Chapter 1 in The Singapore Blue Chips:The Rewards & Risks of Investing in Singapore's Largest Corporates, 2017, pp 1-6 from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: When we thought of writing a book about Singapore corporations, a journalist joked, “Are you writing about Singapore corporates?! You only have to cover MNCs, GLCs and PLCs — multinational companies, government linked companies and poor local companies.” The implication was that the corporate sector in Singapore comprised overseas companies that chose to make Singapore home because of its investor friendly climate, local companies that flourished because of government backing and a host of small and medium scale enterprises that barely survived.
