I came to SG 14.5 yrs ago. PR for about 13 yrs before turning citizen last yr. If u renew your PR re-entry permit without a job and still staying in MY, most likely the govt will give u 1 yr instead of 5 yrs ya. And must remember to renew online before it expires!

To me, life is short and unpredictable, just enjoy the moment, of course, you still have to plan your future.
Thank you for yr video... it prompted me to really think and reevaluate my life after 18+ years here in the USA, as an born and raised local Singaporean... My story is strangely unique, compared to even most interesting experiences of most immigrants.... Growing up in Singapore really sheltered me from a lot of real life experiences needed to properly make good decisions... so much so i actually decided to stay in the US after just being here for 3 months in 2004... not knowing i had it best in my own home country where the government actually care and work for the people, instead for big corporations who had all the politicians in their pockets ... where there is real racial, religious & social harmony and everyone is safe from bigotry, xenophobia & prejudice.... and most of all, where there is real human warmth in most of the people back home in Singapore, instead of the cold inhumane macro environment here in US where everyone is basically so selfish & inconsiderate(especially these couple of years after the pandemic) they couldn't care less about your life or death coz they themselves are also living in a constant state of panic(always have to be conscious of their surroundings front and back coz you never know if there's just a lunatic around the corner that can just simply shoot, stab, hit or push you onto an incoming train in the subway).... plus Americans are by themselves taught to be individualist growing up...coupled with their extreme lack of worldview and proper cultural upbringing, it's no wonder at least 70% of them turned out to be ignorant, arrogant selfish pricks... what i'm trying to say is i really learned to appreciate all the wonderful amazing attributes of my own motherland after all these years... things that most Singaporeans have taken for granted, but should actually be so super grateful they actually get to be born and grow up in such a peaceful, wealthy, safe and educated environment.... that said, i'm really done with the United States even after all these years... the more i know about it, the more disappointed i am in it.... even though all the skills, knowledge and experiences that i've accumulated all these years is more for here and might not be recognized as useful when i do go back home in Singapore...meaning ill have to more or less start from scratch...ill still have no qualms in wanting to go back home soon...after almost 2 decades.....

@@zchannelzack I had watched: The Dark Side of Singapore's Economic Miracle. On KZbin. And it shows that when living in Singapore to work, whether we are a domestic or foreigner, we are encountering Face of Losing, and Fear of Losing Behind. It's not just in Singapore, more people are beginning to realize that maybe hard-work isn't all there is to life anymore. In the end, what is success if you're not fulfilled and happy? In this kind of system we're expected to work for the majority of our waking hours, with a lack of time to do things like spending time with your loved ones, self reflection and the things we enjoy, and even before that we've spent 20 or so years of our lives grinding to score well in exams. This is a more arduous task if we have scholarships to maintain since not all of us are well off enough to pay the exorbitant fees institutions charge. Families can't spend much time with each other because of hectic work culture and it has a domino effect on the whole of society. When a child doesn't get the attention they deserve because mommy and daddy are too busy providing for the family and otherwise, how will this affect society in the long run? If we only have one life, is this how we're gonna use it? It's so obvious why there is a global resentment for the current status quo. You may defend it all you want, but many of us have had enough of it.
Generally Malaysians who come to Sg to study or work all benefit materially. They all enjoy a better future. I only hope that they are loyal to the country that gives them a better future.
Thanks for the video. I went to SG to work right after college in 2011, similar timing as you, but I did not apply for PR until 2016 because I wasn't sure I wanted to stay in SG for long. I agree with all your points, especially the "ability to choose" part. Having a PR allow me to go back and forth between M'sia and SG anytime or work any job anytime without having to worry about the permits. I have type A personality so working and blending well in SG have never been a problem for me. Last year I left SG for UK, and honestly, I still miss SG a lot. But I think I'm going to have to lose my PR soon now that I don't live and pay taxes over there :(

Hi Zack, thanks for sharing the 10 years gain of your life in Singapore with us . By the way, I was very glad to see someone who has gotten a JLPT Proficiency Certificate like myself achieving the same Level 4 ! I believe you would also agree this was an important milestone for us to embark on our career with Japanese Companies with this Proficiency Certification. You are really wise to have planned for your retirement at such a young age and has worked hard to earn what you have today, keep up it up Zack !

just my two cents.... I know it is never easy to 勇敢踏出第一步离乡背井到外地打拼。 但是您是否想过,您和您老板要面对这种决定的分别在哪里呢? 您所谓的“勇敢踏出第一步”, honestly how difficult it is for you to make that decision(as compared to your ex boss) ? 您只是隔着一座桥的距离,想回家就回家, 便宜方便, 想家的时候,可以说回就回。加上,兑换率三倍的好处。而且新加坡华人居多,比较没有种族歧视的问题,马来西亚人也多,政府又对PR 很好。 想一想,您老板是否有着同一样 on par 的conditions 呢? 问一问自己,您为何不选择去美国呢?
