>There is no better place to be raising kids to be honest.
I lived in Singapore for over 10 years and have 3 kids. Singapore is incredibly safe, it's fantastic a place for starting and raising a young family. You get a lot of exposure to people from all over the world.
On the other hand, it's actually "too" safe. Locals are sheltered, often making absurd comparisons that neighboring Malaysia / Johor Bahru is some crime ridden warzone, where you take your life into your hands by crossing the border. People file police reports over their food being overly seasoned at restaurants.
IMO raising a child over the long term in the bubble is detrimental as they wind up lacking street smarts which are necessary basically anywhere outside of Singapore.
