This course may not be available to international students. Please see the list of distance courses (i.e. online and taken outside Australia) that are offered to international students
This is a new course for students commencing their Bachelor of Business and Bachelor of Laws in 2015 Students who enrolled in the Bachelor of Business and Bachelor of Laws before 2013 should refer to course 63H. Students who commenced their Bachelor of Business and Bachelor of Laws in 2013 or 2014 should refer to course 63O
This on-campus 5-year full-time course is offered by the Faculty of Business and the Faculty of Law and is available at Hobart. The first year only is also offered at the Launceston and Cradle Coast campus. This course may be studied part-time.
The objectives of the combined degree courses are those of the component degrees. Reference should be made to the Bachelor of Business and Bachelor of Laws course entries.
The Bachelor of Laws course is the basic academic preparation for persons who wish to enter the legal profession and other careers involving legal work. The course also has wider applicability in developing the attributes and skills inherent in a general university education. Students develop the values and intellectual abilities necessary to marshal facts and to critically assess and evaluate information, theories and doctrines thus preparing themselves for a variety of career roles.
Graduates of combined degrees could expect to find open to them all the career paths that are open to graduates of the component degree courses.
A law degree is a prerequisite to admission as a legal practitioner. Today, however, employers from a widening range of disciplines value the skills that law graduates possess. A range of career choices lie open to law graduates as a solicitor, barrister, industry legal officer or ministerial adviser, as well as in legal aid, community legal centres, the Attorney-General's department, law reform commissions, consumer affairs, environment, foreign affairs, police, legal drafting, politics, banking, finance, journalism, publishing and teaching.
The Law component meets the requirements of the accrediting body, the Tasmanian Board of Legal Education. After graduating from the University, a law student wishing to practise in Tasmania is required to undertake a 6 month Legal Practice course. Under the mutual recognition scheme, after gaining admission and obtaining a practising certificate in Tasmania lawyers can practise in another state of Australia without having to obtain a practising certificate in the latter jurisdiction.
International students should address such enquiries to the relevant authority in their home country.
Bachelor of Business component of the combined degree:
BFA141 Commercial Transactions: (Students intending to do a combined Bachelor of Business and Bachelor of Laws should not enrol in this unit. For further details please contact the Faculty Officers in the Tasmanian School of Business and Economics Academic Administration Office. This unit is replaced by LAW121 or LAW122.)

"Shut up! You don't know what you're talking about!" he said out loud, barely noticing he'd just spoken to a coin, or a whisper, or something he knew nobody else could see or hear. He looked at the open door to the dark green public bathroom and considered for a moment ducking inside and leaving it open, but still maintained the presence of mind to avoid such an action, knowing the cops tended to check these bathrooms often because a lot of the street people had a tendency to try and use the toilets without depositing any coins to make the door shut.
Something cold grazed his fingertip. Spoon? No, already in my pocket. He traced its edge – ridged. That's it! He grasped the quarter in his fist, scurried into the bathroom, combined the coin with another in his hand and inserted them into the slot on the bathroom wall. A whirring sound accompanied the closing of the small building's sliding door, a light flickered on, and a clock on the wall began to count down from fifteen minutes.
Simultaneously yanking a spoon from his pocket while sitting on the edge of the toilet seat, he couldn't shake off the feeling that the whole environment was terribly familiar, and then there was the sensation that, despite the safety of a sealed door, people – those people out on the street, and even the people elsewhere, far away, and not so far – people who's names he knew and people he'd never even seen before – they all somehow knew what he was up to.
Drew cursed as a rock of heroine fell from his pocket, landing on the floor beside the toilet. Of all the places to drop… He tried to hold down his revulsion at the fact he was about to deposit something in his body that he was now fishing off a floor that got pissed on all day. Least it's still early. Maybe it's clean. He deposited the rock onto his spoon, flicked a lighter and tried to lose himself in the flame as it liquefied white, crystalline comfort. Still there was the feeling that people knew what he was doing with the spoon and flame, and he didn't know why that should matter since most everyone he knew could care less.
White crystal was now white liquid, and he grabbed a syringe from his bag – he always knew where those were – and began to fill it. He glanced at the clock, counting down from twelve minutes now; the red digital numbers appeared condemning with their incessant drive toward zero.
He could have sworn, just before closing his eyelids and lying his head back against the toilet, that he saw a face…peering through the door, right there from the street with its painfully familiar, dejected expression and biting lower lip. Drew didn't worry. The face would be gone soon – back to the depths where it belonged.
And the door was opening.
A most compelling on the edge of one's seat read. I enjoyed!

United Airlines Accused Of Mistreating Sick 94-Year-Old
Sheena Vasani
One California woman called United Airlines "inhumane," saying it discriminated against her 94-year-old grandmother, who has degenerative bone disease and severe arthritis.
In a March 1, 2017 Facebook post, Marianne Santos Aguilar explains her grandmother, Paz Orquiza, 94, was returning home to Australia in February from a family reunion in Los Angeles.
Orquiza's grandchildren purchased the elderly woman a $3,600 business class ticket so she could travel comfortably.
While they say the flight to Los Angeles went according to plan, the flight back was anything but easy.
Aguilar's aunt, Rose Benedicto, was traveling with Orquiza, but on a economy class ticket. She planned to help with various tasks, such as feeding her mother and adjusting the seat for her.
When they boarded the flight, United Airlines staff refused to allow Benedicto to help her elderly mother in business class.
"Without any sympathy or compassion, Shauna [the Business Class flight attendant] said my grandma's only options were to 1) move to Economy with my aunt or 2) take another flight and purchase another Business Class ticket for my aunt," Aguilar writes, adding they violated the Air Carrier Access Act by discriminating against her grandmother based on disability.
As a result, Orquiza had to move to economy and reportedly spent a 16-hour flight upset and in pain.
"Feeling like she had no choice, my grandma moved to Economy and spent the next 16 hours in distress and pain," explains Aguilar. "My aunt tried to comfort my grandmother, who was in tears, and was horrified to see how much pain she had to endure during this flight."
Even after getting off the flight, Orquiza continued to suffer.
"My grandma's legs had swollen, she suffered from a stiff neck and her whole body ached," Aguilar said, later adding it took a week for her grandmother to recover and that she was prescribed Valium to help her sleep.
Aguilar says her family was "heartbroken" when they found out what happened to their grandmother, adding it "ruined" their family reunion.
Adding insult to injury, Aguilar says United Airlines continued acting without "humanity and compassion" in response.
"United claimed their crew's recollection differed (shocking!) and that disability regulations were not broken," writes Aguilar. "They gave my grandma $500 travel certificates which we do not plan to use and are in the process of refunding us $860 even though the original ticket cost $3,600."
As of April 10, Aguilar says the airline has yet to provide a refund despite the fact "it has been over 2 months."
"United is a pathetic excuse for an airline," she wrote. "We can take them down. BOYCOTT UNITED!"

New pediatric dentistry office offering painless visits for kids
Daydreams offers safe, affordable dentistry

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Tooth decay is becoming an epidemic among our children.
"The typical child that comes in to us between 3 to 8, 9 years old and they could have anywhere from 3 to 20 cavities," said Dr. Darren Riopelle of Smile One who sees it first hand as a pediatric dentist. "It's a disease. If it's one tooth, it spreads to all the other teeth."
Riopelle says about 25% of children have dental decay before they even enter kindergarten. "It's not uncommon that the entire mouth needs to be restored." And most of the time that would happen in the hospital at a cost of about $10,000 until now.
Dr. Riopelle and a group of pediatric dentists and anesthesiologists created Daydreams a surgical pediatric dental service located in Grand Rapids where kids can have dental work done painlessly under general anesthesia in a safe environment.
"[The] Average case takes about an hour [or] hour and a half. We can go pretty fast because they're out and we've got trained pediadontists that can do this work. And after that they can go on to our post-op which takes about 15 to 20 minutes and then we bring the parent in and we take them back out," explains Riopelle.
Daydreams can treat about 36 kids in a day. "We've made it very easy to get in here. Easy access and all of the treatment can get taken care of at once."
Riopelle says they've also made it affordable.
"Most of the children that we see are on the state program called Healthy Kids and there is actually no charge to them. We have figured out if we remove the barriers and get the work don't it really doesn't cost them anything out of pocket."
And for those with insurance that cost is about $500 dollars. "It's taking the level of care that needs to be given to these kids that no one else can deliver." Which Riopelle says helps to give kids a second chance at healthy mouth.

TV[R]EV Original, Analytics, #CREATEDWITH
How Many Influencers Does A Modern Marketing Campaign Need? A Lot.
If you think influencer marketing these days means doing a one-off deal with a single big name who commands a eight-figure following on YouTube or Twitter, think again. These days, the average campaign by a big brand involves a fleet of influencers, 726 for an average campaign by a Top 20 brand, according to a study by InfluencerDB.
It's an astonishing number, at least if you aren't tracking the latest trends in the burgeoning business of influencer marketing, projected to hit as much as $10 billion in spending by 2020, according to MediaKix. And it's definitely paying off for some companies using these tools in the right ways, and for the influencers who can deliver for them. The key, as the industry evolves, is making sure you're hiring the right influencers, not just the most influencers.
The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this month that a handful of influence live-streamers on Twitch were paid as much as $50,000 per hour to play new video games around the time of their release. Ninja, perhaps the best-known of the lot, brought in $1 million to play Electronic Arts' new team battle-royale title, Apex Legends.
That's a pricey but highly targeted influencer spend that arguably paid off; Apex Legends hit 50 million downloads just weeks after its February release, outpacing even the record set by Fortnite,its biggest competitor.
But finding the right influencers among the sea of voices out there is becoming increasingly important, and complicated, for companies diving into influencer marketing. As "digital anthropologist" Brian Solis, a long-time author and consultant in the space, said recently, the business is finally beginning to grow up and get more sophisticated in how it uses influencers.
"What happened with the dawn of early digital influence, you would find people who have a lot of followers, trend against certain hashtags, put product in their hands and go," Solis said at the recent Open Influence Summit. "The reality is that's no different than traditional advertising."
It can be easy to do what Solis calls "pay and spray" with dozens of influencers. But it's time that companies evolve their approach to what Solis calls "Influence 2.0," enlisting influencers who already are closely aligned with a brand's values and messages.
"You need to go looking for people who align with" your brand, Solis says. "What we live in today is too much noise, too much content. What people really need is help. (Influencer marketing done right) helps an influencer gain authority. The brand becomes benevolent. If there's reciprocity (in the value exchange between brand, influencer and followers), you become grateful in return."
A recent study of 2,500 influencers by Klear suggests that top-end "celebrity" personalities on average are paid $3,857 per YouTube video, and $721 per Instagram post. "Micro" influencers, those with between 5,000 and 30,000 followers, reap on average $908 per YouTube video and just $73 for an Instagram post, according to Klear.
So-called "nano influencers with less than 5,000 followers come at an even lower price, as little as $31 per Facebook post, $43 for Instagram, and $315 for a YouTube video, Klear said. That's not a big payday, for most influencers anyway, but it can provide some kind of income in a draining business that demands a frequent, regular online presence.
For those companies using these tactics at scale, influencer marketing can multiply impacts quite a bit.
InfluencerDB imputes a significant "media value" – what all those views, shares, likes, comments, click-throughs and the rest translate to in traditional media-buying terms – of more than $1.3 billion last year for the top five highest performing brands in its study.
Most of that media value, InfluencerDB says, accrued in the second half of 2018, perhaps a sign of accelerating brand interest in and embrace of the space.
The Big Five brands on InfluencerDB's list are an interesting mix of up-and-comers and established names in the $292 billion apparel business (ranked first to fifth in total media value, followed by "total likes in all posts mentioning the brand" last year:
Fashion Nova (1.94 billion total likes)
Gucci (1.02 billion)
LikeToKnow.It (795.7 million)
Zara (1.15 billion)
Nike (788 million)
Fashion Nova is a Los Angeles company specializing in fast fashion, quickly copying hot design styles and creating their own versions. Not surprisingly, the company's marketing efforts rely heavily on influencers, and use social media to both prospect for new styles and drive awareness of their offerings. Fashion Nova's 2018 numbers were no doubt boosted by a November collaboration with star rapper and digital native Cardi B, as well as its first-ever line of Halloween outfits.
Aside from its robust online presence, Fashion Nova also has five brick-and-mortar stores in Southern California. It specializes in "club-friendly" clothes catering to a wide range of body types, including plus-size, curvy and maternity styles. It also has a men's clothing line.
Similarly, LikeToKnow.It lives online, though it offers a broader array of products besides fashion, including beauty goods, housewares, furniture, and athletic wear. LTK features a blog with interviews of online notables (identified by their online handles), including @nordicSH and @peonylim. The site recently launched a podcast, and has a presence in both the United States and Europe.
Zara, the Spain-based fast-fashion retailer, and Gucci, which sits a couple of steps higher in the fashion world's hierarchy, have also been smart about the ways they work with influencers. Nike is, well, Nike. Its roster of athletes is as powerful as online influencers as they are as on-field playmakers.

Economists from Keynes (1936) to Minsky (1986) have recognized the fragility of markets and the impact of such fragility on the broader economy. In some contrast, academic finance has chosen to build a theoretical framework on an understanding of markets as efficient and in equilibrium. Such understanding has led to a theoretical framework that greatly overestimates the market's capacity for efficiency and self-correction.


Australia is endowed with abundant natural gas and coal resources. Coal seam gas (CSG) reserves in Queensland are considerable and significantly larger than conventional gas reserves. Over the past five years, investor interest in accessing these CSG resources resulted in three consortiums investing a combined $63.6 billion in wells, pipelines, liquefied natural gas (LNG) conversion facilities and LNG export facilities located on Curtis Island, near Gladstone, QLD. As these facilities have become operational since 2014-15, LNG export volumes have increased from approximately 25.0 million tonnes to 67.6 million tonnes in 2017-18, and are expected to grow to 77.0 million tonnes by 2021-22. The primary market for LNG exports is Japan, which has increasingly relied on LNG following the scaling down of nuclear power facilities after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster.
This staggering increase in LNG exports has heightened competition for gas supply in the domestic market. Household gas bills have begun to increase across the eastern seaboard. Australians are now competing with overseas economies for the supply of Australian-produced gas. Western Australia has been relatively immune to this problem. This has been due to regulation that imposes a minimum share of gas production in the state that must be allocated to the domestic market. By artificially preserving supply, domestic gas prices in Western Australia have remained low relative to those on the eastern seaboard.
Federal and state governments have identified different approaches to preventing further rises in household gas bills. The Federal Government has called on state governments to facilitate access to untapped CSG resources to increase supply and lower gas prices. However, controversy regarding CSG fracking has largely prevented this. Victoria currently bans all CSG extraction and New South Wales has imposed a ban on new CSG projects.
As a short-term solution, the Turnbull Government drafted an Australian Domestic Gas Security Mechanism (ADGSM) that came into effect in July 2017. This regulation allows the government to impose controls on LNG exports when the domestic gas supply has a shortfall. This regulation only applies to gas projects that are not net contributors to the domestic market. The Gladstone LNG plant, operated by Santos, is currently the only non-net contributor. The two other LNG gas exporters, Queensland Curtis LNG and Australia Pacific LNG, are safe from this regulation. The ADGSM has a lifespan of five years, as it is a temporary measure designed to put downward pressure on gas retail prices.
Rising gas prices are likely to benefit some industries and harm others. Many manufacturers are large consumers of energy, and rising energy prices can threaten the viability of firms across the manufacturing sector. Rising household gas bills have also negatively affected discretionary income, which fell in 2016-17 and is expected to fall further in 2017-18. This trend is likely to put downward pressure on retail industries' revenue.
However, some industries stand to benefit from rising gas prices. Petroleum exploration has been in significant decline since 2012-13, but an imminent need for new gas resources is anticipated to revive this industry. Rising gas prices are also likely to prompt the adoption of alternative energy sources. Solar panel installation is one area set to benefit from this trend.


Written by Brahma Kumari Pari, LL.B (Hons)(Lon), LL.M, Currently doing her Doctorate in Indian Legal History.
History, of the present mortal Mankind, begins from the beginning of the Mid-Confluence because that was when initiations were made for the new creation of the second half cycle. The Mid-Confluence Aged gods had picked the land, which later began to be referred to as Brahmavarta, as the place from where the new creation was to be administered from. Brahmavarta means 'the seat of Brahma'. Brahmavarta was in northern India. The Manusmriti[i] states that Brahmavarta was situated between Drishadvati River and Sarasvati River.
Just before destructive events were about to take place, at the beginning of the Mid-Confluence, the gods had decided to build huge city-like Vimanas. These Vimanas were to be created in Brahmavarta because they were too huge to be created within the existing premises. These Vimanas were meant to be the places where the Mid-Confluence Aged gods stayed in, during the destructive events. The civilization of the gods was to be within those huge Vimanas, when destructive events began to take place. Thus, creating those Vimanas was the same as creating new civilizations for the gods. These new civilizations were for the gods who lived in India and the whole world.
Since the civilizations of the gods were in the Vimanas, one would not find traces of these civilizations. One would only find traces of the Labour Class that was used to create these new civilizations. The people of this Labour Class were given primitive weapons since it was only the scientists who were using the machinery that had been made from the advanced sciences. These advanced machinery were kept away from the Labour Class and everyone else. So nothing would be found of these in the archeological finds.
For the creation of the Vimanas, the Labour Class had to chop wood which was taken and used by the scientists during the creation of the Vimanas. The Labour Class began living in various parts of India, so as to chop the relevant wood that was required. Thus, there were similar developments in the Labour Class all over India, where people had been using instruments like the axe for getting the wood chopped. During the recent past, some of these instruments have been found in many places in India.
The Palaeolithic Age (Old Stone Age), which was the first prehistoric time in human history, begins from the time when these people from the Labour Class began to use stone tools. It is being referred to as the Prehistoric Stone Age of Ancient India.
Stone Instruments were first introduced to these Labour Class people during the Lower Palaeolithic period. There were many people, in the Labour Class, who had been taught to chop wood for the new creation.
The beings, that had been created through genetic engineering experiments, were also allowed to roam around from the beginning of the Paleolithic. The scientists were observing them when they were taking the wood from the areas where the Labour Class were chopping down wood. I have begun an explanation on these genetic engineering experiments, in some of my earlier articles.
In the later parts to this series, I will be discussing the history of the remaining time in the Stone Age. I have divided Ancient Indian History into various parts because there is too much to be written.
The later phase of the Palaeolithic Age overlaps the Pleistocene Epoch. The Quarternary Period has 2 epochs: Pleistocene Epoch (Ice Age) and Holocene Epoch (a warmer/hotter time). The Pleistocene is the first epoch of the Quarternary Period. After the Pleistocene, the earth had gone into the Holocene Epoch which has extended until the present time. The end of the last Ice Age was also the end of the Pleistocene Epoch. The Ice Age began to exist during the Early or Lower Palaeothic but it was not that cold at that time. So the Labour Class had not been introduced to shelters at this time. They could live freely, anywhere they liked. It was only later, that they were introduced to shelters. Since it was getting colder, the people were introduced to living in caves during the Middle Palaeolithic period.
1. the first form of writing was picture writing.
2. there were people from the Sudra caste who had become sages/Brahmins in ancient India.
These people, during the Middle Palaeolithic, had been taught the art of using tools to draw etc on the cave walls. They drew during their free time and when it was too cold to leave the caves. Their drawings on the walls, and some of the tools which they had used, have been found in the recent past.
The Paleolithic Age had only come to an end when the Pleistocene (Ice Age) came to an end. Thus, it was cold during the Middle Palaeolithic and the later Upper Palaeolithic. This is why in the Vishnu Purana, it has been said that the climate changed and so the people had to live in shelters. I will be explaining the verses in the Vishnu Purana (Book 1, Chapter 6) in subsequent articles.
After the Aryan Labour Class revolted, the new Labour Class was given better facilities in the Indus Valley Civilization. Since the people in the Labour Class were working under the Vaisyas, the Vaisyas were in control over the people in the Indus Valley Civilizations. The priests, who were in the Indus Valley Civilisations, were involved with taking the sacrifices/offerings from the people and giving it to the gods. The priests were involved with making sure that the food (which was cooked and served to the gods), etc were clean, appropriate etc. The readers will have a better understanding of what I have briefly said here, as they keep reading the other parts in this series of articles.

The modern tram system in Barcelona forms part of the integrated transport network and largely services the parts of Barcelona where underground links are spread further apart.
You can purchase a single ticket for the tram network via the automated machines located at tram stops using cash or a credit/debit card.
It is important to remember that unlike the Metro and FGC trains machines, those located at tram stations do not accept bank notes, so you will need plenty of coins.
If you have a multi-use ticket such as the T-10 for example, you can use this on the Tram network.
Children under 4 travel free on Barcelona trams as well as on buses, metro and FGC Trains.
The tram service operates during the week on the majority of its routes from 05:00 to 00:00 and on Friday night and during the weekend services are mostly extended until 03:00.
A tram line is indicated on a Barcelona map by a 'T' and you should be looking out for a green colour.
The white and green trams in Barcelona are a great way to travel around the streets of the city and provide quick and easy access to some key areas.
Trams are available on a total of six routes. Three of them are part of the Trambaix line (T1, T2 and T3), which goes towards the north area of the city passing by the Olympic Village, while the other three form part of the line called Trambesòs (T4, T5 and T6) and will take you to the south area of the city to some towns on the outskirts.
Once you have purchased your ticket, you need to board the tram and validate it using the machines inside the carriages where your ticket will be debited for one journey.
At some Barcelona's tram stations there are automatic barriers where it will be necessary to validate your ticket before boarding the tram.
Barcelona trams are very well designed for limited mobility travellers. Wide automatic doors allow easy access for wheelchairs and mobility scooters. The tram entrance is at the same level as the tram station platform, with no gap between the train and the platform.
As well as having space for wheelchairs and mobility scooters, Barcelona trams also have sufficient space for bicycles, pushchairs and prams.
Check on the Tram map here below what tram stations stop in your area.

The large housing estate Neue Vahr in Bremen is an urban success model. Created at the beginning of the 1960s as the "City of the Future", based on designs by Ernst May among others, it is one of the largest post-war modernist housing estates in Germany. With the model process Neue Vahr, the housing association GEWOBA in cooperation with the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen has initiated an exemplary development process for the district. On the basis of a precise analysis of the existing buildings, the infrastructure and the green spaces, but also of the residents, an interdisciplinary team from architecture, city planning, traffic planning and landscape architecture, with the participation of external experts and residents, has developed future visions for the settlement. The aim was to preserve the district's qualities and at the same time strengthen community life in the Neue Vahr as a city of the 21st century, where affordable living in a healthy, green environment remains possible.


Singapore is often touted as the best place in Asia to set up your business, but what gives it the edge over Malaysia? Both countries share similar history, culture and are neighbours geographically. This guide will discuss the comparison between Singapore and Malaysia when it comes to setting up a business.
Incorporation and company registration for Private Limited company (Pte Ltd) or Sendirian Berhad (Sdn Bhd) in both countries is fairly simple. However, Malaysia has more onerous local resident requirements.
Singapore only requires 1 resident director and 1 shareholder. Malaysia requires Sendirian Berhad (Sdn Bhd) to have at least 2 resident directors and 2 shareholders.
In Singapore, a company can be 100% foreign-owned. In Malaysia 100% foreign ownership is generally allowed at the moment. However, certain industries such as telecommunications, financial services, and transportation require at least 30% local ownership.
Singapore has been known to have one of the lowest corporate taxes in the world, ranging between 0 to 17%. This is further equipped with extensive tax treaties with more than 50 countries which provide companies greater advantage over other countries.
Malaysia's corporate tax is higher – from 18% through to 24%.
100% of the first $100,000 of chargeable income is exempted for the first 3 years.
These exemptions are in flux over the next coming years – see the IRAS website for more details on the revised tax exemption structure.
Similarly, Malaysia's corporate tax rate starts at 18% for the first MYR 500,000 moves to 24% for companies with a paid-up capital of MYR 2.5 Million or less.
Tax benefits for startups in Malaysia? There is a Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) status given to qualifying tech companies to enjoy a 5+5 years of tax breaks. However at this moment, the governing agency MDEC is reviewing the eligibility and criteria of MSC.
Looking to get VC money? Many VC firms these days are based in Singapore or will only invest in companies with a Singapore entity. The relative stability of Singapore as well as the government's moves to create an ecosystem friendly to entrepreneurs is piquing the interests of VC funds. Map of the Money displays the breadth of active investors in Singapore (and can be helpful to entrepreneurs navigating the funding landscape).
In comparison, Malaysian government has just started to focus on the startup scene. The government has given support towards its venture capital arm, MAVCAP, as well as attracting some larger regional players such as Vickers Venture Partners. Although Malaysia has made great strides to improve its VC scene, it still lags behind Singapore due to size of funds available in Singapore.
Anyone intending of working in either Singapore and Malaysia must have a valid visa/pass before they can start working.
Business owners from overseas can also choose to apply for an EntrePass in Singapore, or Professional Visit Pass, Short-term Social Visit Pass or Temporary Employment Pass in Malaysia.
When starting a business in another country, you may face a language barrier. Singapore and Malaysia both have a high literacy rates and are educated. Most Singaporeans generally can speak more than one language, English being the main business language. In Malaysia, the business language is technically Bahasa Malaysia – however English is widely spoken and commonly used.
Malaysia being bigger in size, may have more opportunities but business owners might find it easier to converse with Singaporeans, with English being the main spoken language.
Malaysia is approximately 460 times bigger than Singapore, and naturally richer in terms of its raw natural resources such as natural gas, rubber, and palm oil. This may be beneficial if your business requires these natural resources, however comes with the trade-off of poorer infrastructure.
Corruption is a major concern for many entrepreneurs and investors in Southeast Asia. The Corruption Perceptions Index by Transparency International shows that Singapore had the highest score of all Asian countries at 84/100 (on par with Sweden), with Malaysia scoring 47/100 (on par with Cuba).
While both countries are similar in culture, location and language, Singapore provides several significant benefits to Malaysia when choosing a location for your regional expansion.
