(ii) in any other case, for any year of assessment beginning on or after 1 January 1988.

(2)    
Where any provision of the Agreement that is affected by this Protocol would have afforded any greater relief from tax than is afforded by the amendments made by this Protocol, that provision shall continue to have effect:


(a) in Singapore, for any year of assessment beginning before the date on which this Protocol enters into force;


(b) in Australia:


(i) in the case of paragraph (2) of Article 18 of the Agreement, only in respect of dividends paid before 12 March 1988;
