You need to be seriously retarded and spastic not to make a great living in Singapore. Unfortunately, some Singaporeans are, the likes of Makapa and Hakka Tiu

Singapore receives high praise for its business modelBy 938 LIVE | Posted: 23 August 2008 1408 hrs

SINGAPORE: Analysts reviewing Singapore's plan to boost its economy said the country is well on its way to meeting the goals of a free and open trade and investment climate by 2010.

These goals, termed the Bogor goals, were set by the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) members in 1994 when they met in Bogor, Indonesia.

Since then, each of APEC's 21 member economies is required to undergo periodic analysis of its progress in realising the goals.

In the latest review of Singapore's plan, analysts called the country a "star APEC performer".

Singapore has enabled its economy to move up the value chain by adopting measures to respond to the changing global economy.

Singapore has also demonstrated resilience to changing global economic conditions through pragmatic policy responses and continuous economic reform.

The report also noted that Singapore's liberal investment regime and predictable, transparent and market-friendly policies have enhanced its attractiveness as an investment destination.

The level of transparency, integrity and trust pervading Singapore's system and culture of governance has also helped.

Yet, Singapore is constantly seeking to improve its operating laws and regulations to ensure the business environment is market-driven, and consistent with international best practices, the report said.

It is best for businessman because every worker here sings one song, "CHEAP,CHEAP,CHEAP,CHEAP!!!" You are really an idiot when it comes to employer-employee relations.

No doubt Peesai is a safe haven for the rich and powerful. Where in the world do u find a cuntry that makes its citizens risk their lives to serve and protect one Familee and foreigners while dishing out free citizenship with no obligation to foreigners like used panties? While the Familee ensures that itself and its running dogs are the most highly paid in the world through broad daylight leegalized corruption?

Have you been hiding in a cave. Japan has been in a recession for the last two decades.

If you want to quarrel, invite the party over to the rubbish section so you can flame each other there.

You can debate robustly here but no name calling please.

BTW your Hakka friend is waiting for you in this thread.

*cough* Singapore is an ant under the feet of China and India. As these giants rise, Singapore will be sidelined to become more of a backwater than it already is

I just wish that SG immigration would be a little more serious about honouring the status of APEC business travellers at the airport. When departing SG, the APEC business traveller card is not even recognized at immigration. When arriving, the APEC channel is lumped together with citizens and residents. Because I'm already a resident, there is absolutely no benefit at SG immigration of being an APEC member or card-holder. When travelling in and out of countries in and out of the region more than 30 times a year, there is nothing worse than being stuck in queue at immigration - I just wanna get home. The APEC membership is supposed to avoid this queuing for me.

In every other country within APEC economies, I do not ever need to get a visa, and arrival and departure at immigration is via specific APEC/VIP/Dimplomat Channel... some countries even provide dedicated baggage inspection units... in China, I even have officers in uniform salute as I walk the red carpet. This is out of respect for the APEC charter to build relationships and trade within the participating economies. Don't get me wrong, I don't expect to be saluted anywhere, but I do expect immigration to acknowledge what we are doing for the economies on a regional basis. At a minimum, I should not be made wait in queue with the 'infrequent' traveller or vacationer... I have much better things to do with my life - constant business travel and time away from one's family is not a 'priveledge', it's an unfortunate necessity.

Would just like to see consistency by SG immigration in comparison to all other APEC economies.

Pal, you should call up the airport management and highlight to them.

Yah, right. That's why all the FTs come here

The headline says best BUSINESS climate. It means best for BUSINESS OWNERS and LEADERS. Not lowly singaporean employees. What's stopping you from becoming a business owner yourself??

Mr.Clinton666, what do you think of the quality of the replies to your post?

OK - I can now say the worst is Chicago O'hare airport... after 30 hours of travelling (through HK) I found that they have an APEC line at immigration (air crew and APEC members), but when I got to the counter the officer didn't know what to do, so sent me to the next aisle across which is for the disabled and war veterans (they pushed me in front of people in wheelchairs - talk about feeling guilty)... hopefully they will get it right by the time the US become APEC economy members in January 09. I obviously questioned the first officer what the problem was, and he acted so ugly I was scared he was gonna arrest me for going up my designated lane.
