Except for regulations. Singapore has VERY RIGID financial regulations and it is being used to keep competition outside! It´s an invitation only club! An yes, I have extensive experience with the matter, so don´t try to insinuate otherwise!

i never would have given a thought to insinuate otherwise until you brought up the subject.

I can think of some great places to mover overseas were your dollar significantly increases your purchasing power. Singapore is the opposite, you will need to be fairly wealthy to duplicate your standard of living.

One thing I like about Singapore is it's safety, low crime rate.
However, the people are less friendly as compared to other Asian countries.

In my opinion, people in Singapore are very friendly.

Some of the so called advanced countries could learn a lot from Singapore on how to run a country. No gangsters, feral underworld types, beggars etc.

Already do, and its an awesome place

May I ask you some favor?

If you have a chance, can you find the brokerage and tax system of cheap SG brokers (like IB) since this is trading forum.

For example, some Asia country charge $30 for tax and $3 for brokerage on each $10K BUY/SELL.

Thanks in advance.

They are there believe me, you just don't see it. It's swept under the rug and also propped up by social and govt institutions.

Mostly people disliked being mugged, defrauded etc. I guess you are an exception ?
