Singapore has been rated as the most worth living location for Asian expatriates in 2019 for the 14th consecutive year, according to a survey by ECA International.

Hong Kong dropped 12 places to get to be the 41st liveable city for Asian expatriates, “due to the disruption and considerable damage caused by Typhoon Mangkhut in September 2018.”

Other cities in Asian countries like Malaysia and Thailand have also seen higher ratings mostly due to improvement in infrastructure.

“Unsurprisingly for many, Singapore once again remains the most liveable location in the world for expats relocating from elsewhere in East Asia,” Xinhua quoted ECA Asia Director Lee Quane as saying.

“The location rating scores for Chinese locations have been improving for many years and cities such as Beijing, Nanjing and Xiamen have all seen their scores improve this year, along with many others,” Quane added.

The further top 20 locations included cities in Japan, Australia, Denmark, New Zealand, Switzerland, Netherlands, and Norway, with several cities at the same place in the ranking, according to the survey.
