For SGD6K, I'm sure you can find a lot of good Singaporeans !!!
From my experience, THIS IS WHAT I SUSPECT IS HAPPENING...
First of all, the guy recruiting him (ie, the decision maker inside that investment bank) is none other than another Indian FT. This one is 100% sure.
Next, it appears that this Gupta Varun is not linked the the recruiter. That is to say, not his friend. It Gupta Varun knows the recruiter personally, he would be asking his friend about the situation in Singapore rather than going to an Expat forum to ask those questions.
Which therefore leads me to HIGHLY suspect that corruption is involved. Most likely thru a middleman recruitment agency in India. In India, it's very common to pay money to get a job. That's the norm there. I won't be surprised that this Gupta guy paid the middleman a certain sum of money and this money is shared between the middleman and the recruiter in Singapore. This kind of corruption is hard to catch cause actual transactions is done thru India. Middleman would deposit the money into recruiter's India account. There is no trace here...
Anyway, whatever it is, Singaporeans suffer.... KNN!

cost of living
<HR style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #068200; COLOR: #068200" SIZE=1><!-- / icon and title --><!-- message -->Hi welcome to Singapore.
Let me tell something about the cost to live in Singapore.

Housing:
you need to rent an apartment, either in private condominium or public house known as HDB, if your employer provides the housing, then bingo, you can save
money a lot!

Rentals varies depending on their location, i believe you company should be somewhere near raffles place, the nearby houses are expensive,
so you may need to find a cheaper one but have to travel at least 30mins.
Private condominium cost between S$2000 to S3500, high ends cost between
S$5000 or more.
HDB is cheaper, for a 2 bed-3bed rooms apartment here is know as 3-room or 4-room as living room is counted, cost between S$1200-1800.

Otherwise, you can look for a master bed room and stay under the same roof with landlord, that may cost you S$600 or more with aircon, but you may have difficulties as most of the house owners do not allow cooking, they allow you
cook instant noodle and boiling water.

If you willing to pay the housing agent half a month rental as commission,
they can help you to find a house quickly.

Transportation:
Public bus and subway(MRT) are cheap and convinient, single journey is less than S$2, for taxi, $2.6 for the first 2km, however, peak hours needs more than 35%~50% more charges, so it may cost you 20$ for a 20mins trip.

Food:
There are plenty of food courts around the island, you don't have to cook.
one meal may cost you s$6-10 only for one person. You can find indian food
as well. So you may expect $600 is enough for you to eat at home or at food court.

Phone lines, internet:

Residential phone lines are cheap, S$25 for 3 months subscription,
mobile phone 20cents per min. Phone cards are available to call overseas.
Broadband monthly cost about 50-60S$ depends on your package.

basically, the living cost in Singapore is not high, and your salary is enough to
cover all.

Thanks for your response
Company is not giving me the housing expenses and my work location will be changi business park. Also, my wife will be moving after 3 months. so inititally i was thinking of staying in a master room and then probably once my wife is in Singapore, i thought i will shift in a whole unit/apartment
Which should be the good area to stay near changi business park and also reasonable
smile.gif

Is changi business park far off from Little India..

Changi business park is located at the east end of Singapore, next to the Changi airport, it is about 10-12 MRT stations 20mins by MRT train from little India, little india is somewhere near down town, key in the link below you will find the map.

Welcome to Land Transport Authority
As you can see from the map that Changi is at the east end of the green line,
Little India is in the middle of purple line.

Nearby to your working place should be Simei, betok, tampines, east coast, but i would suggest you check by personal walking, plenty of HDB for you to choose. I am not familiar as i have been living in the west part of Singapore. Generally you need to prepare one month rental and one month deposit for Housing.

Singaporeans are friendly and easy to get along,relax and don't worry too much!
It's good you settle down before your wife comes.

Your pay is consider high in general and local average pay is about 2500 s$ only.
However, bankers are always rich everywhere.

Enjoy your relocation soon!

You can save as much as you're able to ... basically rental costs for HDB are quite cheap, especially in around the east coast area where you'll be staying ... it's more expensive the closer you are to the centre.

You don't have to spend everything you earn and as your wife will be here you can eat at home. street food is very good and quite cheap -- you can get curry and rice from a coffeeshop for $3 in some places -- but it's even cheaper if you cook at home.

You can basically get everything you want in Singapore; but to save on set up costs I'd bring basic household items like linen, cooking gear etc from India.

Will your company give you a shipping allowance? Most do.

Hope that helps

Cheers
