Everything there looks like it is “working” when u look deeper, it is in fact same as the surrounding ASEAN countries.

Whatever statistics they published, the opposite reality is true on the ground. Singapore is the only country, i have seen publish so many statistics on state controlled media. The mass media is not a free entity and a government mouthpiece. There are not many jobs available and cost living is very high relative to wages. Slave wages, labor exploitation, lack of rights , authoritarian rule. Basically it is a third world place under disguise with first world looks. Getting out of Singapore with a overseas LLB and moving to a real first world country (UK) is the best choice i have ever made despite being a local born Singaporean.
Hard truths. Although I would suggest Australia to be a better country to work in over UK for its better work-life balance, no brexit uncertainty, proximity to Singapore to visit friends and family, sizeable Asian minority in capital cities, and of course, hot Aussie babes like Margot Robbie who could cure depression.
