We have good government for the last 57 years. No government is perfect. but SG government has done a pretty good job and most Singaporean still trust them.

If we earn 10k, we have to transfer 2k to our CPF healthcare and retirements fund. On top of the 2k, your employer are required to pay 1.7k for u. So basically ur total salery is 11.7k. And if you are earning 10k a month, your tax for annual after all relief will be only less then 3k. For a total of 120k income, yes your income tax is less then 3k. You get tax rebate if you served National service, if you have elderly parent at home, if you have maid, if you have kids, etc etc. Alot of tax rebate.

The night scene of Marina Sands or Merlion..look even more gorgeous at night!!

The ruling party managed to stay on and get re-elected since independence because of 3 key factors : (1) They deliver what they promised yr after year ensuring there’s progress , developments, high employment, good education, affordable housing. (2) Clever management of election boundaries (3) Always on the alert to point out mistakes / wrong doings by the oppositions

A few corrections...hehe. 1) Though Singapore has caning as a penalty to crime..it is only for serious crime...such as rape, kidnapping... murder etc. If found littering, only fine...no caning!! Do not be mislead 2) our retirement system...CPF, is one of the best in the world. CPF is your personal account with government. Nobody can touch it. Even not government ! A correction is monthly of about 20% of employee salary will be added to your CPF account. Employer will then contribute another 17% to your CPF. Total add up to about 37%. Where in any parts of the world....an employee would enjoy a substantial sum of 37% of your monthly salary being saved into your personal CPF account? Imagine...government ..gives you at least 5% of interest...and if this added up 30 or 40 years later, what that amount would be????? This personal CPF account...which can be used anytime!....need not be till age 65...can be further broken down to 1) use to pay your monthly instalment of mortgage loan if u buy a house...2) use for your medical insurance...3) use for your medical expenses 4) use for your children education 5) use for funds investment.... The big differences between US social security is...US..it's not your personal account in US, u must work for at least 10 years to enjoy the meager amount of $800..after age 65.. The amount you receive could be less after 30 or 40 years later as government may not have the funds. U cannot use it until at age 65!! Everyone still pays about 15 to 20% or more for salary taxes every month deducted from salary, then on top of that, u have to pay few hundreds for medical insurance, plus no interest for your taxes .....plus .you have to come out extra from your own savings for your house mortgage....and US employer does not contribute 17% like Singapore employers do.. In US, medical insurance could cost USD at least 400 to 500 per month for an individual! Even if u pay medical insurance every month, when u go to the doctor, u still have to pay for consultation fees of USD 20 to 30, plus medication fees!!!!

Btw, retirement cpf contribution is 37%, 20% from employee, 17% from employer. The book explains that with more details

Amazing country. Always love to visit Singapore

Welcome to SG!! Have fun!!!! 🌸🌸🌸🌸

Nice video! Thanks for sharing your travels!

The sphere u saw on the water is the only floating Apple store

Another Correction. MBS isnt responsible for 5% of Singapore GDP. Their revenue is about US1.1B. Singapore's GDP is about US470B

Already liked and subscribed. Have a good stay in Singapore 🎉🎉🎉

At 1:24, someone speaks in Mandarin and as a Singaporean Chinese, I can tell that he's a Taiwanese.

Most infrastructures in Singapore are linked. That bridge linking to the Gardens by the Bay is not just for the hotel guests, its for all visitors, please use it freely. and we do have elections every 4-5 years, its just that most citizens still believe in the current government's vision for the country, so they got reelected over and again, while minorities opposition parties supervise their doings.

This is what you get when a country has a stable, intelligent, diligent, effective government that looks out for its people for 60 years

Lets meet up for food if u still in Singapore

Will miss you in M'sia. Please come back and stay longer.

Only the real humans knows that this is the most stressful country 😮😮

We ain’t perfect but we try

Another insufferable video from foreigners who stereotype Singapore without living here

Yes as a Sporean, im glad we have the CPF system, to ensure we have some amount available after retirement. Especially for someone like me who is not good at saving money.

very informative
