Well having been attending the Grand Prix and just going back to to watch the race shortly I would say that is the best reason for living in Singapore.

Other reasons would include:

Low Tax

Low Crime Rate

Able to fly to many different locations from the airport

Wide range of different foods at low prices

Hope this helps

Being in Singapore for a short time, I'd say these are my 5 reasons for living there ;


> Large expat community and therefore, English is widely spoken.
> Singapore makes the change to go green where ever they can.
> The place is very clean i.e due to No littering allowed or fine!
> The metro system is air conditioned and comfortable to travel in.
> Feels safe if out late at night.

if you have a good job and a good accomodation then Singapore is the best place to live.

1.Services 2.Taxes 3.Business 4.Public Transport 5.Cost of living (car/housing aside)

In case you don't meet the requirements aforementioned, well things can be less pleasant..

Yes I love to live in singapore

And I agree those comments from others members.  Of course you must have a good employer that whom are willing to provide you job and work visa. 

The accommodation is easily to be found and livable. 

I love the nature here and singapore has achieved the vision to be city in a garden by building spectacular Marina Bay Resort, Garden By The Bay....

I can enjoy my leisure time by exploring the nature (e.g. Macritchie reservoir) in singapore freely that I cannot do that in Malaysia due to safety reason. 

The food here cheaper than Malaysia which cost $2.50 or $3.00 for a bowl of porridge in hawker center and I have to pay higher as RM 4.50 - RM6.00 for a fish porridge in Malaysia food court. 

Harmonious relationship between races and share equality that could not find in Malaysia.

Good and efficient transport system.

Enjoy higher salary.

Fair employment practice and good meritocracy system.

A lot of reasons to further ahead in this topic
