Singapore schools take strict steps against obesity
Singapore has the most efficient and the most innovative
government in the world. Details: __________________________________________________ __________ "The top personal and corporate income tax rate is 22% and the government plans to cut both tax rates to 20% by 2005. All cars and motorcycles in Singapore must be equipped with a special transmitter, which beams information to authorities on the location of the vehicle. Possession of a national ID card equipped with digital thumbprints is mandatory. By 2008, Singapore plans a transition to the world’s first entirely cashless society, where coins and bills are replaced entirely by electronic money transactions, all instantly linked to government databases. These innovations have undoubtedly lowered crime and made Singapore a cleaner and more efficient society. This is undoubtedly an attraction for some, but not for those individuals looking for a haven that, above all, respects civil liberties." source: http://www.escapeartist.com/efam/53/...nvestment.html __________________________________________________ __________ Singapore has the lowest infant mortality rate in the world.
