A number of interesting articles on Singapore and tax, and in all three of our English-language papers too!

( Business Times - Singapore looking at OECD standard to tackle tax evasion )( Today - Why Singapore is no tax haven )


( Straits Times - Low comapny taxes but Singapore not a tax haven )

I actually missed this article on the Business Times - luckily some kind soul posted it on the Singapore Heritage mailing list, so I managed to read it tonight. Posted below for your reading pleasure too.

I don't blame Singaporeans for not knowing who Dr. Goh Keng Swee is - it is so rare to hear of our pioneer politicans and leaders in the press nowadays (other than Lee Kuan Yew of course), that is it any surprise that we don't know who they are anymore? I myself only learnt of Dr. Goh when he wrote a few books on economic development back in the days when I was in secondary school, and the newspapers spoke about how he is the genius behind our miraculous economic development (those were the days before the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis). But to actually think that China had only one emperor in its history - seriously ... sigh.
