Jonnyboy Posted 20 February, 2014 Share Posted 20 February, 2014 I imagine a westerner selling their body would do quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintdavey Posted 21 February, 2014 Share Posted 21 February, 2014 I've lived in Singapore for many years so can give you an insight. Singapore can be expensive in terms of day to day expenses in particular, housing rental, schooling if you have kids, owning a car, health expenses etc. However if you can get part of these included within your package you will be fine. Income Tax is so much lower here compared to UK, in the region of 85% less here for the same salary which is very attractive. Without knowing what kind of package you've been offered it's very hard to say whether it's good or not. If you want to know any specific costings let me know or you can email me on my user name @yahoo.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Warrior Posted 21 February, 2014 Share Posted 21 February, 2014 The internet coverage is really bad out there and you will not be able to access this forum . So can I donate a £5 for your flight tickets mr Sanchez ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
