especially where to tuck our trash and whether we bother to clean the toilet after we use. Unfortunately we leave it to the cleaners to rubbish disposal the to manage our shortfalls. Often I see people leave empty bottles and food packs on the streets in carparks and outside the bins. Then in toilets we get a lot of people pooing all around and not concerned about who's next. Personally I was told to hijack my rubbish off a Japan snow village. It was a no rubbish zone and villagers actually kept a look out of tourist left any trash around. Then I knew that our local cleanliness standards are maybe not from the heart but rather instilled with not proper morale standards or ideals.
have a great weekend everyone. Thank you for 5k subscribers! You guys are the best!!! Plz continue to share my videos and channel with your friends and social media, so that more people can get this info I provide :)
Koala , good video. For me who knows nothing of Singapore you have done an excellent job of painting a good picture of Singapore and the experience of living there . I agree with Jason’s comment. I can tell it would be a wonderful place with warm and helpful people.
@@kksuccess111 I think I’ll wait till you go so you show me where to eat . However don’t expect me to buy a car your following has convinced me it’s not needed . I will say tho it would be a huge adjustment for me to not hop in my car and head out to where ever ! I see people in Singapore plan their trips instead of jumping in the car and see where we end up .
@@craigmcclennen4485 lol there are so many locals here and they will be able to give you the best advice for you haha.... maybe join a local on a walking tour. it's quite fun!
@@kksuccess111 What ! I have to walk ? If I do that I’ll loose weight and get in shape ! That’s crazy KK I’ve worked hard to get out of shape and fat 😂
Ummme.. you re so hyped up & excited. Wait till you walk with me , a true love of the soil, then you wld open your eyes to the real world. I wld bring you beneath the veneer of glittering gold...that hardly sees the light...but I guess Koala ll definitely make you happier by a world.
@@TheKrazyKoala Yes, the Koala ll be out of place with a greenscreen; it is most lovely seen hugging its favorite tree trunk. I like Taiwan, too. Been there many times as a conscripted soldier in the Armor role.
@@TheKrazyKoala Haha one day! I'm open to visit there. It does look like a rich country. Oh by the way, my email address is Arteris.Dewberry@yahoo.com. I can send you the article I wrote to your email, or your Facebook. Those are the only two websites I use haha.
@@TheKrazyKoala Singapore don't have natural features like grand canyon , niagara fall , yoshitmite , bryce canyon, california redwood forest, lakes , rivers , mountain ranges like colorado , fishing and hunting spots , see bisons , catch salmons , yellow jacks , watch wildlifes like deer , moose and carbou aka reindeer , having a chance to be stalked and chased by grizzly bears and mountain lions , those are the trade offs
new hometheme brand fronted by pretty expat model. it's basically an incredible idea to migrate to that country. lotsa career opportune especially in road & parking authority sector, high breed tasks only requiring highly paid mercenaries to issue fine tickets everywhere in the city. that's apparently what puts order in place on that land. and what's most unbelievable is that homies are tamed to pay fines amicably to the extent of halfing their wedges. We lofe Singapore and you honay💖💖💖 oh erm you're no close to anytin lika HDB or eco styl walker as could be seen from the toys you play, food,entertainment,clothes,accessories & material in your lifestyl they're all branded or luxury and not cheap
Singapore hits the sweet spot between convenient transport city and lots of good nature all in one place. Very few cities have that sweet spot of combos
We also have large and fully equipped public pools and gyms in almost if not all districts. Most community centres also have public gyms, tennis, badminton, basketball and other amenities too.
Thank you for all your videos Krazy Koala! I'm from London, and I've really attracted to Singapore and all that it has to offer. I have never visited, but I can definitely see the appeal and would love to live there for at least a year. I'm hoping next year I can start applying for some Marketing Jobs that hire international professionals. I'm really tired of living in London and strongly desire somewhere which is friendly to foreigners, clean and a great climate. Singapore sounds like the place for me!
Hi Natalia. Glad to hear the video is helpful to provide some perspectives. I’m also tired of San Francisco and SG is perfect for me. I made 15 videos on Singapore. There’s a playlist of SG and world travel. Feel free to check out all those. They all give diff points of views. Thank you for subscribing if you have already 😊
@Montalbanov heyy, London is one of the most accepting and inviting city towards foreigners. I’m just tired and bored of living in London, what I meant is I’m looking for a city to live in , in the future that is friendly and accepting to foreigners. A city that is going to be vibrant and exciting and more cleaner than London with a better climate!!
@Montalbanov I don’t feel any excitement or growth anymore. I spend a ridiculous amount on renting- that is defiantly something which upsets me and makes me feel unsecure. Also exactly what you have said!! The people! It’s very hard to find genuine people here and people who you can actually rely on. Deep connections defiantly hard to find here and I do feel lonely a lot and can’t say I have any genuine friends here. I love to travel as this makes me feel a lot less lonely as in hostels you meet so many people and it’s so exciting I miss travelling sooooo much. I have been to Prague 2 years ago, it is a nice city!
@Montalbanov where are you from originally? And yessss I understand what you mean when you say local people are closed minded and stuck in their old world and ways!that’s great you have the diversity there so you can meet foreigners too!! And I think that a lot of people born and raised in London age too stubborn to admit quality of life here isn’t good which is a shame. If you have a lot of money then yea sure it’s a great city indeed. But for your average person not at all
you should totally consider. i have many videos about cultural differences, working, cost of living, and just living in general for SG. plz subscribe and check them out too :)
I would say Singapore is near perfect for high income earners. Some pros that often heard from expats are actually not so affordable to locals/foreigners who earn average income. However, even for average earners, there are still some advantages that are not easy to get in many other countries (of coz, with trade-offs) 🙂 In overall, it's a great place to live if one gets a not over demanding job.
Great video. Singapore is not a perfect place for anyone, but for someone. For us, Chinese students, we prefer to studying in Singapore for various reasons as I have mentioned in my recent video.
@@TheKrazyKoala it’s interesting when you speak ... a combination of Slinglish vibe ... but not really? It’s gotta to be your love for SG lah ! Helps a lot watching especially now that no traveling allowed. So yeh it’s entertaining indeed :)
@@TheKrazyKoala I grew up in SG and had many US friends and local buddies living in CA. I finally went to live in Los Angeles in 2008 till 2017 and had to come back to SG due to family matter. Now currently residing in SG. I miss living in sunny California and the vast space it’s got!! I love driving and it’s costly to drive in Singapore as my main complain. Working hard to maintain my automobile here when it’s almost cost so little in the US to drive around. But Singapore is stable and easy access so kinda grateful lol 😂. Just one day, I might try to get back there if I do well as I just started my company again here in SG.
For me 😭 i think to exspensif ,and i think i Will get crazy maybe i must learning to forget my Indonesia chines girls frend maybe i must go to Thailand
An interesting fact. Due to Earth's gravity and centrifugal forces. we weigh around 1kg / 100kg lighter at the equator than at the north pole... We may feel lighter at first....but with all the variety of local cuisine, it won't make any difference anymore
It has been my 20 in Sg. Started my family here as well. I used to stay in Santa Clara for few years before moving back. Somehow, I would like to raise my kids in Sg due to some factors u mentioned.
I like singapore but not to live there. It has everything like london but not enough land. No where to run. No countryside mountain n lakes like Switzerland. Concrete jungle.
@@TheKrazyKoala kallang river area many crimes, especially thai workers, gangsters, some singaporeans suicides, there was once a crime a man was murdered n stuffed into travel luggage ...
Things I've found: Let's be honest, Singapore is very noisy, almost 24/7. It's not uncommon to be awoken in the wee hours by some inconsiderate clod with a pumped-up sportscar with a super loud exhaust or a motorcycle. It's a small island and getting away from the noise is next to impossible, but it can be done, there are green spaces and once you're away from a major road, which, let's be honest, there are major roads all over SG, you can find respite from the rattle and hum of the city. SG isn't a crowded place by any means. I lived in Shanghai for a year and until you're tried to take a walk in a popular spot on a weekend and ended up going for a jostle instead you'll appreciate how uncrowded SG is. A huge variety of food is at your fingertips in Singapore. Being a foodie, Singapore is awesome, there's something for everyone. COVID has put a damper on Hawker Center food culture but it's still not bad. Public transportation in Singapore is excellent. Singapore is safe and orderly and in general, Singaporeans are very orderly, law-abiding people, and riding the busses and subway isn't a jostle like it is in China. The system is clean, well run and I would highly advise you pick up a pass. Cycling. Singapore is NOT a bicycle-friendly city. Drivers in SG are not what I'd call considerate and riding a bicycle on the streets is an exercise in being super aware of your surroundings at all times - never trust that a driver has seen you. That said, there are lots of waterfront paths to cycle on as long as you are mindful of the many people on foot and the sidewalks, which tend to be wide and where a lot of people cycle; mostly to get away from the cars. Shanghai was a much more bicycle-friendly city with dedicated bike lanes and right-of-ways. The thing is, there is a 'share the road' campaign in SG, it just doesn't seem to be very active or successful. I've lived in the Middle East, Nepal, and China and have traveled extensively all over the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Asia. Singapore is very easy to get along in, I did find the banking and government departments were easy to deal with as an ex-pat. I'm not a fan of the healthcare system in Singapore, but as an ex-pat, my company provided a very good health insurance plan - and I would advise anyone living in SG to invest in a comprehensive health insurance plan. The health system is different for permanent residents and citizens. The SG healthcare system is very good and very, very expensive, quite a lot like the American system it's basically a semi-regulated free-market and a visit to a hospital or a doctor can be very costly, so make sure you're insured. Before COVID SG was a fantastic place for nightlife with hawker centers, entertainment streets, lights, and lots of public events. I'm reasonably sure these things will all make a come back after the pandemic is under control, or at least, I'd like to hope they do. Singapore is one of my favourite cities. Nowhere is perfect, but that shouldn't stop you from experiencing it for yourself and seeing how you feel. I honestly think that if you have the chance you should spend time in SG and get to know it on your own terms.
I also lived in Shanghai for a year 😂 I totally know what you meant!!! But no, SG healthcare system is not like American one. American is 10X more expensive than SG one
@@TheKrazyKoala From a Canadian perspective they're both super expensive. We pay about 1000/year for healthcare in BC, which is cheap compared to SG and the US. My company health insurance here in SG is a group plan that has fixed limits on annual health costs, so for example 20k/year is the most the plan will pay out, after which you're responsible for the balance. The annual premiums for my SG insurance are lower than my Canadian healthcare, but there are no limits to the Canadian coverage - if you need an organ transplant or major surgery, it's covered in Canada. The only thing we might want private insurance for in Canada is to pay for a private room or for loss of income while recovering. My understanding is that citizens and permanent residents in SG have a different plan where the Government offsets (subsidizes?) healthcare costs, but that one still needs private insurance. Now, I will admit that being Canadian my perspective is that healthcare can be successfully managed at a provincial level and that it can be accessible to everyone, and that in doing so we create healthier communities. Most Europeans would agree with this perspective. This point of view makes SG and US healthcare baffling at best and terrifying at worst - no one in Canada ends up with massive medical debt, for instance, or dies because they can't afford treatment. I've been living the ex-pat life for a fairly long time now and have grown accustomed to securing the best medical insurance I can when settling into a new country, it's just how one do when going ex-pat, no?
@@ByronAgain it’s true that Canadian healthcare is very good which I mentioned in one of my previous video about US presidential election debate. But From American perspectives, SG healthcare is very cheap. My doc consultation in SG without insurance is SG$20-28 in a clinic inside the community. For the same service in US, you need to pay US$200. More than 10X. As a SG PR, we can pay extra S$200-300 per year to upgrade ourselves to private healthcare plan. In US, I would pay $20k USD a year, which is 100X more. Just my personal experience
@@TheKrazyKoala Yep. It's all good information that prospective ex-pats should be aware of. American ex--pats will indeed have a different perspective and to them, SG will look very cheap. I had to see a specialist here in SG for a back problem, a single visit started at $250SG for the consult. Insurance covered this, but the insurance also has limits on the total amount per month and per year that it covers. The good thing about the SG healthcare system is that there's a lot of choices even for ex-pats and as long as your company has provided a good plan for you it's mostly covered.
Singapore is a beautiful country...but of recent financial hardships as a family man of 3 kids makes its hard to cope financially....salary r just stagnant in engineering and cost of living is increasing...its simply tough life now...
Good Evening, KK ...let me add another pointer to ur topic. No 12. PANDEMIC Best place to be compared to many countries. You are not restricted to enjoy outdoor activities, dine casually n able to move freely anywhere. Of course, certain mandatory rules still need to be adhered. Great information n insight of your review with this Little Red Dot. Congratulations on your 5K subscribers
hahah thank you!!!!! you are very welcome!!! glad that you enjoyed it! Thanks for your adds. I actually have other 10 more points saved for Part 2 😂 Will see how people like this video first. Happy Saturday!!! 🌈 🌈 🌈 🌈
@@TheKrazyKoala I tried to Google and find it.it did not say the source.bascially,the sunrise and sunset are faster,humans tend to mature faster staying near the equator.that is why they conclude that the life span is shorter. This is still subjective.
@@leonardtangty Hi Leonard, it is not true that at the equator the sun or the moon rises faster. The reason the time at the equator is 12 hours during the day and 12 hours during the night. If you live in the northern or southern hemisphere the day is longer in summer and the night is longer in winter and vice versa in winter and summer respectively. So you feel that living at the equator, the time flies faster compared during the winter in northern hemisphere or compared during the summer in southern hemisphere. In fact, the life span of the people in Singapore has greatly improved, mainly through establishment of the clean environment, through the good health care, efficient hospitals, good doctors and nursing care, modern equipments, good training and high education, good transportation, accomodation, gym facilities, amenities, housing alotments, racial harmony, tolerant religions, and recreation facilities, parks, corridors, and beaches.
I liked Singapore, and have lived there for about 12 months in the pass. It's a surprising mix of people from people all over South East Asia, UK as well as Australia and New Zealand. People are accepted regardless of their ancestral roots. My only complaint is probably when it heavily rains there was never enough taxis.
Hahahah wow I think you speak my mind!!! You remind me of how wet I got caught during the rain and could never find a taxi! Seriously 😅😅😅😅 that proves you did live in Sg hahah. Check out my other SG videos too😇 subscribe 😬
I'm Malaysian. The last few years I always visited Singapore at least once a year. 2 or 3 days holiday. Most of my friends said very expensive spending in Singapore. They didn't know that I can have breakfast for sg3 n lunch for sg4 compare to Malaysia rm 6 n rm 8 . Though if our income was sg 3K n rm3K. Plus the quality of foods ,fruits even clothing r better than we bought in Malaysia. I like your videos n comment at Singapore
3-4sgd a meal is not only paradise for expats or countries with strong currency like Usa but for us singaporeans too... See, sg can b cheap if u choose to n versatile. Except for housing n cars
Singapore is the only large city on this planet that I would like to visit. In the end I would not wish to live there. I am a rural person at heart and judge the quality of a place based on if you can raise farm animals in your back yard and hunt from your balcony.
oh haha ya. your fantasy about SGP never ends. i also enjoy farm and ranch from time to time. This is my farm experience: ruclips.net/video/Vqku9LWuEjY/видео.html
@@TheKrazyKoala That is a very lovely place. Seems more of a high end vacation spot then a farm exactly. In that video you said " Before I came to the united states" You are an American now yes? Where were you born?
@@NewmaticKe I heard about the otters. Very cute. I understand they think they are some kind of local hybrid of some sort, I have to think that animals like wild boars, that can really get very large and come with a big set of nasty teeth, may be a serious issue in a large city.
Why Singapore? .... Maybe you can do a vlog to promote Malaysia. Vast land and cheap. Should encourage more people to migrate to Malaysia. SG already too crowded.
As singaporean, i am equally proud of our neighbor, malaysia, for their people, culture, food, landscape, places to visit (i just don't much like how their government 'demonize' singapore government). We were after all once upon a time a single nation. I have relatives across the border. We like to 'compete' for best food, want to challenge, eh. Haha
I would like to add one more point. If you are not adaptable to different environments and changes, Singapore is not for you. But this also applies to any other countries.
Those who dont like to move to SG is because they are poor. Its safe, currency is strong, its hot but no hitwaves like 40c or freezing weather. When ur bored u can travel to neighbouring countries like bali, thailand etc, no natural disasters yet touchwood. Here is the rich men playground should b suitable for expats like u. After travelling around the world u should b lucky to comeback to ur home in SG
I have lived in Brazil, finland, China, the Middle East, n I am a singaporean. You r right, singapore is the most interesting country n well managed country we have ever been to. Despite of being offered a citizenship in finland, I still closed Singspore. Taxes r easily 50% in Europe, salary is the highest in singapore, cost of living is far cheaper in singapore n we don’t have to learn a new language in singapore , education is almost free all the way till A levels,n most importantly everything works in singapore, racism is almost non existent in singapore n i kids will not be offered drugs in singapore unlike Europe or Latin America. I understand why you like singapore, I also understand why some ungrateful Singaporeans shame our country despite of our government’s efforts. These people have not lived overseas or r not at all international. Never mind them .
Hi Jennifer, wow you are so international! Thank you for your understanding! I think people like us who have live in many countries would be able to appreciate even more. so amazing that you even lived in south america. i loved traveling there, but it might be hard to live there. how was the safety concern for you?
@@TheKrazyKoala I mean what visas are available for foreigner to stay long-term in Singapore. It seems to me that the only feasible option for most people is to get a job with employer who can sponsor the visa.
Coming from a Singaporean and appreciating your love for Singapore, thanks for all your videos promoting Singapore. But as a international RUclips viewer, can I suggest other content? Most of your last couple of videos are just about Singapore. And coming from a non-Singaporean is rather .... 😅 The content is getting boring.
Maybe cos of the restrictions surrounding travel at the moment, this provides them a little window and “fix” for their travel bug.. 😉. If I may, I think most RUclips channels develop and grow because of a strong sense of identity, largely from the personality of the channel. And viewers tend to stay and continue to view because they also want to know more about the person behind the channel. You should do more videos about yourself. That will keep viewers more interested. After all, Singapore is only that “big” and that much to talk about ... 😂
@@benjaminlim1997 hahaha i can. but every time i do videos about myself and my thinking process, people don't watch.... if more people want to watch myself, then i'm very happy to share more.
@@TheKrazyKoala No worries....they love the likes of you.They re only looking out for bad people like me. The moment I speak bad of em, their scissors ll act faster than you can reply to my comment. So..saving you some hard times.🤣
女神 ❤️ Thank you for posting a new video today. As usual, I enjoyed your sharing tremendously. If I may speak my mind, wherever you are is really where I'd rather be. Even if that means if I could only be admiring you from a distance forever. You will always overwhelm me in more ways than the contents of your videos ever would. No, its not that my male hormones are raging.

Dear Zac, I too enjoy reading your lovely, appreciative declaration for your love , but i know I cant get within your eyesight or earshot. Even then, I must confess -if you dont mind- that i can learn a thing or two from your most effusive & lovely language that can only emanate from a heart so enamored, and from one sincerely unabashed - a characteristic most Asian men lack, fortunately or not is moot. Anyway, my salute to you, sir ! But, I m disappointed with the Koala's response, which cldnt match up to your tempo. Koala must try harder next time.Dont give up.Zac!
@@TheKrazyKoala Dear Koala, can you not sound so unexpressive, even as it aint easy to handle such an overwhelmingly loaded proclamation, though shyness is somethg inborn. A less professional approach at certain times cld just do the trick and light up a fire! Anyway, relax Koala, Zac cld be rehearsing his line for his next drama at the theatre.🤣
Ok I'm moving to Singapore. Oh wait, Iive here already. It's not perfect, but it's better than many places. The losing weight part doesn't seem to work for me though HAHAHA
Ehh... We singaporean as pretty honest, but we have always emphasize, low crime doesn't mean no crime. We usually put not expensive like tissue paper to 'chope' (a singapore unannounced culture for a simplified reserve) a seat. We may even 'dare' to use notebook for it (with caution applied).
I can’t find anything to disagree with you. America these days are too chaotic as too many innocent people died on gun violence. Very few countries in the world are like Singapore that you can move freely 24/7. Sad to say, America today is not the same country I landed in California 31 years ago. Moreover, country has been too polarized since 2004.
most of them are true, such as metropolitan, productive, efficient, low taxes, be friendly to children, security, condo pool, but except for "tend to forget things", I think it depends 😂 one time I forgot my cell phone in a public washroom and went back only in 5 minutes, it's gone. another thing I bought a new badminton racket and left it on the seat where I was eating food in a shopping mall, it's gone too when I went back. so don't test the human nature lah😂
Hello from San Francisco! What is your impression of Malaysia, just right across the border? My wife's family is there (bro in law lives in Singapore) and I am considering doing the residence scheme (MM2H) once Malaysia opens it up again. My idea would be to spend part of the year there and the rest of the year in the Bay Area as semi retiree. I would love to hear what your pros/cons are? Thank you!
Hello Vance. Thank you for your comment and watching my video! I think Malaysia got great food and lots of good convenience. I can only offer my experiences from a tourist standpoint, since I've never lived there.

Hello KK I wanna add a S in front of KK if you let me.
I agree with everything in the video and I love the part about connecting mentally.
2 things I wanna share my perspective on the 1st and last topic lost and found items and clean and organized.
Lost and found I have received my wallet back in my teens twice when I dropped it. However I'm quite careful of cashier's who handle my credit cards and I never have gpay on my phone. I always set an sms alert on all my cc transactions and also make an effort to read my bill statement monthly. I get nervous when cashiers hidey card out of site or hold my card too long. Always feel thaty details are compromised.
As a Singaporean I feel our cleanliness standards lose to some 1st world countries. Especially where to tuck our trash and whether we bother to clean the toilet after we use. Unfortunately we leave it to the cleaners to rubbish disposal the to manage our shortfalls.
Often I see people leave empty bottles and food packs on the streets in carparks and outside the bins. Then in toilets we get a lot of people pooing all around and not concerned about who's next.
Personally I was told to hijack my rubbish off a Japan snow village. It was a no rubbish zone and villagers actually kept a look out of tourist left any trash around. Then I knew that our local cleanliness standards are maybe not from the heart but rather instilled with not proper morale standards or ideals.

Awesome video! 👍🏻 Singapore is a nice place for living
Another good thing about living in Singapore is that you can take 2 and 3 day weekend trips to Malaysia and Indonesia !
Koala , good video. For me who knows nothing of Singapore you have done an excellent job of painting a good picture of Singapore and the experience of living there . I agree with Jason’s comment. I can tell it would be a wonderful place with warm and helpful people.
Hello Craig! Good evening! Thank you for watching my video so fast! You are always so supportive!! ❤️ When would you consider visiting SG?
@@kksuccess111 I think I’ll wait till you go so you show me where to eat . However don’t expect me to buy a car your following has convinced me it’s not needed . I will say tho it would be a huge adjustment for me to not hop in my car and head out to where ever ! I see people in Singapore plan their trips instead of jumping in the car and see where we end up .

Thank you for all your videos Krazy Koala! I'm from London, and I've really attracted to Singapore and all that it has to offer. I have never visited, but I can definitely see the appeal and would love to live there for at least a year. I'm hoping next year I can start applying for some Marketing Jobs that hire international professionals. I'm really tired of living in London and strongly desire somewhere which is friendly to foreigners, clean and a great climate. Singapore sounds like the place for me!
Hi Natalia. Glad to hear the video is helpful to provide some perspectives. I’m also tired of San Francisco and SG is perfect for me. I made 15 videos on Singapore. There’s a playlist of SG and world travel. Feel free to check out all those. They all give diff points of views. Thank you for subscribing if you have already 😊
@Montalbanov heyy, London is one of the most accepting and inviting city towards foreigners. I’m just tired and bored of living in London, what I meant is I’m looking for a city to live in , in the future that is friendly and accepting to foreigners. A city that is going to be vibrant and exciting and more cleaner than London with a better climate!!
@Montalbanov I don’t feel any excitement or growth anymore. I spend a ridiculous amount on renting- that is defiantly something which upsets me and makes me feel unsecure. Also exactly what you have said!! The people! It’s very hard to find genuine people here and people who you can actually rely on. Deep connections defiantly hard to find here and I do feel lonely a lot and can’t say I have any genuine friends here. I love to travel as this makes me feel a lot less lonely as in hostels you meet so many people and it’s so exciting I miss travelling sooooo much. I have been to Prague 2 years ago, it is a nice city!
@Montalbanov where are you from originally? And yessss I understand what you mean when you say local people are closed minded and stuck in their old world and ways!that’s great you have the diversity there so you can meet foreigners too!! And I think that a lot of people born and raised in London age too stubborn to admit quality of life here isn’t good which is a shame. If you have a lot of money then yea sure it’s a great city indeed. But for your average person not at all
Singapore is a wonderful place to live in. You will never regret if you have the opportunity to do that.
Congrats on achieving 5K!
Thank you so much 😀 Got your lucky ang bao!

😂❤️for sure. We will try. Thank you for believing in us
I believe INTJ are very interesting and special group of people. They possess very special skills to support the society and economy. Cheers!
🤣🤣I believe so too. What’s your type?
I would say Singapore is near perfect for high income earners. Some pros that often heard from expats are actually not so affordable to locals/foreigners who earn average income. However, even for average earners, there are still some advantages that are not easy to get in many other countries (of coz, with trade-offs) 🙂 In overall, it's a great place to live if one gets a not over demanding job.
😁😊I think as long as u can make $5k SGD a month. It’s more than enough for good life. My calculation here. ruclips.net/video/m_csyY2VMjQ/видео.html

Things I've found: Let's be honest, Singapore is very noisy, almost 24/7. It's not uncommon to be awoken in the wee hours by some inconsiderate clod with a pumped-up sportscar with a super loud exhaust or a motorcycle. It's a small island and getting away from the noise is next to impossible, but it can be done, there are green spaces and once you're away from a major road, which, let's be honest, there are major roads all over SG, you can find respite from the rattle and hum of the city. SG isn't a crowded place by any means. I lived in Shanghai for a year and until you're tried to take a walk in a popular spot on a weekend and ended up going for a jostle instead you'll appreciate how uncrowded SG is.
A huge variety of food is at your fingertips in Singapore. Being a foodie, Singapore is awesome, there's something for everyone. COVID has put a damper on Hawker Center food culture but it's still not bad.
Public transportation in Singapore is excellent. Singapore is safe and orderly and in general, Singaporeans are very orderly, law-abiding people, and riding the busses and subway isn't a jostle like it is in China. The system is clean, well run and I would highly advise you pick up a pass.
Cycling. Singapore is NOT a bicycle-friendly city. Drivers in SG are not what I'd call considerate and riding a bicycle on the streets is an exercise in being super aware of your surroundings at all times - never trust that a driver has seen you. That said, there are lots of waterfront paths to cycle on as long as you are mindful of the many people on foot and the sidewalks, which tend to be wide and where a lot of people cycle; mostly to get away from the cars. Shanghai was a much more bicycle-friendly city with dedicated bike lanes and right-of-ways. The thing is, there is a 'share the road' campaign in SG, it just doesn't seem to be very active or successful.
I've lived in the Middle East, Nepal, and China and have traveled extensively all over the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Asia. Singapore is very easy to get along in, I did find the banking and government departments were easy to deal with as an ex-pat. I'm not a fan of the healthcare system in Singapore, but as an ex-pat, my company provided a very good health insurance plan - and I would advise anyone living in SG to invest in a comprehensive health insurance plan. The health system is different for permanent residents and citizens.
The SG healthcare system is very good and very, very expensive, quite a lot like the American system it's basically a semi-regulated free-market and a visit to a hospital or a doctor can be very costly, so make sure you're insured. Before COVID SG was a fantastic place for nightlife with hawker centers, entertainment streets, lights, and lots of public events. I'm reasonably sure these things will all make a come back after the pandemic is under control, or at least, I'd like to hope they do.
Singapore is one of my favourite cities. Nowhere is perfect, but that shouldn't stop you from experiencing it for yourself and seeing how you feel. I honestly think that if you have the chance you should spend time in SG and get to know it on your own terms.
I also lived in Shanghai for a year 😂 I totally know what you meant!!! But no, SG healthcare system is not like American one. American is 10X more expensive than SG one
@@TheKrazyKoala From a Canadian perspective they're both super expensive. We pay about 1000/year for healthcare in BC, which is cheap compared to SG and the US. My company health insurance here in SG is a group plan that has fixed limits on annual health costs, so for example 20k/year is the most the plan will pay out, after which you're responsible for the balance. The annual premiums for my SG insurance are lower than my Canadian healthcare, but there are no limits to the Canadian coverage - if you need an organ transplant or major surgery, it's covered in Canada. The only thing we might want private insurance for in Canada is to pay for a private room or for loss of income while recovering. My understanding is that citizens and permanent residents in SG have a different plan where the Government offsets (subsidizes?) healthcare costs, but that one still needs private insurance. Now, I will admit that being Canadian my perspective is that healthcare can be successfully managed at a provincial level and that it can be accessible to everyone, and that in doing so we create healthier communities. Most Europeans would agree with this perspective. This point of view makes SG and US healthcare baffling at best and terrifying at worst - no one in Canada ends up with massive medical debt, for instance, or dies because they can't afford treatment. I've been living the ex-pat life for a fairly long time now and have grown accustomed to securing the best medical insurance I can when settling into a new country, it's just how one do when going ex-pat, no?
@@ByronAgain it’s true that Canadian healthcare is very good which I mentioned in one of my previous video about US presidential election debate. But From American perspectives, SG healthcare is very cheap. My doc consultation in SG without insurance is SG$20-28 in a clinic inside the community. For the same service in US, you need to pay US$200. More than 10X. As a SG PR, we can pay extra S$200-300 per year to upgrade ourselves to private healthcare plan. In US, I would pay $20k USD a year, which is 100X more. Just my personal experience
@@TheKrazyKoala Yep. It's all good information that prospective ex-pats should be aware of. American ex--pats will indeed have a different perspective and to them, SG will look very cheap. I had to see a specialist here in SG for a back problem, a single visit started at $250SG for the consult. Insurance covered this, but the insurance also has limits on the total amount per month and per year that it covers. The good thing about the SG healthcare system is that there's a lot of choices even for ex-pats and as long as your company has provided a good plan for you it's mostly covered.
You want noise live in Bangkok! LOL.
Haze in Indonesia affected SG.... Every year without fail. So beware.

Shorter life span???
@@TheKrazyKoala I tried to Google and find it.it did not say the source.bascially,the sunrise and sunset are faster,humans tend to mature faster staying near the equator.that is why they conclude that the life span is shorter.
This is still subjective.
@@leonardtangty 😅😅interesting
@@leonardtangty Hi Leonard, it is not true that at the equator the sun or the moon rises faster. The reason the time at the equator is 12 hours during the day and 12 hours during the night. If you live in the northern or southern hemisphere the day is longer in summer and the night is longer in winter and vice versa in winter and summer respectively. So you feel that living at the equator, the time flies faster compared during the winter in northern hemisphere or compared during the summer in southern hemisphere. In fact, the life span of the people in Singapore has greatly improved, mainly through establishment of the clean environment, through the good health care, efficient hospitals, good doctors and nursing care, modern equipments, good training and high education, good transportation, accomodation, gym facilities, amenities, housing alotments, racial harmony, tolerant religions, and recreation facilities, parks, corridors, and beaches.
I liked Singapore, and have lived there for about 12 months in the pass. It's a surprising mix of people from people all over South East Asia, UK as well as Australia and New Zealand. People are accepted regardless of their ancestral roots. My only complaint is probably when it heavily rains there was never enough taxis.
Hahahah wow I think you speak my mind!!! You remind me of how wet I got caught during the rain and could never find a taxi! Seriously 😅😅😅😅 that proves you did live in Sg hahah. Check out my other SG videos too😇 subscribe 😬

Singapore is the only large city on this planet that I would like to visit. In the end I would not wish to live there. I am a rural person at heart and judge the quality of a place based on if you can raise farm animals in your back yard and hunt from your balcony.
oh haha ya. your fantasy about SGP never ends. i also enjoy farm and ranch from time to time. This is my farm experience: ruclips.net/video/Vqku9LWuEjY/видео.html
@@TheKrazyKoala Fantasy? Fascination might be a better word. I also prefer cooler weather so I would tire of Singapore's climate in short order.
@@TheKrazyKoala That is a very lovely place. Seems more of a high end vacation spot then a farm exactly. In that video you said " Before I came to the united states" You are an American now yes? Where were you born?
We've got plenty pigeons, chickens, otters, wild boars, monitor lizards & neighbourhood cats. But we dont usually hunt them
@@NewmaticKe I heard about the otters. Very cute. I understand they think they are some kind of local hybrid of some sort, I have to think that animals like wild boars, that can really get very large and come with a big set of nasty teeth, may be a serious issue in a large city.
Why Singapore? .... Maybe you can do a vlog to promote Malaysia. Vast land and cheap. Should encourage more people to migrate to Malaysia. SG already too crowded.
I didn’t have good experience when I visited Malaysia. Cheap is not always good. You get what you pay for
@@TheKrazyKoala Agreed....... But I guessed there are good things in Malaysia too.
@@gotmyonu1027 do you live in malaysia?
@@TheKrazyKoala No....but I am trying to asked people to go to Malaysia becos SG is too damn. Crowded.
As singaporean, i am equally proud of our neighbor, malaysia, for their people, culture, food, landscape, places to visit (i just don't much like how their government 'demonize' singapore government). We were after all once upon a time a single nation. I have relatives across the border. We like to 'compete' for best food, want to challenge, eh. Haha
I would like to add one more point.
If you are not adaptable to different environments and changes, Singapore is not for you. But this also applies to any other countries.

Coming from a Singaporean and appreciating your love for Singapore, thanks for all your videos promoting Singapore. But as a international RUclips viewer, can I suggest other content? Most of your last couple of videos are just about Singapore. And coming from a non-Singaporean is rather .... 😅 The content is getting boring.
Haha 😂 thank you! I put up a poll in my community tab. I asked people to vote for their topics. But most people still voted for SG contents. Why? 😅
Maybe cos of the restrictions surrounding travel at the moment, this provides them a little window and “fix” for their travel bug.. 😉. If I may, I think most RUclips channels develop and grow because of a strong sense of identity, largely from the personality of the channel. And viewers tend to stay and continue to view because they also want to know more about the person behind the channel. You should do more videos about yourself. That will keep viewers more interested. After all, Singapore is only that “big” and that much to talk about ... 😂
@@benjaminlim1997 hahaha i can. but every time i do videos about myself and my thinking process, people don't watch.... if more people want to watch myself, then i'm very happy to share more.
What about access to basketball courts?? I don’t like pool but can’t live without 🏀
😁😁so many courts. There are a few near where I live already. Come check it out
Everywhere, though if you are not use to the climate, you want to die in the heat and humidity after 30mins. :)
Lower taxes the only attraction…….and chilli in soya sauce…Asia for Dummies…
....sounds like you are doing a better job than the SIngapore Tourist Promotion Board whc can close shop by hiring you.
🤣🤣🤣🤣Maybe you can refer me to them?
@@TheKrazyKoala yeah... you bet all their eyes are watching your channel.🤣
@@deepone5005 🤣🤣🤣🤣that sounds a bit scary
@@TheKrazyKoala No worries....they love the likes of you.They re only looking out for bad people like me. The moment I speak bad of em, their scissors ll act faster than you can reply to my comment. So..saving you some hard times.🤣
@@deepone5005 😅😅😅 then you should be here hahaha
Foreigners love Singapore, Locals dont. Grass is always greener, we are but only Human...
yes very true
女神 ❤️
Thank you for posting a new video today.
As usual, I enjoyed your sharing tremendously.
If I may speak my mind, wherever you are is really where I'd rather be.
Even if that means if I could only be admiring you from a distance forever.
You will always overwhelm me in more ways than the contents of your videos ever would.
No, its not that my male hormones are raging.
Its because you are so refined, adorable, intelligent and truly in a league of your own, you will always be the one and only who will eternally fill up all my senses in expressing all five languages of love towards a lady. XOXOXOXO
(Shall I refrain from expressing Words of Affirmation/Affection, here ?? At least, I cannot help it at this moment !!) 🌼
Thanks for spending the time writing to me. Appreciate your compliments 😆 Hope to share more going forward!
Dear Zac, I too enjoy reading your lovely, appreciative declaration for your love , but i know I cant get within your eyesight or earshot. Even then, I must confess -if you dont mind- that i can learn a thing or two from your most effusive & lovely language that can only emanate from a heart so enamored, and from one sincerely unabashed - a characteristic most Asian men lack, fortunately or not is moot. Anyway, my salute to you, sir ! But, I m disappointed with the Koala's response, which cldnt match up to your tempo. Koala must try harder next time.Dont give up.Zac!
@@deepone5005 🤣🤣🤣🐨🐨🐨🐨
@@TheKrazyKoala Dear Koala, can you not sound so unexpressive, even as it aint easy to handle such an overwhelmingly loaded proclamation, though shyness is somethg inborn. A less professional approach at certain times cld just do the trick and light up a fire! Anyway, relax Koala, Zac cld be rehearsing his line for his next drama at the theatre.🤣
@@deepone5005 why don’t you show me how you would respond then?
Ok I'm moving to Singapore.
Oh wait, Iive here already.
It's not perfect, but it's better than many places.
The losing weight part doesn't seem to work for me though HAHAHA
hahahahah you are so BS, stop trying to trick people 😂
OK, think about this. if you live in elsewhere, maybe you are heavier than now!
@@TheKrazyKoala ok u win. :)
@@kianmetarudesu9572 ✌️✌️✌️🤣🤣
@@TheKrazyKoala take care in SF ok? I hear there have been an increase in random attacks on asians there. Stay safe! 🙏
@@kianmetarudesu9572 yes it's been like that for a while :(
If you leave money in hawker center, do people steal it?
you actually put stuff on the table to reserve a seat lol. so maybe not.
....
Ehh... We singaporean as pretty honest, but we have always emphasize, low crime doesn't mean no crime. We usually put not expensive like tissue paper to 'chope' (a singapore unannounced culture for a simplified reserve) a seat. We may even 'dare' to use notebook for it (with caution applied).
are you Malaysian or Indonesian?
I have never been there So.... If I go to Singapore for a Vacation would you be my tour angel?
Hahah really? Where are u now?
@@TheKrazyKoala Sacramento
@@ryanchow7553 oh cool haha I’m in South Bay now
try getting locked in singapore for a year without being able to go to jb
😅I have never been to JB
I am a Singaporean and I went to Msia only once in the last 12 years and that was a day trip to Johore Bahru.
@@stephenlim2852 haha me too. I went 2X in the past 12 years 😂
I can’t find anything to disagree with you. America these days are too chaotic as too many innocent people died on gun violence.
Very few countries in the world are like Singapore that you can move freely 24/7.
Sad to say, America today is not the same country I landed in California 31 years ago. Moreover, country has been too polarized since 2004.
hahah thank you. but feel free to disagree if any! wow how can you move from west to east coast? i'm the opposite
most of them are true, such as metropolitan, productive, efficient, low taxes, be friendly to children, security, condo pool, but except for "tend to forget things", I think it depends 😂 one time I forgot my cell phone in a public washroom and went back only in 5 minutes, it's gone. another thing I bought a new badminton racket and left it on the seat where I was eating food in a shopping mall, it's gone too when I went back. so don't test the human nature lah😂
oh!! hahah you live in SG too???!!
@@TheKrazyKoala yes, around 3 years

Hello from San Francisco! What is your impression of Malaysia, just right across the border? My wife's family is there (bro in law lives in Singapore) and I am considering doing the residence scheme (MM2H) once Malaysia opens it up again. My idea would be to spend part of the year there and the rest of the year in the Bay Area as semi retiree. I would love to hear what your pros/cons are? Thank you!
Hello Vance. Thank you for your comment and watching my video! I think Malaysia got great food and lots of good convenience. I can only offer my experiences from a tourist standpoint, since I've never lived there.
I have a video that compared SF vs SG you may be interested (SG is probably the country that most similar to Malaysia, so watch this one): ruclips.net/video/dNmobbgYyhQ/видео.html
And US vs. SG working culture: ruclips.net/video/Agq7ELmkm7g/видео.html&pbjreload=101
My experience about Malaysia, more on my book in detail, kindle and print both available on amazon: amzn.to/2Xw9FE3
They discriminate against Chinese and the police are corrupt
@@kplim9873 San Francisco proper's best weather is typically Sept - Oct. Summers can be cold. Yes, other spots in Cali can be nice especially in So Cal year round practically. When I did my exploratory visit to Malaysia pre Covid, it was truly hot. I was there in Mar or April if I remember correctly. What is the best time of year to visit Singapore? If your best is during our worst we can swap homes for a few weeks!!!!
@@keechunglow4272 I have fears of what you say. Now, should I be concerned frankly as an expat who is just semi retiring there in say Penang or Batu Ferringhi?
To be fair, only some in malaysia (esp. their malay elites) tries to marginized chinese. It was because of this that singapore became an independent state nation. I like the general population of malaysia. I've live thru the early years of singapore buddding nation.
🙏🙏🙏
Hello DD 😄
You have really overrated Singapore. It has been a mystery of where you are from ? Don't think you are ABC.
It’s not mystery. It’s privacy. I prefer keeping private info to myself. I’m just a content creator sharing my experiences like many others. I don’t know how many times I need to say this, but I’m from US. If you don’t believe, then why asked me? more exploration details in this video: ruclips.net/video/dbzD5o9Pxvk/видео.html
KK definitely from US. She spoke perfect American accent.
Have you heard how Daniel Wu speak ? He grows up in San Francisco.
@@candychan7945 thank you for being so respectful Candy 🍬 ☺️
Why move to Singapore?
Because of one people, one nation, one Singapore.👍👏💪
Perhaps, it is too “chim” for you to understand.
hahahaha maybe more than one people, many ethnicities in harmony.
@@TheKrazyKoala one people means irregardless of race, language and religion.
Another hokkien short puns, mai kaisu lah, lol (don't be so scared to lose). Fyi, "chim" is another singlish/hokkien word (used as above context as complicated)
@@drizzt167 thanks for sharing 🤩
We are full, only move and park your assets and treasure here. If Too many people we have conquered the sky or dig close to hell. It's bad idea to encourage more and more to this Citystate, pls give us a little Mercy.
Maybe a question to you: if you don't let them move here, why would they want to park their assets there?
@@TheKrazyKoala aiya..Koala, anyone, even a Martian, as long as he has $, he is embraced with open arms by the garbagement to invest/park his money here. No need for work pass or residency; the clean $ is the only passport that matters. To sweeten the welcome, no capital gain tax , and the income tax regime is a haven sought after by all and sundry from across the world. It was once known as a laundry hub not for nothing...till the Malaysian PM Najib over-indulged in eating durians with his local counterpart in the infamous IMDB saga that exposed the tiny red dot doings.
@@deepone5005 overeating durians lol
@@TheKrazyKoala Perhaps liking durians cld proof of being the true Sinkiaporean? I hvrnt come across any local who dislikes the durian aroma - sheep and non-sheep alike.
Man, I didn't have a choice. I'm born here and I'm too poor to leave. 😁😜😂😜
ps - I'm still FAT. That weight-loss theory doesn't work.
hahahaha if you could choose, where would you choose?
@@kksuccess111 Likely New Zealand. Or Finland. Either or. Long as it's cold.
If I ever visited I would never leave the nearest hawker centre. To get me home they would have to pack me into a shipping container and load me on a Chinese cargo ship with a load of cheap electronics headed for New York.
@@markhadley1545 lol that sounds more like China than SGP.
@@kksuccess111 I see they just shot a Wild boar in Punggol after it attacked two people. I wild boar of all things
I thought I saw another video where you left Singapore for the US? You’re back in Singapore?
Temporarily in US doing some admin work 😅 ya. Will be back in maybe 2 months.
Pretty lady
haha thank you Doug
@@TheKrazyKoala lets whatsapp pretty lady
No.No.No.😅
😅😅😅😅
Did u say you just need 10 min to prepare for work???
For a female, I think it's an records. My wife needs more than 10 min just for makeup. 😅
hahahaha ya. most females do. but i'm just an exception
