Hong Kong's comprehensive education system, from primary to higher learning, has been a key draw for Robert Lay and his family relocating to Hong Kong from New Zealand. The city boasts 5 of the world's top 100 universities, as well as 8 private independent schools and 54 international schools offering globally recognized curricula. This provides Lay's children the opportunity to access a diverse, high-quality, internationally-oriented education, with the ability to learn multiple languages like English, Cantonese, and Mandarin, in this global city.
Beyond education, Hong Kong's prime location makes it a great place for Lay and his family both personally and professionally. The geographical proximity to Mainland enables them to visit parents and relatives with ease. Professionally, as a major capital market with strong connectivity to Greater China and the Asia-Pacific region, Hong Kong offers abundant opportunities, making it an ideal location for Lay and his wife, both in banking and finance, to grow and be rewarded for their hard work. This has been a key reason for Lay and his family to choose to settle in Hong Kong over Singapore.
