I guess it's pretty closed to Europeans?
Do you find successful entrepeneurs around or is it a case of having to go over with a multi-national?
I know Les is in the Oil and Gas type of business,just wondering about the rest of you?

Speaking from little experience of Singapore, I'd say it's a lot more open to Europeans than either Thailand or Malaysia. The latter seems to get worse by the day. Yesterdays paper carried an article that it was being proposed to up the subsidies on fuel for Malaysians, but charge full price to foreigners.
I'm with a multinational in the rail industry and as stated in an earlier post I was amazed how simple and quick the Employment Pass process was. I also believe they do a specific permit for entrepeneurs. The various Singapore gov websites are helpful.
