Jim Rogers : Singapore has the Best of Everything

Jim Rogers : Singapore has the best of everything—great education, great health care, everything works here. It's been an astonishing success story over the past 40 years. We're very pleased here.
When I was selling my New York house, I almost backed out; I just couldn't bear the thought of leaving. But now I'm very happy here. I fly to New York and I realize I'm in a Third World airport. Then I get into a Third World taxi onto a Third World highway. The difference now just slaps me in the face. New York is a wonderful place, with the people and the vibrancy, but I can find the same vibrancy, if not more, in Asia.- in Barron's

Singapore is becoming the new Switzerland as its sits right next to China

Fusion: Bright spots ?  Is Singapore moving in the right direction ?
Jim Rogers: I hope so, as I moved here. Singapore is doing a good job. Income taxes are low, incentives to save are high, savings rates are high, and they do their best to attract capital and labor. There is a bit of a backlash now, with some of the problems immigrants are bringing here, but that has happened to all nations at some point in history. Overall, Singapore is doing well. Singapore is becoming the new Switzerland as its sits right next to China and has been helped by problems with offshore havens like Switzerland and Cyprus. It will be the fastest growing money center in the next 10 years.  - Jim Rogers interview with Fusion MarketSite

Jim Rogers : Singapore Needs Immigrants

Jim Rogers : “One of the reasons why Singapore has been successful is because it encouraged immigration and nearly everyone in Singapore is an immigrant or family of an immigrant,” “Lee Kuan Yew [Singapore’s founding Prime Minister] is a second-generation immigrant.” With its low taxes, low unemployment rate, and good rule of law, Singapore has always been an appealing immigration destination. In recent years, it has also become a haven for the world’s rich and famous. - in Forbes

Homeless in Singapore

April 05, 2010 — Singapore is a nation of homeowners, largely thanks to a comprehensive system of government subsidized housing.

But despite the system's overall success, the strict rules also mean that some people fall through the cracks.

For example, anyone selling their government subsidized house is not allowed to rent one within 30 months. That policy has had unexpected repercussions for divorcees, as Laura Kyle reports.

Singapore hard hit by the global financial crisis !!!

Singapore's economy is shrinking at a faster pace than at any time in its recent history. Trade dominates Singapore's economy and it is heavily dependent on exports to western consumers.
Singapore is also one of the places particularly hard hit by the global job crisis.
Despite an average growth rate of nearly 8 per cent between 2004 and 2007, Singapore was the first East Asian country to fall into a recession from the current global economic crisis after July 2008.This year the GDP is expected to shrink by 10% amid decline in Exports to the western markets and especially the American market also hit by the recession . This clearly reflects the big vulnerability of the Singaporean economy to global economic and financial shocks.
Although the exposure of Singapore’s banks to sub-prime mortgage is limited, due to its well regulated market. The recession came mainly through the fall of the non-oil exports in manufactured goods, induced by the overall deterioration of economic conditions and the decline in consumption the American and European markets.

"Asia is the future , America is the past Europe is the past , the 21st century belongs to Asia " he added "China Japan South Korea Taiwan Singapore ...that's where the money is now , all the creditors nation in the world are now in Asia that was not the case 40 years ago when Mao Tse Tong was still ruling China Nehru was ruining India western and eastern Pakistan had a horrible split , Viet nam a terrible war ...etc..things have dramatically changed in the passt 40 years "

China Stocks Bubble Ready to Burst

May 5 (Bloomberg) -- China is at risk of a stock market “bubble” that may burst as investor confidence in the nation’s economic recovery weakens and bank lending slows, according to China Galaxy Securities Co., the nation’s largest brokerage.

The Shanghai Composite Index has surged 50 percent since last year’s low on Nov. 4 amid signs the government’s stimulus measures are reviving the world’s third-largest economy. The gains have driven valuations on the index to 27.2 times earnings, the highest in a year and Asia’s third most expensive. These levels are “signs of a bubble,” Galaxy Securities strategists led by Teng Tai wrote in a report.

“China’s economy has bottomed but the recovery may be weaker than forecast,” the analysts said today. “Bank lending will have to slow down. This will cap the growth in money supply and affect the supply of funds for the stock market.”

China’s investors flocked to equities this year on optimism 4 trillion yuan ($585 billion) of government spending, five interest-rate cuts since September and a record 4.58 trillion yuan of new bank lending in the first quarter would cushion the economy from the global recession and bolster corporate earnings.

At the peak, investors opened more than 480,000 new share trading accounts in the week to Feb. 20, the fastest pace in 13 months and double the average in the past year. That figure dropped to 338,719 in the week to April 24, the most recent data.

‘Be Defensive’

“Investors should be defensive and cut equities exposure,” the Galaxy Securities analysts wrote, saying the market is likely to undergo a “N-shaped” trend.
