He uproots his kids from their original schools in their hometown and pays large donations(read bribes to the tune of 50k),heavy deposits(to the tune of 10k) and gets them into a school of choice.
The company reimburses the 'tution fees'(0.7k).
Some private schools want "donations" to ensure a place. However local schools may be acceptable to some, particularly British, as O and A levels are the final exams. No need to worry about drug taking or politically correct nonsense, your child will not get a book promoting same sex marriage.

And pays upwards of 5.5-6k PM for a half decent accomodation on the east coast of singapore.
Why pay so much ? With rents heading south around $4000 would get something reasonable. $2.5 - $3.0 would get acceptable further out.

Another 150k minimum for a set of wheels to get u around!
New Corolla $62 000 if you must have a car, excellent public transport.

A little bit of adaptation pays off.
