Singapore GDP overtakes the entire Federation of Malaysia.

Quote from ProfLogic:

If you were bored in Singapore, someone had you tied up in your hotel room all week.
Singapore is one of the least boring places I've ever had the pleasure of visiting. There aren't enough hours in a week to take in all that it offers.

I'll stop, I'm beginning to sound like a travel agent.

ok ok, i admit it, i went with my lady:D
 
Quote from LeeD:
This is very similar to policy in Netherlands a few years backs. Bribes in the Netherlands were a criminal offence but bribes to foreign official were completely legal and tax deductible as business expenses.
I'm from Singapore and I have no idea what rubbish you are talking about. Bribes to foreign officials are completely legal and tax deductible like the Netherlands?? Are you going to keep replying me with more rubbish??
 
Quote from LeeD:
According to CIA Factbook 72.4% of Singaporean economt is services, which very much agrees with others postiong about the entertainment industry.
The others said it right. You didn't know your facts when you said previously that Singapore's economy is mostly financial services catering to shady sources of money:
Quote from LeeD:
One thing we should take note of is Singapore economy is mainly financial services... and Singapore is one of the most welcoming nations in the world for money with shady source and/or ownership.
There is capital punishment for trafficking drugs through Singapore... but drug truffickers who haven't got caught inside the city-country are very welcome to deposit and invest their gains.
Glad you now checked the CIA Factbook.

You are again misenterpreting what I say. I said in Singapore banks or authorities don't scrutinise where "foreign investments" comes from. Netherlands was just a broad analogy.

If you have verifiable figures to show that Singaporean economy florishes because of exceptional productivity and not purely thanks to foreign investments (that come via unscrupulous finansial sector), please post these figures. Otherwise, accept that it's your interpretation of othervise ambiguous statistics versus my interpretation.
