Southeast Asia
Singapore offers you a unique blend of East-West cultures, a global-oriented workplace, bilingual education opportunities for your children, modern healthcare facilities and other infrastructure that would fully complement your individual lifestyle choices and preferences.
Equally important – Singapore is just a short hop away from home, given the extensive air linkages available in this jet-setting age.
As a member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), Singapore's economic and historical ties with the region have contributed to active multilateral trade and investments in other member nations. With a forward-looking mindset, Singapore welcomes individuals who are keen to explore exciting career opportunities. Home to over 7,000 multinational corporations and 100,000 local companies, there is an abundance of career opportunities and international exposure for anyone who is serious about carving a niche in this globally competitive economy.
As a microcosm of Southeast Asia, Singapore will feel like home regardless of which part of Asia you’re from. An exciting range of accommodation, food and beverage, retail and entertainment options awaits you as you choose to make Singapore your world of possibilities. In addition, you can also find alumni chapters and social networks set up by various migrant groups who are eager to welcome and orientate “newcomers” to Singapore’s multicultural society.
