If you are PR, good to buy! As the ABSD is only 5%. You never know when it will increase. As for Foreigner, the 60% is just too much to swallow. So apply for PR!
It's killin' me that gaining PR in Singapore is so difficult. I would very much like to retire there, I think. We were there right before COVID (Jan 2020), and I was swept off my feet with the country. LOVE watching your videos.
All thanks to PAP govt. So many foreigners particularly ang moh are amazed at singapore achievements and love staying here even more than their own country. Angmoh always talk about how things are done here how singapore ranks no 1 in so many things but the credit goes to the excellent long term thinking governance.
The PAP were given a MASSIVE head start by the former British colonial system and LKY acknowledged this in his biography Singapore Story. While most former colonies tried to sweep the British contribution under the carpet LKY decided to capitalise it and build on top of it. Stop acting like the PAP could have done all this without that massive headstart when PAP's own leader said it was an ESSENTIAL building block
Hong Kong while under British rule FAR outpaced Singapore's success in EVERY metric until the handover in 1997 when PRC came in and started taking a wrecking ball to the economy. The PAP are competent yes but even they could not compete with British-ruled Hong Kong. Know your history and get your facts correct.
She's right about the British weather. If you're lucky, you get about two weeks of continuous bright sunshine and warm weather in the summer, the occasional short "heatwave" of a few days and the rest of the summer consisting of damp, cloudy and chilly weather. Then, there's the winter to come which can last until April.
I believe that you will live longer if you retire in a tropical place instead of a location with a cold and miserable climate, like the UK. In cold places, retirees tend to stay indoors more, as compared to tropical locations where retirees are more likely to lead active lives and spend more time outdoors. You can actually retire in Singapore affordably if you own a place, are debt-free, and have health insurance coverage. Eating hawker food is much cheaper in Singapore than eating out in the UK. One can retire in Singapore as a Permanent Resident and still enjoy the benefits given to a British citizen by the British Government.
Most of my colleagues, expats from USA enjoyed such comfortable 😅lifestyle 😅 in SG , chose to remain here after their 3 year contract expired. even though they no more given the expat package , they rather collect a local salary than going back. Some went back to their home country for a while n came back with a new job.
Dear Juliet! I am Chinese born local. Singapore is older then me 5 yrs. The world knew we r the most expensive city of the world. But hold the bus. PRC told me the housing r cheap compare to China. A neighbour said back in China he purchase 1 pte property, & in Spore the same $ he could buy 2? I have no idea.
I wanted to say this in Juliet's previous episode but she had just talked about surviving a tsunami and losing her ex-husband, so I didn't, out of respect. But glad I'm not the only one to notice the similarities to Gillian Anderson! 😄
Even at 60% stamp duty, the wealthy will still buy. They can afford it. My take is that the property prices in Singapore will not go down, it will probably maintain at current prices are go even higher.
foreigners usually invest in commercial properties (office, industrial,shops) where they dont have to pay ABSD. only ABSD for residential properties....
Singapore used to be a hub where the East and West meets. Not surprise a Brit find it easy settle here. Max, there’s a RUclips doing the same content as you but her guests were mainly from the East and speak Mandarin. ruclips.net/video/a9TLhw0h6N8/видео.html 😊
Should Ms Juliet retire back to UK, there will new culture shock and weather to adapt to. Perhaps maybe her children can come over to work in SG instead and lived within her proximity. With technology they could work from home most of the time.
Stamp duty on foreigners of 60%, just makes prices go even more crazy. Chinese investors buy up big chunks of new developments, and they're not hurt by the stamp duty, they just borrow the required investment sum from a bank, and they'll calculate it in the rental prices ;)
If you are PR, good to buy! As the ABSD is only 5%. You never know when it will increase. As for Foreigner, the 60% is just too much to swallow. So apply for PR!
You have a great channel and you bring up these very exciting personalities with probably an even more exciting story to tell and for only 8 minutes you asked her about rent and stamp duties. I could google that shit. Your video should be longer and they should share more of their journey in Singapore, the why, what how etc. C'mon, bruh, step it up.
Of course, but also "westerners" like that everyone speaks English in Singapore (more rather than less), and also the country is easier to navigate (no moving goal posts). When a process is said to take 30 days (to get a permit, or other paper) in Singapore, it takes 30 days. Not 1 if you pay extra, not 100 if you don't. Other than that, yes, China has a lot more options and is worth experiencing, of course (as have I). Each has their Pros and Cons, and everyone has their preferences.
I’m British, currently studying at Tsinghua but plan to move to Singapore. China is cool and an interesting country, glad I could experience it as a student, but the internet restrictions and pollution make it unlivable for me long term.
Max , you should go to China & interview expats there why they like China , apart from S'pore. I'm S'porean , have been to China & i can tell you China is equally amazing.
In what senses? I have many chinese friends coming to visit me in Malaysia (I am expat) and many are looking to move abroad due to increased prices in china (they live in Beijing) and uncertainties about the future. They are considering moving to Thailand or Malaysia. Maybe expats have better situation in china. I don't know
Need me to reply the reason why the friends expats make come and go every single time? Because you guys only make friends with other foreigners. Singaporeans don't come and go. Majority of them never left. Those of my friends who left, are the foreigners.
What's your point exactly? That Singaporeans don't bother to build lasting friendships with people they know are going to leave, or with people they have little in common with?
I'm sorry if you think rents have tumbled you are dreaming...fallen off a cliff, what a laugh...the cliff must have been a mole hill. What a false statement.
Dear Juliet! I not a political person. This is my thoughts. HDB estates where the biggest % r born locals. This is the place where the political parties win the GE. Never pte estates. It is not easy to swing the votes because born locals r complicated. I have a colleague. Ang mo lady who is born local. Her parents from Germany. Not her problems. A colleague & friend I advice her to go dating. I told her she is a good catch for foreigner men. Love is complex. I wish she marry a born local guy.
Better to buy or rent?
More reasons to buy than rent, if not condo then HDB.
Buy!
If you are PR, good to buy! As the ABSD is only 5%. You never know when it will increase. As for Foreigner, the 60% is just too much to swallow. So apply for PR!
Buy is the way forward.

Not just Ang Moh, PRC, CINA, our neighbours.
Sg gov create wealth for the world. PAP🎉

Thanks for this interview with this super smart and insightful lady. Thank to you both!

Tropical climate combined with higher levels of education and wealth, therefore Singapore lifespan is among the top in the world
I think in her case she wants to go back to the UK because her kids are there. Lots of people want to be closer to their families after they retire.

Because here PAP treats them like gods. Go back home they are nobodies.
Lovely to see my friend Juliet.
Very insightful!

Singapore is surviving well 🙏
Really random but Juliet looks a little like the actress Gillian Anderson! 😂
Combined with Julie Andrews. 😊
X files!

Me too
Uk is so nice now- u will LOVE it
You interviewed her previously right?
Yeh. Tsunami one

60% ??? really!

Do more M'sia video.. it is more interesting imo.. i mean see the viewers count
May I ask which camera tripod you are using?
There are ways to live in Singapore even after retired. Just work damn hard and smart when young and fit and start investing early.
Singapore used to be a hub where the East and West meets. Not surprise a Brit find it easy settle here.
Max, there’s a RUclips doing the same content as you but her guests were mainly from the East and speak Mandarin. ruclips.net/video/a9TLhw0h6N8/видео.html 😊
I know Jenny :) I actually interviewed here. It’s coming
Why "used to be"?
@@Maksim-8292 200 years ago, the British setup a trading port in 1819. It then flourished further when Suez Canal opened. 😉
Should Ms Juliet retire back to UK, there will new culture shock and weather to adapt to. Perhaps maybe her children can come over to work in SG instead and lived within her proximity. With technology they could work from home most of the time.
Yes she can use disgusting gender neutral toilets in the UK… how the mighty have fallen..
With her kind of money I would still retire in Singapore and visit UK in summer
She reminded me of Gillian Anderson aka Dana Scully
Stamp duty on foreigners of 60%, just makes prices go even more crazy. Chinese investors buy up big chunks of new developments, and they're not hurt by the stamp duty, they just borrow the required investment sum from a bank, and they'll calculate it in the rental prices ;)

Westerners haven’t realized china just a bigger size Singapore with a lot of more options. Travel and experience it !

As a PR, what benefits do they not have compared to locals though? Other than the right to vote. Genuine qn
They can’t buy hdb as a single. And higher stamp duty in property purchase
PRs can only buy hdb from resale market.
Nice. Free property consultation
should consider the title to 'Property Trend 2023' lolx (just kidding) great video still.
People who have a different passport has a choice
Max , you should go to China & interview expats there why they like China , apart from S'pore. I'm S'porean , have been to China & i can tell you China is equally amazing.
China followed LKY
True
I’m planning to go to India first. Then China
In what senses?
I have many chinese friends coming to visit me in Malaysia (I am expat) and many are looking to move abroad due to increased prices in china (they live in Beijing) and uncertainties about the future. They are considering moving to Thailand or Malaysia.
Maybe expats have better situation in china. I don't know
@@MaxChernov China will look like paradise after India.
"Rents in Singapore have tumbled. They’ve literally fallen off a cliff’

Its probably not so expensive, at least for Food. Food in Manila is more expensive.
Enlighten us please! I'm sure you are philipino.
She could retire in Gibraltar
I was going to suggest the same! LOL
Bro… what ? 🙄
Some Singaporean don't like our own weather. It is just too hot.😅
There are 5 nationalities that do not need to pay for ABSB. 🙄
