Here's what four local experts had to say about wealth and income inequality in Singapore.

The cost of living here is very high. One would need to have increased income to be able to sustain a lifestyle of similar quality to that of their home country. Chewing gums are also banned throughout the country. Hawkers serve the most delicious local food. The weather is extremely humid.

Singapore is often referred to as “Asia for beginners”, which is embarrassingly apt. There is a massive community of white people living more or less completely isolated from the less affluent local population, and a further segregated group of Indian migrant workers who are barely treated as people.

Singapore is one of the few nations that represent the modern era at its best. The tiny island state is not only one of the most culturally diverse and inclusive communities in the world, but also at the forefront of Asian finance and research. The city-state has become a remarkably successful economic hub. The excess wealth generated has been funnelled into creating lasting infrastructure, making merit goods such as public transportation both cheap and convenient. The Singaporean people are welcoming and helpful. The government is one of the least corrupt in the world; the justice system has never subject any individual to arbitrary punishment. There is also a great amount of care taken to ensure the well-being of the population. Singapore is a safe, modern country filled with a myriad of possibilities.

Singapore is a fine city with good discipline. You will have to get use to Singlish. A Paradise for food lover. Shopping is a culture. Carry your umbrella everywhere. Singapore has cool nightlife. Always follow the rules and correct procedure. Income tax is quite low so it’s a great thing.
