That is actually a pool that spans the 3 buildings of the the Marina Bay Sands hotel and casino.if you google, it shows some amazing views. Singapore is home to the greatest concentration of millionaire households.

Wow. No way that would be legal in the USA. Kids - stay away from the edge.

It has been a while but I used to have marketing responsibility for all of Asia-Pacific, including Singapore. The city itself is wealthy (as in US standards of wealthy) but it is an exceedingly small market with just 5 million people and a youngish population relative to Western countries. It has not been part of Malaysia since 1967 (Singapore is predominantly ethnically Chinese while Malaysia is definitely not) so whatever happens in Singapore does not affect the Malaysian market directly. I suspect you are seeing patent applications there because a company can start a WIPO application in any country; in Singapore everyone speaks English and it may be cheaper than doing it in the US. Like most small countries, they used to accept either FDA or EMA approvals without much fuss; the city is relatively hassle free for business even if personal conduct is heavily regulated. I have been to over fifty countries in my career and Singapore ranks among my top five favorite cities in the world. If you ever get a chance to visit then definitely go there. It is kind of like walking around Disney World at times. Matt what you have mentioned is correct. I know one of my old nurse friend working in Changi General Hospital. She told that there are patients coming to Singapore from other countries for better treatment e.g. China, Hong Kong and Malaysia as Singapore provides world class medical facilities.

Hi MN, I am from Singapore and working in IT. I am not sure how I can help to find the information you are looking for. I have few friends here who are type 2. I explained them with whatever knowledge I have and they are eagerly awaiting for AFREZZA. Yash, does the Gov have their own drug approval organization or do they rely on the Drugs being approved by the FDA or EMA type organizations. KC as far as I know Singapore economy is highly dependent on US. I am not very sure but they rely on the FDA approved drugs.

KC as far as I know Singapore economy is highly dependent on US. I am not very sure but they rely on the FDA approved drugs. I suppose it depends on one's point of view. Whether you are considering imports or exports. "The top export destinations of Singapore are Hong Kong ($34.1B), China ($33.2B), Malaysia ($27.4B), Indonesia ($25.6B) and Other Asia ($14.5B). The top import origins are China ($44.3B), Malaysia ($37.1B), the United States ($27.9B), Other Asia ($27.5B) and South Korea ($24.3B)." atlas.media.mit.edu/en/profile/country/sgp/The US actually exports more to Singapore than Singapore does to the US. www.census.gov/foreign-trade/balance/c5590.html

That appears to be Marina Bay Sands, an integrated resort fronting Marina Bay in Singapore. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marina_Bay_Sands"In the 2016 movie Independence Day: Resurgence, the property is shown to be destroyed by alien spacecraft."

Singapore is vastly different to most other countries in Asia in that it's English speaking, highly regulated and commercialized, it's also where a number of US companies have their international operations based including Google and Microsoft.
