Over the past two decades, sustained government investment in R&D - lately with a 25 billion SGD investment in research, innovation, and enterprise under REI2025 and pro-business incentives have catapulted Singapore's economy into the third most competitive in the world, according to the IMD World Competitive Ranking 2022, and has cemented it as the best place to do business for the past 15 years, according to the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU). According to the World Bank, it takes just 15 minutes to register a company online and only one and a half days to set up a business in Singapore - 17 times faster than the regional average resulting in a dynamic, fast-moving ecosystem of start-ups, often working in synergy with the many multinationals and leading Fortune 500 companies headquartered in the city.

Paris Hilton & Nicole Richie
PARIS HILTON AND NICOLE RICHIE ARE READY TO BRING A LITTLE “SANASA” to the world with Peacock's Paris & Nicole: The Encore, their first project together since their reality show The Simple Life ended in 2007. What's “sanasa”? It's a song and phrase the longtime friends created as kids and popularized on The Simple Life. The show, a cultural phenomenon in the early days of reality TV, followed them over a series of blue-collar jobs. Now they're bringing it back as an opera. “I know this is just going to make people laugh, have fun, be nostalgic and just celebrate our friendship,” Hilton said. While Richie acknowledged “you can't do Simple Life again,” she said now “felt like the right time.” The famous pair also revisit some old jobs in Arkansas, like fast-food chain Sonic, where they now have drinks named for them. “I think that there is a part of our friend- ship that the show ended up showing that people connect to,” Richie said. As for this new special, Hilton is glad to do something positive for their fans. “It's been such a crazy past couple years, and I just feel like the world needs more joy.”
