"Expats in Serangoon Gardens often find the language barrier to be a significant challenge, as while English is widely spoken, the local Singlish dialect can be difficult to understand. The high cost of living, particularly for housing and cars, can also be a shock for many expats. The hot and humid climate can be uncomfortable for those used to cooler temperatures. The local food, while diverse and flavorful, can be a challenge for those with specific dietary restrictions or preferences. The strict laws and regulations in Singapore, such as those regarding littering and chewing gum, can also be a challenge for expats to adapt to. Lastly, the fast-paced, competitive lifestyle in Singapore can be stressful for expats, particularly those with families," remarked another expat who made the move to Serangoon Gardens, Singapore.
