They have their own private banks and enough very loyal and well paid cronies and familees who are prepared to the bagman to hide all those billions. Gecko would have spent a greater part of her secretive life creating such a web that you would need a thousand man years to untangle.

Anything of Singapore, on the House of____ ??

A little bird from the West confirmed the accuracy of your above statements.

In the past MAS strenuously denied that Zikapore was a tax haven.

Well, now that the "Paradise Papers" mention Zikapore, I wonder what explanations in the form of denials MAS can fabricate this time.

There is nothing wrong with being a tax haven. It is the tax collecting nations that are the real rogues.

Actully when Singapore makes it in these kind of revelations, it draws positive PR as a tax haven. MAS and the Government has always made it known that it is indeed a tax haven with a rule of law. We even amended laws to accomodate the flow from the Swiss after the US intervention. Old man and GKS together created Asian Currency Unit in the 70s and it’s the bedrock that brought in funds from the region especially Indonesia and Malaysia.

I cannot recall a single instance where MAS has denied it and so has HK Central Bank. It’s a business model and necessary for being a financial centre.

But we have idiots who have no clue how we operate. They probably think that we have nearly all the banks in the World with branches here to serve the HDB heartland.

Tax havens result in loss of revenue for governments and deprives citizens of rightful government spending.

They are a bane upon the world economic order.
