One of my friends has been doing a "Working Holiday" in Australia and New Zealand. I never thought Singapore would implement a similar program as well. If I don't need to worry about my financial responsibilities, a "Working Holiday" program does sound very intriguing. However, would I pick Singapore? Probably not. Perhaps because of all the "competition" between Singapore and HK throughout these years which each city tries to edge the other, I never have a very good impression on Singapore. I know it's a nice place, but it just doesn't feel as vibrant as HK. :P
