The best place to live in Asia!

Not many people in this world realize that Singapore started out by taking Switzerland as a role model. We are lucky to have a “very” pragmatic leader constantly reminding us that Switzerland is a good country to follow.

To us, Switzerland is the best country to live in the world. It was to us 30 yrs ago, and it’s still is now. Even the international rating says so here.

The more obvious things about Singapore, which most tourists would have noticed by now, is being multi-culturalism, multi-language, multi-religious, and having multi national company and multi-foreigner.

But only those who have the experience of living here will realize that, Singapore is like Switzerland. It is a peaceful, prosperous, and stable modern market economy with low (if not zero) unemployment, a highly skilled labor force, free from below-the-line poverty, and a per capita GDP larger than some of the big Western European economies, as well as a stable and clean governance. A Swiss here has written the similarities between Singapore and Switzerland.

As far as I remember growing up in the 80s, I have foreigners (particularly the Europeans) here coming up to me and telling me all the time that Singapore is known as the Switzerland of the East (We did not name this ourselves).

Singapore has come a long way and has now become the best place in Asia to live in. The main draw about Singapore is that it is the SAFEST place to live in, if not the second safest place in the world.

Attached is a pic of a kid (looks like 9,10 yrs old) dining by himself in the food court here. I took this pic recently in my area. There are not many countries in this world like Singapore where you can get to have kids walking FREELY by themselves on the street. That to me, it’s TRUE FREEDOM any countries can ask for!
