Expatriate Retirement Planning

Im 30 years old and working in Singapore for the next 18 months, after which I will return to England. I just payed off my student loan and dont have any debt. I dont own any property but have about 20k saved in bank. I would like to start saving for retirement. Not sure whether I should put my money into property. Any suggestions? What are the best long term saving options for expats?

    if you are 30 and plan on returning to the UK then saving to increase a deposit for a property is probably the best use of your money
