シンガポールで高いものは「車、たばこ、お酒」つまり贅沢品です。
缶ビール500ｍlは７シンガポールドルほどでしたので、日本円に換算すると約455円しました。（１シンガポールドルは65円にて換算）
「贅沢品を買うことができるのは、お金持ちの人だから高くさせて頂きます！」という方針です。
また、発泡酒はシンガポールにはありませんでした。発泡酒があるのは日本だけなのかな？
日本であれば発泡酒がジュースと同じ値段で買えるのに。
外国を知るからこそ、自分の国のいい部分を知ることができました。

In Singapore, expensive items are "cars, cigarettes, and alcohol." In short, luxury items.
A 500ml canned beer is 7 Singapore Dollars, which is about 455 yen. (1 Singapore Dollar is worth 65 yen.)
They have a policy that "rich people are the ones who can buy luxury items so we'll make them expensive!"
Also, there was no low-malt beer in Singapore. Is it just Japan that has it?
In Japan you can buy low-malt beers for the same price as juice.
By knowing another country, I could know the good parts of my own country.

Things that are pricey in Singapore are “Cars, Cigarettes, and Liquor” which are things considered to be luxurious commodity. 500ml canned beer cost about 7 Singapore Dollars, so in Japanese Yen, it would be around 455 yen. (Converting 1 Singapore dollars to 65 yen).
The policy is “As it is only rich people who can afford luxurious commodity, we would make it high price”.
In addition, I could not find any low-malt beer in Singapore. Do you think low-malt beer is only sold in Japan?
In Japan, we can buy low-malt beer in same price with other juice beverages.
Getting to know foreign country actually led me to realize good things about my own country.

"Car, cigarette, liquor", or luxury items, is expensive in Singapore.
A 500ml beer can was about 7 Singapore dollars, which means about 455 yen. (Assume 1 Singapore dollar is equal to 65 yen.)
The policy is to set high price for luxury goods because rich people can afford them.
In addition, low-malt beer was not in Singapore. I wonder it is sold only in Japan.
We can buy the low-malt beer with the same price as juice in Japan.
I was able to recognize good part of my own country by knowing the foreign country.
