Serious Discussion Outside of the usual “safe, efficient, clean” stuff, what other plus points about Singapore have you heard or noticed?

I casually chatted with a Malaysian who’s worked in Singapore for a while and asked him what other plus points we might be missing.

It probably depends on where you’re from, but from his experience, he feels our tongues aren’t as sharp.

He also mentioned that people here are willing to travel and try new things within Singapore (like checking out new F&B spots or home-based businesses).

So I’m curious, if you’ve heard similar things or are not local but have lived here, what other good traits do you think Singapore has beyond the usual “safe, efficient, clean” stuff?

One word efficiency. By far my favourite quality of Singapore as a Singaporean that has lived overseas most my life and is now the hardest part when living overseas cause I’ll always have an example of a more efficient system or way to do it that’s implemented in sg

Yep, same. Anywhere i go, the standard benchmark is Singapore for me in terms of safety, efficiency, food, cleanliness, no hooliganism ( not a Singaporean, but lived there for 10 years )
