The Singapore Commentator

Excerpt from an article in the Sun-Sentinel:

S. Florida companies enjoy doing business with thriving Singapore
South Florida executive Rodrigo Vera travels at least twice a year to Singapore for his company that imports construction materials from Asia.

His business partners chose the small island nation as an Asian hub, lured by its sophistication, stability and strong banking and telecom systems.

Vera enjoys the ease of doing international business in the trade-oriented nation, which boasts Asia’s only free-trade accord with the United States and ample high-speed Internet access. And the tropical landscapes are beautiful, too.

“It’s like living in a garden,” said Vera, a principal in Delray Beach-based Southern Cross Building Products LLC. “The place is so manicured.”

The fact that you get the sun and sea without the hurricanes probably helps too.
