The aim for Singapore from when it was first established by Lee Kuan Yew was to become more like Hong Kong. At the time Hong Kong which was also a break away from the mainland of China was already on an upward slope towards its peak. Therefore, the Prime minister decided to take Hong Kong as a model for Singapore.
When it comes to similarities among the two countries, the fact that both are low-tax, wealthy states competing to attract white-collar professionals from all over the world is as far as it goes. When it comes to dissimilarities, Singapore is more controlled when it comes to certain practices while Hong Kong is a little easier going. Many a luxury boutique hotel in Singapore came up fast in Singapore, attracting many foreign residents with the availability of jobs. Also, with good hotels like Naumi Hotel Singapore tourism is on the rise as well. Will Singapore be able to catch up to its role model? That day sure seems very close.
