Singapore, also known as the “Lion City”, is one of the countries that I want to visit in Asia. Have you seen Changi Airport? which I may say is the coolest and amazing airport in the world. The moment you step into that place, you will already see and feel how progressive this country is. It’s actually a tourist destination itself. A destination that you might want to inlclude in your bucket list.
Though Singapore is quite small geographically compared to other asian countries(724.2 square kilometres or 279.6 sq mi.), the urban planning is well executed from transportation, utilities, zonings, without neglecting the importance of nature. Imagine a city full of skyscrapers and filled with lush greenery. Wouldn’t that be a nice view right?
On the other hand, with SG’s low population count compared to other asian countries which is estimated at 5.8 million people at mid year of 2020 according to UN data, this country became highly interested in acquiring and entertaining new residents and labor force. Companies and businesses are even offering high-paying jobs and remunerative salary packages to attract great talents, highly-skilled workers and professionals all over the world.
So if you’re one of those people who are looking into this country as a place to work and live long-term, it is highly understandable. Considering that it is one of the safest places in the world to live in and one of the t places to grow your career. It’s a no-brainer if you’ll ask me.
