Buying a home on interest outside western hemisphere : buying house and car with interest

Fatawa Question

I’m a Bangladeshi but recently moved to Singapore for job purposes. My worry is, relocating to a non-Islamic country for job purposes was not an ideal choice in the 1st place. And since I?ve relocated already, is it permissible to buy house and car with interest based bank loan in a non-Islamic country, assuming I plan to live here for longer-term (probably not for rest of my life)? Or is it better (from Shariah point of view) to keep paying rents and use public transpiration? Highly appreciate your answer.
