The scarcity of land and resource is more than compensated by Singapore's ability to leverage human resource. Singapore cultivates talent - indigenous and international. Apart from actively developing local talent, it makes it increasingly attractive for international talent to make a home in the country. Compared to any other country in Asia, Singapore offers one of the most attractive environments for a foreigner. Almost everyone speaks English.
Prices are on par with any other major city in the world.
The transportation system is excellent . A truly meritocratic country, Singapore values diligence, efficiency, experience, qualifications and good performance. The innovation and creativity of human capital becomes increasingly critical as Singapore heads towards a knowledge-based economy. Singapore is, beyond dispute, one of Asia's most open economies. Five thousand international companies and eighty thousand local firms flourish here.
