  Since when did Singapore have a high cost of living apart from owning cars?
  
  Compare everything (including private housing) to other major developed cities and you'll find that Singapore is relatively cheap to live in.
  
  People tend to compare Singapre to backward places and declare that we're expensive to live in.That's comparing apple with orange.Those cities do not have the same GDP per capita and hence disposable income like we do.
  Compare us to New York,Tokyo,London,Hong Kong,Melbourne etc and we're alright I'll say.
  
  What I can't stand about Singaporeans is that people here tend to form streotypical views rather easily.Oh and the weather too.

  Students constantly run the risk of dropping dead because of the insane levels of stress they are repeatedly forced to suffer from.
