Companies like Osim, Creative, Akira,... might be Spore brands but you'll have to agree that it doesn't have the same brand recognition as a Samsung, Toyota, Sony,...
PAP has failed to develop & nurture Spore companies compared to Korea, Taiwan, Japan. A failure of a centrally planned & directed economy, something like the failure of communism![]()
It's kind of sad what the PAP has done to Spore & Sporeans. We have no culture, no economic security, not much of a future. Is it any wonder that those able are queuing to leave Spore![]()
Korea has it's Samsung, Hyundai, LG,...... Japan has its Sony, Toyota, Sanyo,....
Taiwan has its Acer, HTC, Kingston,....

These G owned companies have ability to borrow at sov rates. SIA has advantage that they need not do NS and fly unprofitable local routes. Many of these national airlines out there have to fly such routes. So a good comparison would be Cathay Pacific. Both CX abd SIA are strong competitors except that one has Gov's support while the other is privately owned.
DBS is a large bank but they overpaid for Dao Heng and got to buy the whole POSB for a couple of B which is like a subsidy. So with all this help (crutch mentality) bank is bound to be big player. You give me US$100B and I can put together a strong Asian player of a Bank.
Singtel - Again - huge legacy installed base (just think of the property they got from Gov) with close Gov support. LSY was last CEO. With $ they did make good moves into the regional Telco. But then If I had money I too could put together a strong regional telco business. After all money is what limits many. Why is Warren Buffet able to make these great deals - simple - he can come out with $US25B cash with little help from banks.
