Just looked up Microsoft Encarta. 1 quarter of the population living in Singapore are foreign talents.

that's right. Local company Trek 2000 first introduced the ThumbDrive in early 2000. The tiny product proves to be success and as the saying goes, the rest is history. their website can be found below.

What I think is they should employ a good legal department and start getting royalties from all around the world.
