Receiving dividends always brings a smile to my face.
This flow of passive income not only represents a tangible return on your investment, but also goes straight into your bank account.
Fortunately, for income investors, the Singapore stock market offers a wide variety of dividend-paying stocks to choose from.
Here are five that are paying out dividends come August.
