Singapore retains its crown as the most livable city for Asian ex-pats

The city remained on top given its low crime rates.

Singapore remains the most livable city for Asian expatriates, according to ECA International’s Location Ratings.

ECA rates cities based on liveability factors such as availability of health services, housing and utilities, isolation, access to a social network and recreational and leisure facilities, infrastructure, climate, personal safety, socio-political tensions, and air quality.

Singapore’s low crime rates make it an attractive location for expats, said ECA.

Behind Singapore are Tokyo, Japan (2nd), Wellington, New Zealand (2nd), Adelaide, Australia (2nd), and Brisbane, Australia (5th).

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
