Singapore for Australia

in General
Hello guys, me and my family (with 5yo son) are already settled here in singapore. We are PR with our own home and with a good houshold income.
Meron ba ditong makakapagbigay comparison between living in these 2 countries based on experience?
Im just basing on some blogs na nagsasabi na pub transpo in Aus is not that good and cost of living is almost the same with SG. Pati owning a house is expensive.

    Mahirap desisyonan yan. Most people from SG nakilala kong nag migrate sa AU are those who didnt get approved on their SG PR application . Subukan mo tanungin si Admin nasa SG cya and sa tingin ko same situation kayo. Paging Admin!

    Thank engr_boy, Hi Coutnerfeit, kung sobrang compfortable na kayo sa SG, and maganda ang kabuhayan dito. you will have to weigh everything. kung anu ba ang plan nyo long term. maraming pros and cons sa ibat ibang bansa. you may want to visit AU first as a start para ma feel nyo ung lugar, see if AU is the promised land for you :) alam ko dilema mo kami rin family na stuck dito sa SG. but we will still want to migrate there when the proper time comes.
