Singapore Is That Good

Singapore vs Dubai:

If cost isn’t an issue I’d go with Switzerland though I think it’s neigh impossible to get permanent residence unless you have a Swiss parent or at least a passport from an EU member state.

American investors are suddenly interested in Singapore-based companies like SE and GRAB.

Disclosure: As a Singaporean, didn’t own GRAB :yum: own some SE :slight_smile:

I am sure after the election, a TON of americans are thinking not only about investing elsewhere but moving there.

I have tons of friends who now think I was smart to get my mm2h especially when it was cheap and easy to get.

In 1965, Singapore was forced out of Malaysia.

And yet this is coming online soon to transform the whole region…

However, Singapore is closely tied to China — especially in business. This is especially true in the tech sector, where many Chinese companies have set up key offices on the island. For example, TikTok, which Chinese tech giant ByteDance owns, has its headquarters in the country, and its CEO is also Singaporean. Despite that, the country also considers the U.S. to be a key strategic partner, both in trade and politics, with the two countries’ militaries even allowed to use each other’s facilities on the island and in Guam.

This is how media influences people’s thinking. Use words (qualitative) instead of numbers (quantitative). There are much more US regional HQs than Chinese ones in Singapore.

As expected the smugglers are American companies, not Singaporean companies.

That report was followed by news that Singapore is probing Nvidia’s customers Dell (DELL) and Super Micro Computer (SMCI) — companies that make servers using the chipmaker’s Blackwell GPUs (graphics processing units) — for potentially violating US export restrictions in shipping servers that may contain Nvidia chips from Singapore to Malaysia. Malaysia is reportedly a throughpoint of chip smuggling to China.

Dell is an American company HQ in Round Rock, Texas.
SMCI is an American company HQ in San Jose, CA.
