It is like any other country who has signed up for the OECD thing. This is a new geopolitical landscape. Nations who cannot play by the new rules, will be in danger of becoming obsolete. The choice is quite clear, we can either support the new financial market regulations (or even promote them).. or we will be blacklisted. Singapore is not any exceptional place.

What this amounts to is letting other countries make use of IRAS's powers. What do we get in return ? Zero. Bad enough SAF has become the American's water-carriers in Iraq. Now we're even going to have IRAS doing other countries' bidding as well This is f**king stupid. Since when is it Singapore’s business to do other countries dirty work ?
