Just like in any country, there aren't many investments that guarantee your principal as well as returns in Singapore but of those that do, you should be very careful of scams. One other thing to understand is that when you get to enjoy such safety in your investments and visibility in your cashflows, you need to be prepared to accept a rate of return that is close to the risk-free rate. Your first bet is to invest on Singapore Government Treasury bills and/or Singapore Government Bonds. You can also try investing on saving plans or fixed deposits but the returns are low. If you want higher returns then you really need to invest on high risk investments.

Those with an annual income of less than S$20,000 may borrow up to S$3,000 from all moneylenders combined and those who earn more thanS $20,000 a year may borrow up to six times their monthly income from all moneylenders combined. Meanwhile, for foreigners residing in Singapore, a lower aggregate loan cap of S$1,500 will be imposed on those who earn less than S$10,000 annually. Foreigners who earn between $10,000 and $20,000 a year can borrow up to $3,000, and those who earn at least $20,000 can borrow six times their monthly income.

The worker will be repatriated and prohibited from further employment in Singapore.

Mate I don’t think you need not worry about how it will benefit you just as long as that trading business of yours is still working but I don’t think It would be still ideal to keep holding onto it since it doesn't have its benefits, you will mainly have to liquidate your business if you choose to give up on that business, Cheers!
