I've been to Singapore a few times now, and on this past trip my wife and I decided that given we want to live abroad, it would make a lot of sense to consider Singapore. Her company has an office here, so there's the potential for job continuity, and I work in digital advertising / have my own startup, and the environment here is quite good for both. We currently live in the US, so there's a couple things we'd have to do some preliminary research on before we decide to take the plunge (assuming we have the go-ahead career wise). I was wondering the following:

1. Is shopping on Amazon something that can be done easily? We rely on it heavily for a lot of things at home, so knowing we'd have at least 75% of the availability / capability of that here would be helpful
2. Dogs - we have 2 medium sized ones (25lb and 45lb) and wanted to see how sensitive people are especially when it comes to apartments here. I see there are a couple dog beaches on Sentosa which is pretty awesome.
3. Also related to dogs - dog sitting when we go on trips. We use a service in the states called Rover. It's basically Airbnb for dogs, and you can pick sitters based on price, location, etc. Is there something similar here?
4. I know how expensive it is to buy a car here, but what about leases? We currently lease a high-end SUV at home but was curious what kind of lease schemes are offered here. With 2 dogs and eventually kids, it would be helpful to have something where we can pack everything/everyone into a car.
   
5. Credit cards / credit scores. How does that work here? It seems like Mastercard has a big footprint here, but what about American Express or Visa?
6. What are the best neighborhoods to rent an apartment in?
7. I've read about some controversies of discrimination against non-Chines / non-Mandarin speaking people - is that pretty prevalent or more just small instances making big headlines?
8. What's the attitude towards working remotely / working from home?
9. Is it pretty easy to get a maid to clean like twice a month? Or even someone to cook once a week?
   
10. How expensive is child care here?

Thanks in advance for all your help answering these.
