What can I do with my leisure time?
Singaporeans enjoy a number of different sports, including football, cricket, swimming, volleyball and table tennis to name but a few, and provision for these is excellent. Pubic residential areas provide amenities such as swimming pools and indoor sport complexes. Water sports are also hugely popular.
What's the education system like?
English is the first language learned by half the children by the time they reach preschool age. There is a mixture of private and public schools, with international schools that cater for expatriate students. In terms of higher education there are four state universities and five polytechnics. Polytechnics do not teach to degree level.
What's the transport system like? How do I get around?
There is a substantial road transport system with a network of expressways. National bus services and taxi operating companies also provide public transport. There are two different forms of rail transport - the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) and the Light Rail Transit (LRT), which adds accessibility to the housing estates. More than 2.85 million people use the bus network daily, and over 1.5 million use the MRT and LRT daily.
Private vehicle use is discouraged by tolls during hours of heavy traffic flow and high vehicle taxes and quotas on vehicle purchase discourage ownership of vehicles.
