brain drain

Singapore loses 1000 top talent yearly.

Exit
US <- American firms recruit bright Singaporean students stright out of universities.

China <- Some of these Singaporean talents head for China, but return eventually because, at the end of the day, they do not want to compete with the Chinese.

Others <- Singaporeans who do not want the stiff competition in the US go to Australia and Canada.

Entry
China -> The Chinese came to Singapore so that their children can learn both English and Chinese languages.

India -> The Indians like Singapore because it is close to home, yet a step up in terms of First World infrastructure.
