Study in Boston (nice place to live but not much career progression)
Work in London (too crowded for me)
Few families in Perth (too laid back i guess)
Work in South East Asia before coming to Singapore (Not too safe, crowded and jammed too)
I choose Singapore because of this is where my friends and my family (wife) are
I understand your points about Singapore being microstate. you can just earn money in Singapore and take a vacation few times a year oversea if you want.
Being too cynical about Singapore while you are earning money from it is kinda disrespect i feel.

When I lived overseas I never lived more than 20 minutes from downtown. The population of the major metro areas in big countries are not low. That's a Singa bumpkin misconception. The population is big everywhere, what's the difference is over what land area population is spread. Singapore has no freaking metro area because it's that hilariously tiny, it's not even the size of one metro area (city and suburbs) of big countries. Lol. While other countries have over 100 metro areas to choose from.
Singapore the microstate should be the last to talk about population and pretend it's a big superpower kind of population like China or USA. Singapore the microstate has one of the lowest tiniest population in the world. Lol
