Why do immigrants like Singapore?

(1) The situation is stable and multi-national passports are visa-free.

The political situation in Singapore is relatively stable and predictable, and there is a "pro-business" business environment. What attracts investors and new workers most is Singapore's low tax rate. Singapore's passport is visa-free 175 countries and regions, ranking fifth in the world, and it is free to travel to and from many European and American countries and regions, providing more convenience for business or tourism.

(2) Low taxes are a paradise for the rich.

China's domestic income tax reaches 50%, while Singapore's personal income tax rate remains between 0-20%. Moreover, the China government levies taxes all over the world, and even the income earned abroad has to be declared, but Singapore does not. This is attractive to investors and business people who own more real estate.

The most important tax for Singapore enterprises is the profits tax, which is very low. For newly registered companies, the turnover in the first three years of registration is less than S $65,438+10,000, which is tax-free; 654.38+S $00-300,000 only needs 9%, and over 300,000 needs 654.38+07%. Moreover, the part not earned locally in Singapore does not need to be taxed.

(3) The government guarantees that everyone has a home.

The HDB system in Singapore started at 1960. At that time, the slogan put forward by Lee Kuan Yew's government was to realize "home ownership" for Singaporeans and ensure that every resident must have his own home.

Up to now, 85% of Singapore citizens have lived in "government apartments" built by the government, 93% of them own the property rights of their houses, and 7% of low-income families rent them cheaply from the government. In addition, 15% of high-income families bought high-grade commercial housing in the market.

(4) Preserve the mother tongue culture, and English and Chinese have the same status.

In order to ensure that Chinese Singaporeans still retain their mother tongue culture, the Singapore government has been promoting Chinese teaching in all schools. Chinese is a single language subject, and all Chinese Singaporeans need to learn Chinese. As far as Chinese is concerned, there are 1 1 special schools in Singapore, such as Deming Government Middle School, Huaqiao Middle School and Valley High School. With the consent of the government, both Chinese and English are taught as first languages. These schools are responsible for training cultural professionals who can speak Chinese, and also shoulder the mission of teaching China culture.

(5) Strict laws and excellent social atmosphere.

Singapore is a country with severe punishments and laws. In addition to the strict legal system (including the death penalty, life imprisonment and the flogging system still in use today), the most important factor is the long-term and continuous social education activities. Through this educational function, the Singapore government has gradually changed some bad behaviors and habits of people, and also formed a good social atmosphere of being polite and keeping order. According to statistics, the annual per capita number of judicial personnel in Singapore has reached more than 500, and such judicial efficiency is probably rare in the world.
