My recommendation is to stay in europe. Given the current climate, Singapore is not as expat-friendly as before.
Not really. Though the Prime Minister has said that foreigners intake will slow down, it doesn't mean Singapore is not as expat-friendly as before. Talented foreigners are still very much in demand and very welcome here. Look at the big banks and multi-nationals here - the employees are mostly foreigners, especially the senior ones. We need them to push up the workforce's skill level and to help create more jobs. Of course, they also help boost the economy by renting our apartments and spending money here.
