Singapore is an extremely pro-foreigner country, especially towards white caucasians or "Anglo-Saxons". In fact, local citizens are treated as second class, or third, depending on how you count. Google "cai ming jie" for evidence.

Your American accent will also bode well with the local sarong party types.

Your current pay is considered low. Expect to make easily twice the amount and pay half the tax rate.

Whatever you do, just don't ever convert to Singaore citizenship unless you're out of your mind. It's the worst kind of citizenship in the world. Getting permanent residency here is the best option.
