    Re: need some information

    Hi Monika,

    U are welcome, frankly speaking I did all the hard work for myself and just shared the peice of information I know with you.

    I highly appreciate your inputs on what is HBD and condo and The strait times newspaper related info and the way you need to be smart to get the house booked as for them delayed is denied. Thanks for providing all the intricate informations.

    Some time in future, I may need to relocate to singapore for my next assignment, So if it happens, by then I will have a better approach derived from your valuable inputs.





    Thanks and Regards,

    Re: Newcomer to Singapore

    Though I have not lived in singapore, Still let me give few inputs which I have heard from different people.

    I heard that public transport is one of the best in the world in Singapore

    I have posted one more thread which may be helpful in your home search in SG
    http://www.indusladies.com/forums/indians-in-singapore/27074-need-some-information.html

    I am sure lot more ILites will thow light upon your queries.

    Cheers,

    Re: Newcomer to Singapore

    Hi there,
    Welcome to Singapore!! U don't need car..public transport is great and if u need taxi also u can just wave for one the road. In my opinion car is not necessity.I have friends kids studying at global indian school and they have all given me good feedbacks. If u r looking for an apartment,whats your budget and what area are u looking at?

    Re: Newcomer to Singapore

    Hi,

    My son is studying in GIIS Queenstown.For me the school is OK,no regrets but the fee+transportation is on the higher side.

    I think u can manage without car in Singapore.
