“You earn SGD, should be able to afford a place”

“You earn SGD, you should be able to afford a place easily”.

-

Truth is, no one talks about how Singapore is one of the most expensive city to live in. The cost of living is very high.

-

However, fresh graduates nowadays would rather choosing to work in Singapore rather than Malaysia as the pay is higher and the currency exchange is higher.

-

And to work in Singapore, most people choose to live in Johor then commute back and forth daily to and from work.

Which is not easy at all.

-

While leaving Johor, you could notice the infrastructure and organization of Singapore as a whole city.

They focus a lot on human first.

Where its a must to build pedestrian walkway with some even covered walkways, bus stations and etc.
