I don’t know man, it might be good for some Singapore Companies looking for RELATIVELY lower cost manufacturing base. But it sure isn’t gonna be that clear cut in where the benefits will flow.

For example, if a Singapore registered company is wholly based in Batam for it’s manufacturing and sales activities and thereby deriving it’s majority of revenue from the products it manufactures in Batam. Assuming the above, would the Republic Of Singapore gain by getting any tax revenue from Singapore registered companies who are more or less based elsewhere?

Of course, if all revenue generating activities are based in Singapore, well and good, if not, it might not be a so fantastic idea.

That’s very good. I just hope the government educate the public and future entrepreneur how to
go about taking advantages of these opportunity.

In the past, when there is opportunity setup by government, those information seem to available to either GLC ventures, or big companies. Very little is told to the public or little help is given to
local entrepreneur.
