			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The monthly average income of an individual in Singapore is about $4,000 in 2010. In 2008, the average income was about $3,977 per person. In 2009, the average income per person was about $3,872. Assuming that both spouses are working in a certain household, the average income would be an estimated $8,000 per household. The expected maximum property price that a household or a couple could afford is about $1.082m. This would mean that the average household in Singapore could afford a property worth $1.35m. However, like most loan accounts or borrowings, there is the problem on raising a part of the equity that would serve as down payment. The best strategy is to find the lowest interest rate among the aggressive Singapore banks offering this kind of services.</p>
<p>The interest rate setting among conservative banks in Singapore is normally at the level of 3.75%. This reduces the loan borrowings to about $863,000 loan size. The computation of the income and the interest rates data for loan borrowings would certainly reflect that the average family in Singapore could only afford a property worth $1.08m. Rich businessmen and ministers contributed to the increase of the average salaries. This trend results to a wide gap between the highest and lowest salaries, which made the mean salaries of the population a bit lower. In 2009, the average family income was $4,850 as reported by the Singstat. If the median incomes were sorted by type of property, the result would be a household income of $12,500 for private flats, condominiums, and private houses. The result gives us an idea on the existence of considerable income disparity within Singapore. Most private condominium owners have a household income of approximately $12,500. If we lower the prices for private condominium to the average household income of the Singapore population, which is $8,000, this would produce a different real estate scenario.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Setting up a Singapore offshore company does not convey the image of a tax haven. As such, opening bank accounts in other countries becomes easy. International banks are fully aware that an offshore company set up in Singapore is completely legal and subject to strict government regulations and laws. Even though Singapore is not seen a tax haven, setting up an this type of company in Singapore does offer considerable tax benefits. Global profits of corporate companies can be transferred to Singapore without difficulty and tax benefits can be enjoyed. Singapore is considered as one of the best offshore service jurisdictions. Registering a company in Singapore is strengthened by the exceptional infrastructure in current technology, very good political stability and governmental support, and extraordinary legal environment with full intellectual property rights. The major legislations that govern corporate entities registered in Singapore are The Companies Act and The Income Tax Act. Hence, the registration of a Singapore offshore company is not a complicated or cumbersome process.</p>
<p>The company can register itself as a resident company or a non-resident company. It can also register as a foreign branch operation or simply as having a representative office. The government does not normally impose any restrictions on financial transactions and funds transfer of Singapore offshore companies However, business entities that are related to financial services, media, education and other sensitive business operations that can have an impact on the politics and image of the island are carefully monitored and their business transactions are periodically scrutinised.</p>
<p>A Singapore offshore company enjoys all the powers as a natural resident or a local company. Since English is the main official language, the various legislations and the regulations are easily available in English. The corporate documents can also be submitted in English and will be accepted as such by all the related governmental authorities. This facilitates an easier registration process for the Singapore offshore company. The corporate tax rate on income sourced in Singapore is 17% from the assessment year of 2010. Still, the effective tax rate will be significantly lesser for business entities that are qualified to avail tax incentives. Based on these incentives, the effective tax rate can vary between 15% and 0%. Dividends sourced from other foreign countries, profits of foreign branches and service income sourced from other countries are exempted from tax in Singapore.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the new Singapore Integrated Resort coming up, hot property condo developments are coming up all over the island to tie in with the expected completion of Resorts Island Casino. Siglap V was one of the largest launches in the EAST side of Singapore. Its phase 1 units were sold out and phase 2 bookings begins after Chinese new year. There are also many smaller scale condo launches in the east. These condos have about 50 or so units and they do not have the condo facilities. This may be good for those that don&#8217;t really need a swimming pool, gym, security guards. This can be a savings of ave $500 a month in terms of maintenance fees.</p>
<p>The good thing about buying property in the EAST is that its located in an expat area of Singapore where you can get good rental yield. It&#8217;s also close to the seaside and you can expect good ocean breezes in the evenings. Areas around Newton Circus, then just slightly farther away, at Novena have many new up and coming condos that cater to the expat crowd. If you want a unit close to town and can afford the prices required, then a property at Newton Circus may be suitable for you.</p>
<p>River Valley is prime real estate and it sits just off Orchard Road. If you&#8217;re looking to stay here, the units are generally smaller. If you want city location, and are comfortable with smaller units, then giving up room space for a fair pricing based on location is what you can find from condos such as River Valley Edge. Real estate in this area is heating up because of its location near the expat area Holland Village. With the New Circle MRT, many good properties are being built in this area. One premium project is the Holland Collection worth your attention if cluster houses are your interest.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chiropractic treatment is a health care profession that specialises in the treatment and diagnosis that treats disorders within the joints, the spine and variances in the bodies functions especially in the nervous system. All of this falls under the umbrella of the musculoskeletal system within the human body. Treatment normally ranges from engineered and sculptured treatments and physical therapy that includes spinal manipulation, joint manipulation and certain forms of pressure induced and focused massage therapy to promote healing. Whether or not medication like painkillers would be introduced within the course of the treatment is entirely up to the chiropractic doctor itself; as injuries that includes spinal injuries can be especially painful.</p>
<p>If you are in Singapore and need some chiropractic treatment, your choices are varied and you have the option of choosing among many consultants, and senior experienced consultants all over Singapore. In fact, there is a dedicated Chiropractic Association in Singapore with its very own website – founded in 1988 by three pioneering chiropractic doctors. It is a nexus, a hub where some of the very best in chiropractic treatment register themselves. It also acts as a recognising and regulatory body, where the participating doctors are constantly updated with new and modern treatments, classes which introduce new disciplines within chiropractic treatments and constant tests and re-assessments that ensure that the doctors are competent and remain relevant to the industry.</p>
<p>Their professional register lists almost 200 known chiropractic doctors within the city limits, all operating from different locations. Some have their own clinics and some operate in hospitals. Hospitals, whether private or public also have their own chiropractic departments, or departments that specialise in the joints, nervous systems and spine. An easy place to start if you don’t want to run through lists are hospitals. Singapore is an advanced medical hub in the region of Asia Pacific and houses some of the best medical practitioners in the world today. Locally based exams and assessment tools for the medical industry are world class so you will be getting the best possible treatment in an environment that is assured and safe. Finding a doctor that is right for you also depends on aspects like price, location and the personality of the doctor.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Singapore, land of the Merlion as often called, is known to have its genesis in the Sanskrit word, Singa meaning Lion and pura meaning City.<br />
If you are planning on moving to Singapore and are a bit concerned about the logistics of moving to a new country, this guide to moving and living in Singapore may prove useful.</p>
<p>One of the first factors that you will need to concern yourself when moving to Singapore is your visa. In Singapore, short term visas are issued at the time of immigration to visitors from most countries. It is necessary that you have a passport that will remain valid for at least six months after your arrival in Singapore; also, you should be able to show proof of adequate funds for your stay and a return ticket or an onward ticket from Singapore. If you are seeking a long-term visa, you will have to contact the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) in Singapore.</p>
<p>After you have secured your travelling papers, it will be necessary to move your possessions to the region. There are plenty of international relocation services providers in Singapore who will be able to help you transport your furniture and personal items.</p>
<p>If you have moved to Singapore along with your family, you will be able to choose from a variety of international schools for your children to attend. Visitors will be glad to know that the quality of healthcare is very good in Singapore and there are many reputed hospitals such as the KK Women&#8217;s and Children&#8217;s Hospital, the Singapore General Hospital and the National University Hospital in the region.</p>
<p>If you plan on driving your own vehicle in Singapore you will need an International Driving Permit; it may also be necessary for you to apply for a Singapore driving license if you are planning on staying there permanently. When in Singapore, remember to drive on the left side of the road. If you are planning on using Singapore&#8217;s public transport services, the MRT system in Singapore is an economical and efficient alternative to driving your own car.</p>
<p>Before moving Singapore, it is advisable to read as much as you can about the country&#8217;s culture, customs, traditions and way of life. A basic understanding of some of the languages that are spoken in Singapore would also help you fit in. Visitors will find that the more they know about moving to and living in Singapore, the better prepared they will be for the experience.</p>
