Reform combined flexibility with transparency

The overview connects inward redomiciliation to Singapore's business-hub role, while requiring beneficial ownership information from companies and LLPs unless exempt. It also points to corporate rescue and restructuring changes under the Ministry of Law's remit. The package therefore combines administrative simplification with stronger transparency rather than treating lower compliance cost as a removal of ownership-information duties.
