“Raffles was the one who started the whole thing and say this was going to be a free trade place and this free trade principle has never been touched in the last 150 years. Therefore Singapore really if you look at all those international indicators, Singapore scores extremely well; very little regulation; a foreigner can create a company; multinational companies can come in, no problem. It’s all very easy. The hair in the soup; big hair this time, we’re talking about government enterprises and investments. Here Singapore only scores 7 in the Frasier Institute report. The score of 7 meant when the government invests between 20 and 25 percent in total investments.”
