The culture of Singapore companies is very bad. Compared that to those of Israel, where it is so much more liberal. In one of the ex-companies I worked in, the Israelis give their views freely, regardless of their rank. No one will put them down for giving a contrarian view, neither will grudge be taken for having a view that is different from your boss.

Look at Singapore companies. People tend to agree with their bosses and dare not voice out their opposition, for fear that they will face repercussion.

Er...you are saying you worked in Israel before?
Can confirm? I never know of Singaporeans going there let alone work there.

Taiwan and Isreal are vibrant democracies. Not sure if that goes into work culture.

In Singapore, control and obedience is the dominant culture. Its not that we lack talent but what happened to them once they enter this culture. 

It starts from the top...the way Singapore leaders treat the people like they are lesser intellectuals....it all starts from there this elitism permeates through the society...this authoritarianism is not the best way to bring gout the best jn people.
