Singapore: A Place to call home
Singapore has been voted the best city in Asia for expats and has tied in 29th place overall in the world. The recent survey carried out by Mercer analysed living conditions in more than 450 cities, looking at 39 factors including political and social environment, health, education, recreation and housing. Vienna retained its place at the top of 2023’s overall ranking, with the compilers highlighting the city’s vibrant cultural scene, architecture and history.

Good Neighbours
Singapore’s Friendly Neighbourhood Award (SFNA) has been given out to 12 neighbourhoods from both HDB and private housing estates. The award celebrates collective efforts of residents promoting neighbourliness within their community. Each of the 12 awarded neighbourhoods have the SFNA motif installed; these include Skyline II @ Bukit Batok, West Terra @Hong Kah North, The Bedok Reservoir Community and Block 2 Holland Avenue.
The estates are also marked as Singapore’s friendly neighbourhoods in Google maps.
Home Cinema
LG Electronics’ latest projector, the LG CineBeam Qube, can turn your living space into the perfect cinematic environment. It’s compact and light in design, with a 360-degree rotatable handle. It might be small, but it packs a punch, with the ability to project high-resolution images, and equipped with an RGB laser light source. The Qube has intuitive control and easy access to streaming services such as Netflix, Disney+ and Prime Video.
