Please do share. I am nonplussed as to why someone (on HN, the bastion of entrepreneurial culture, nonetheless!) would have problems with a societal framework that is #1 for doing business.
- crdoconnor 12y agoMainly because being #1 for "doing business" often comes at the expense of customers and employees. Low regulatory protection means stuff like this is deemed acceptable - http://www.tnp.sg/news/sim-lim-squares-phone-scam-makes-headlines-internationally http://www.tnp.sg/news/sim-lim-squares-phone-scam-makes-head... It also means that stuff like this, which is regarded as a basic right in other countries, is deem jailworthy - https://sg.news.yahoo.com/singapore-bus-driver-strike-makes-world-news-104247497.html https://sg.news.yahoo.com/singapore-bus-driver-strike-makes-... This is what it really means to be top of that list.
