#11 RAISING KIDS IN SINGAPORE VS. KL? Our Unfiltered Thoughts Ft. Amanda, with Maybank


Listen Later

We make fun of Jon a lot, but what do we really think about life in Singapore? 


From uprooting families to deciding where we’d want our kids to grow up, we’re tackling the real ups and downs of dual-city living and what happens when family life splits into two countries. 


With by special guest Amanda (Jon’s wife) and Maybank, we dive into the big question: is it actually better to “earn SG, live KL”?


Join us as we learn from mistakes and figure out this thing called daddyhood.
