If you are interested and have children take note of Mach No post and the schooling allowance.
$700 / month. Now you can get a fine schooling in the local schools and that amount will cover fees. However - if you do not want the education system of Singapore and prefer international schools the sums are a tad different.
There are numerous international schools and all are in the same ball park figure of costs.
Yearly Grade 7 fees with all the "other" costs tagged on ( i.e. building fund levy).
s$19200 / year. So your monthly shortfall is just shy of s$1000. Then you got to get them there - bus is approx $150/ term plus a fair amount of taxi for all the afternoon activities - of course you can always buy a car ( ha ha ha ha ha on the freighter salary I hear you all chortle) - as a guesstimate to run a car here - you can count on S$1500 - S$1700 - all in. If you have three kids forget it - you will not make ends meet, and you will probably end up having to send the family back to your homeland.
