Moving to Singapore? Housing/Utility/Transport/Cost of Living etc!

Re: some information about singapore

Hi,

I brought some of them from India like cooker, kadai, patilas,chakla, etc... Also this time when my inlaws are coming to visit I have told them stuff to bring along.:thumbsup

Definitely the stuff here in singapore is expensive as compared to India. So bring along the important items.

Moving to Singapore

Hi Guys,

I'm Deepti and I need some info and tips on SG... Ok let me start..Me and my Hubby are planning to relocate to SG from Dubai as my hubby is planning to take an internal transfer to SG (he is in love with SG, though i don't know why) frm his current company... We are a family of 2 with 2 dogs...My q is very basic how is life in SG esp with 2 dogs?? I have read certain post on IL relating to cost of living but they r quite old dated..Firstly, since we have dogs, living in an apts/condo is ruled out.. We wud prefer to stay in a house with garden not necessarily in the heart of the city travelling 30-35min is OK, will i get a decent 2/3 bed room house for 3000SGD?? tht's the max we want to pay on house rent, Secondly, I know tht transport is quite cheap but again cos of Dogs we want to have a car ( in case of any emergency) how expensive is it to have a car?? or is it managable without a car i.e do cab's allow dogs without putting them in kennels or are their any pet ambulance service or vet's visitng the pet at ??home kind of thing and finally is SG dog friendly,we love our dogs and r the center of our world and want the best for them, Dubai is not dog friendly i.e we r not allowed to take them to beaches or parks... It will be of great help if you cud ans my q's esp house rent and any dog owners thr pls give me all info on a dogs life in SG cost of vet bills, pet insurance etc etc..Thanks in advance ..Cheers and Happy 2010 to all...

 

Re: Moving to Singapore

hi deepti





i was living in SG for 2 years.

First let me tell you Singapore is an advanced country.

There are lot of people who have pets, (infact there is a joke that singaporeans dont have kids, but cats and dogs).

So dont worry about proper vet, or hospital for your dogs.

In condos pets are allowed in singapore. Also in beaches and park. so you can relax and walk your pets to beaches alongwith you.

Regarding independent house for SGD 3000/- i think you will be able to get that.


About pet insurance, i am not able to help you.


Sgpr govt discourage to buy car, so they impose heavy tax and buying car is costly there. i think around 30000 sgd and up. Also you have some waiting time to buy a car after you book.

Cab drivers do allow i think to take pet in cab.

hope my info is of some help to you.

P.S: even i love SGpr very much.
