For your input for the criteria of your ideal working place for you and your family, Singapore will be a better contender as Singapore has a convenient transport network, great food as Singapore is a melting pot of all Asian cuisine. Cost of living wise is still quite reasonable compared to western standard. Government efficient wise, Singapore is the best. For interesting culture, Singapore has 4 interesting cultures. For cleanliness and safety, Singapore tops it all.

You'll have more savings if you choose Kuala Lumpur. Plenty of good international school. Regulation and govt are adequate. Cleanliness, my impressions are better then Bangkok but little less then the other two. For safety it is also better then Bangkok. Culture, Malaysia is between Thailand and Singapore. You'll have Malay culture as well as parts of Indonesian, China and Indian. .

If I were you I'd choose between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. I would never prefer Bangkok over KL or Singapore, although I have been there 3 times, and it is a great city, but for families, for living, its much much better to settle down in KL or Singapore. I can describe KL and Singapore easily, since they're really similar. they are both extremely modern and tidy. You can't see a cigarette butt on the sidewalks, and you can't find any carbage thrown on the roads. Both countries are really safe, and also really interesting. Their culture is fascinating. Kuala Lumpur is a little bit cheaper than Singapore, but Singapore is cheap too. For instance, a bottle of soda costs 25 US cents, and McDonalds is the cheapest in the world. (In KL a Big Mac Meal costs 2.50 american dollars.)-In Singapore a bottle of soda is less than 1 dollar. In Singapore education is on a higher standard than in Kuala Lumpur, but it doesn't mean the Malaysian schools are bad. (if I had a choice I wouldn't hesitate taking my kids to a school in KL at once) You need to know that the University of Singapore is one of the best ones in the whole world. As a tourist I prefered KL, because there's just more life in it, Singapore is a bit too organized and "too clean", if you know what I mean. Kuala Lumpur has many great places to see, beautiful old churches, and at the same time, high tech skyscrapers. KL is said to be the greenest capital of the world. Although there are many cars buildings in the downtown, walking on the streets you can feel like being in a jungle, with all the green trees and flowers around you. People are very helpful, but they don't smile. I haven't been to Hongkok yet, but it must be a cool place too:) good luck
