Despite our reputation as materialistic culture ( one with a constant pressure for us to achieve the 5C's - cash, car, condo, cow credit card and country club) - most of us are quite happy living here in Singapore. In fact, ABC news reported 95% of expats and locals appreciate the clean, safe and efficient country.
