True. Very difficult to get a job in Singapore if not local resident. Plenty of good jobs available but not so inclined to foreigners unless the position is really high up.

No plan at the moment for me. No choice. Hopefully won't lose my job because I definitely don't wanna go back where I came from.

How about a poll “if you plan to leave where do you plan to go?” USA Canada U.K. Europe Australia Singapore Taiwan Japan etc ??

Singapore actually just recently relaxed many border restrictions. It sounds much easier to get into than HK for arrival from much of the Asia-Pacific region:

Singapore's lockdowns initially failed to account for its crowded migrant worker dorms, much like HK failed to account for conditions for domestic servants in between visas. But unlike Singapore, these were smaller and less permanent facilities in HK, and thus posed fewer problems. Hence the ongoing case disparity, most likely.

I’m curious too, where are you from that was so bad ?

but you do get free elections, which may or may not influence governance and responsiveness...

Some element of a mandate there, which helps quell tempers as well, at least in an Asian context.

Plus, what direction is HK moving in if you look at all the newsrooms?

Having said that, there are certainly arguments for more freedom of expression being desirable in Singapore too.

Not sure what 'free election' you're referring to, that's available in SG but not in HK.

There's now a pre screening before you can stand for election in Hk, but you can still vote even if you're in jail.

In SG, if you're a 'national security ' threat, you're probably in jail already, and no chance to stand for election anyway.
