About  Singapore  

paramount   importance   for   Multi-­‐National   Companies  (MNC)  to  gain  confidence  to  invest  in.  Through  the  years  after   independence,   the   nation   has   developed   its  economic   prowess   and   gains  much   respect   in   terms   of  international  standing.    Educational   quality   and   a   diverse   culture   has   always  been  Singapore’s  pride.  Singapore  witnessed  clashes  and  integrations  of  various  cultures  and  has  since  cultivated  a  unique  cultural  meting  pot.  While  continuing  to  act  as  the   regional   center,   embracing   the   diversity   while  maintaining   her   uniqueness,   Singapore   is   building   the  reputation  as  a  home  for  all.
