You know this has been made by an American when under the transportation section, only owning a car and taxi were talked about instead of public transportation.
you talked about cars but didnt talk about the railway system, both have one of the best metro system in the world, but bloomberg is american so i lowkey get it
the actual meaning of the title is the best city for immigrants (ex-pats is just a word so that white people don't have to call themselves immigrants lol)
Not necessarily, 'Expat' is used for anybody to describe themselves. For example, if YOU are Singaporean, but you live in France, you are a Singaporean expat. Anybody can use the term 'expat' as it's a self-referential word.
Should've talked about both countries excellent public transportation system though. Although yes its interesting to talk about Singapore's COE for cars 🤣
The total season parking cost for 10 years is definitely higher than Singapore COE. Parking is free in private condominium and costS$100 per month at public housing car park, guaranteed available
Okay guys, stop this century old debate, I was an American expat in HK, moved to Singapore before Covid and now I’m moving back to Hong Kong. In no ways Singapore can even remotely compete with Hong Kong in the following categories: freedom of speech, rule of law, westernization, transportation, cultural, charm n personality of the locals, democratic values, FOOOOOD, weather, things to do, size of landmass, ease of travel with the region etc and the list goes on… as for some local Singaporeans acting or behaving like British, Australian or American, when in fact they never even been to the UK, Australia or the US. In America the term is called “self hatred” some Singaporeans jus tryin to hard to be anything that they are not. These folks have ZERO of my respect, I actually respect more of the locals who speak Singlish that are at least true to themselves.
Many Singaporeans are capable of speaking/writing good proper English whether UK or US version/accent. You are entitled to your extremely subjective perspective. However, are you sure that in HK you can exercise freedom of speech?
I am telling you something Singaporean, I love Malaysia so much, because there are cheap price, good food, and kind peoples, Singapore, Hong Kong, Manila and Bangkok are Cosmopolitan city in Asia but Singaporean, Hongkonese and Filipino are not kind, not sweetest and disrespectful with walking very careless. Think about that point. But I also found Chinese from Mainland are do the same thing like Hongkongese, shame on Mainland China. But the most shocking are leaping line in the same when we are queueing.
Many foreigners voiced that Singaporeans are kind and willing to help. It is good for you to love M’sia, but please don’t tell/write falsehood about other countries.
Singapore win Easily, sorry hongkongers but Singapore better far behind, the cleanliness, Efficiency, English is lingua franca, multicultural, no bad area in singapore, its so well organized, Majulah Singapura
Should have been real about how Hong Kong was built as Bretton Woods investments as a free-market capitalist model with an exceptional smuggling port providing the world blood-diamonds and conflict minerals boosting the dull currency HK dollar tied to the economic hitman currency US dollar. To the financially educated, foreign investment hedge funds also built Hong Kong's shiny buildings as a money laundering hub with real estate investments in shoebox sized apartments the working class expats are forced to pay high rental for while at the same time charging the locals to breathe in the city. The only thing that stopped wealthier expats from supporting low-tax haven Singapore to begin with, is that the Singapore Government has always been strict with money laundering regulations on foreign investments. Now the Hong Kong national security laws has just copied Singapore with monitoring international foreign investments to not continue to exploit the city's economy. Just like Bloomberg didn't survive in Singapore, Bloomberg can no longer use low-tax haven Hong Kong to hide expats, foreign investment taxes from their high-taxed democratic government countries.
If you like culture, food and robustness, choose HK. If you like easy communication, Westernization and to an extend... easier local women, choose Singapore.
@@michaellee3314 Not necessary to visit the red light district. That is for local Singaporeans. A lot of SPGs to go around actually. I don't mean to insult Singaporeans but that is the ground reality. In HK, expatriates tend to flock together without much participation from locals... Singaporeans, on the contrary often mix and interact with foreigners. There are even times when I met Singaporeans who behave more Western than Westerners. It's a very peculiar phenomenon.
@@michaellee3314 Oh another thing, Singapore is perhaps the only place where you can meet Chinese persons with Western first and middle names. As to how they acquired the Western middle names.. I have no idea.
Singapore is better than HK hands down. From the design of the city to the transport system and the quality of the people. This city has class. HK is just a bunch of money thrown into it and chaotic
I agree with this, SG very boring and no democratic city "In no ways Singapore can even remotely compete with Hong Kong in the following categories: freedom of speech, rule of law, westernization, transportation, cultural, charm n personality of the locals, democratic values, FOOOOOD, weather, things to do, size of landmass, ease of travel with the region etc and the list goes on… "

Hong kong is light years better than singapore is not even a comparison, I don't understand these videos they just don't hit it on the mark, Hong Kong simply more world-class and more global city with more to do and see and it has a better environment for people living in every regard.
I wouldn’t say light years but for sure Hong Kong definitely has more variety than Singapore. After about a week, you would have been bored by Singapore

Top rate of 17% in HK is a marginal rate but it caps at 15% once you've started paying that much of your income.
Of course, Singapore.
Hong Kong is more fun. Plus you can take cheap weekend getaways all over SE Asia anytime you want.
Singapore is safer, cleaner and air is better. From far and near Singapore looks good
Singapore 🇸🇬 has its own Singapore 🇸🇬 Military SAF defense firce and One of the Most Advanced Military in the World 🌎.
Hong has the PLA...singapore's army and tbh every army in that region is nothing compared to it😂

The term expat refers to anyone living outside their native country. Adam Something did not write the dictionary.
There is demonstrably a difference between being an immigrant from SEA in SG and HK vs a white person who immigrates there (an “expat”)

Singapore for sure!!!!!!!!
As a holiday destination, Hong Kong tramples over Singapore. As a place to live (for families especially) I would say Singapore!
Why for holiday Hong kong is better? Singapore is more international and diverse and more English used on the street
