There are local brands that have expanded overseas such as
SingTel and Robinsons. Other local brands such as Gongcha have
not expanded overseas mainly due to its age in the economy. The
MBS has to depend more on services in order to open up to the
world and improve tourism and provide jobs. These help ensure the
economic prosperity of Singapore.

shops in the MBS.
