The dividends are the profits arising from the ownership of capital in a Singapore company which is usually divided into shares after all the taxes have been paid. Shareholders are usually entitled to dividend payments in Singapore. There are also cases in which companies go public and trade those shares on the capital markets in Singapore. In cases like this, individuals or companies other than the shareholders can invest by buying these dividend stocks which are listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange (SGX).
