Terrble place now ravaged by inflation.
Really feel sorry for Singaporeans stuck there.
I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

S'pore is still the most expensive city and country in the world with the costliest homes and cars, so Canadians are still far better off than S'poreans.

I heard from friends cannot get cheap instant noodles and good Chinese food. It's a problem. Public transport also not as good as Singapore.

It depends on where you stay in Canada. I have relatives in Toronto and Vancouver where there is a great variety of Chinese food of relatively high quality. Homes and cars are relatively cheap, so the big ticket items won't cost you an arm and a leg like in S'pore.

Canada has changed over past decade, when you were there everything was cheap and houses were below $400k, now minimum $1.5 million

Most of them aim for jobs in the US. But in the end, they end up in Canada.

Why things become so expensive in last 3 years?
They have so many land and can plant so many carrots and potatoes.
Why do we need 5 Mayors and 80 PAP Ministers?
