Singapore is known as a ‘crazy rich’ metropolitan – which isn’t exactly a lie, but is also far from the truth.

The majority of Singaporeans (80%) live in public housing, with an average monthly income of $6K. As a first-world city, with high costs of living (although mitigated by seemingly affordable public housing, subsidies on healthcare and public transport), general public sentiments on living in Singapore hardly matches the scenes from ‘Crazy Rich Asians’.

The fast-paced lifestyle isn’t exactly ideal for all Singaporeans, especially with an ageing population (19.9% aged 65 & above), or even for those seeking a simple life.

Sometimes, enjoying life within the quiet spaces makes all the difference.
