Default Is 6400 SGD per Month appropriate salary? How tax is calculated?

Dear Experts,

Sorry, for the old boring discussion but your replies are going to help me a lot.

I am an Indian, Electronics Engineer, having around 6 years of experience and recently, got 6400 SGD/month offer from a Singaporean company.

----------(1)----------
Will it be a wise decision to accept the offer and move to Singapore with my FAMILY (Wife + 1 kid - 7 years old )?
If yes, How much I will be able to SAVE, if I go for an AVERAGE life style?

I would be grateful if someone posts few LATEST FIGURES about cost of living including :
1BHK flat Rent, School fees, Food, Electricity, Internet, TV Cable charges...

----------(2)----------
Also little bit confused about tax, to be paid.
As per my knowledge tax must be paid in the month of December every year.

For example, I am moving to Singapore from 1st November, 2014 onwards........
How much I will be paying in December,2014 ..... December, 2015 ..... December, 2016 ? [As per Resident and Non-resident tax rates/ rules and Year of Assessment].

Do I have to pay MORE tax for first 6 months (183 days) as I fall in non-resident category?

----------(3)----------
What ADDITIONAL BENEFITS should I get/ask from/to the company? For example, medical insurance, annual tickets...etc.

----------(4)----------
As I am also a physically disabled, are there special facilities/ schemes provided by government for persons like me?


Thanks
