    Its obvious that SG is a prime choice for investments as:
    1. Its a stable economy
    2. Corruption is low
    3. More potential upside due to positive flywheel effect.


    On real estate prices, private property or commercial property prices are likely to trend up, with little effect on local HDB houses.


    What are your thoughts? [Grin]

    I think his wife should buy the whole street. Singapore is considered a safe haven, even if property prices dropped in future, land is still in high demand as compared to other Asian countries.

    so nothing surprising that they choose to park their money in property in Singapore. maybe if we walk past there often enough, can catch a glimpse of them. haha

    1. Clean and educated government that follows the rule of law
    2. Strategic shipping location that is the gateway of Asia where West meets the East
    3. World class financial centre that allows capital to flow freely in and out
    4. Technological hub with major US and China IT companies setting up regional HQs
    5. Top universities in Asia providing quality education for their younger generations
    6. Established medical institutions or hospitals that offers first world medical services for older generations

    Singapore is a magnet for global capital (maybe not global talent any longer [Thinking]) due to safety, cleanliness, rule of the law, multi culturalism, modern infrastructure and much more

    🌟🌟🌟Singapore is a safe haven with a stable government, great infrastructure and a wonderful place to bring up kids.  It is no wonder that the Ultra Rich flock to Singapore.  They set up Family Offices which require a minimum of SGD 10 million in Assets Under Management to be increased by SGD 20 million within the next 2 years.  In return the Ultra Rick get tax exemptions on their income and a great place to stay. 

    Singapore  has  world class financial services with our 3 local banks $DBS GROUP HOLDINGS LTD(D05.SI)$  $OVERSEA-CHINESE BANKING CORP(O39.SI)$  and $UNITED OVERSEAS BANK LIMITED(U11.SI)$  providing a stable banking structure and extensive services in wealth management. 

    Singapore also have excellent world class medical services with hospitals like Mount Elizabeth, Gleneagles run  by $ParkwayLife Reit(C2PU.SI)$ .  

    That is why the Ultra Rich flock to Singapore.  As a Singaporean, I am grateful to be living here where there is peace and harmony.  Singapore, my home, my country - I love you so💕💕💕

    哇,最近几年在新加坡的投资真的越来越多了。背后肯定有一些正当的理由。为什么是新加坡?[怀疑][怀疑][怀疑][思考][思考][思考]

    众所周知,新加坡长期以来一直是国际公司的首选目的地。无论是国际扩张还是建立公司总部,中国一直是东盟和亚洲商业企业的焦点。有利的法律和税收制度在很大程度上塑造了该国作为亚洲首选投资目的地的地位。新加坡拥有高度一体化的金融体系,同时也是世界上对投资者和商业最友好的国家之一。[哇][聪明][聪明][聪明][祝福][祝福][祝福]

    新加坡拥有东南亚中心的黄金位置,位于印度尼西亚和马来西亚之间。这一战略定位为整个区域的运输和贸易联系提供了无缝通道。新加坡地处市中心,对于世界上一些发展最快、最具活力的市场来说,它仍然是一个极具吸引力的目的地。[握手][握手][握手][好][好][好]

    新加坡多元文化社会与东盟成员国有着各种文化和语言联系,为该国提供了战略优势。在新加坡,英语是主要的工作语言。这促进了与世界各地投资者的有效沟通。[美元][美元][美元][鼓掌][鼓掌][鼓掌]

    新加坡欢迎提供各种财政和非财政激励措施的公司加强该国的经济发展。申请人需要满足严格的标准,承诺特定的投资水平,并引入尖端的技能和技术。这些激励措施旨在促进该国的创新和经济增长。作为回报,新加坡提供优惠,如降低企业所得税税率。[OMG][OMG][OMG][脸红][脸红][脸红]

    新加坡的公司税制度在亚洲名列前茅。对于商业利润,它的企业所得税税率统一为17%。领土税收制度确保公司对大多数类型的外国来源收入不征税。[吝啬鬼][吝啬鬼][吝啬鬼][哈哈][哈哈][哈哈]

    在新加坡经营国际企业的最大优势之一是拥有近100个双重征税协定(DTA)的广泛网络。该国还有24项自由贸易协定,这些协定既有限又全面。它们涵盖不同类型的收入,并促进税务信息交流。与东盟成员国的自由贸易协定的存在增强了该国在广阔市场中的竞争力。

    我相信所有这些都是新加坡成为任何投资天堂的原因。你怎么想的?

    Singapore is one of the international financial centres in the world. Singapore is famous for its safety environment and strict law. I think that's the reason why the rich person wanna invest in Singapore. some more Singapore property prices also keep going up and rarely drop.

    True, I feel safe even walking alone to the hotel at night time. Besides, I love the energy from the SG colleague/working culture as I like the fast pace where jobs can be done efficiently. Nevertheless, the government also plays an important role to make the country's economy even stronger which provides the confidence to international trading!

    Singapore has many benefits. Low income tax, lack of wealth, and inheritance tax. No capital gains tax as well. Good healthcare, outstanding education opportunities, and pro business policy. Safe, low crime rate, without natural disaster, multicultural, and has a rich culinary diversity.

    Singapore is a logistic and financial hub for most of the companies in the world. It have a very stable government that manage the country very secure and safe. It is a multi-races country that the people can stay harmony together. Moreover Singapore is a very small country with limited landscape for housings. Therefore, the rich people still think it is worthwhile to invest in Singapore real estate as the land is scarce. Give me a like if you support me. @Ronald37 @Danielnkl @pfitz @馬雜役 @LMSunshine @Fenger1188

    超级富豪选择新加坡作为世界上最安全的避风港,这对普通新加坡人来说既是好消息也是坏消息。新加坡的政治稳定和政府允许超级富豪在新加坡设立家庭办公室的友好政策是富人到新加坡投资的主要动机。他们的投资推高了新加坡的房地产价格。许多新加坡人觉得他们现在“更富有”了,因为他们的房产价格大幅上涨。但许多新加坡人也感到更穷,因为那些计划购买房产的人跟不上房价的上涨。

    Singapore is much safer than China when it comes to asset investment . Property prices here have been on a steady uptrend. I think it will boost consumer sentiment in the country.

    The Singapore government’s ‘Home Office’ policy has motivated the rich foreigners to park their funds and buy real estate properties in Singapore.
