Well done Singapore.
I feel so..oo so rich!
Just like dat above statement, d Wealth Report 2010 (why release only now arh when other lists by IMF, World Bank, CIA etc..for 2011 r oredi out) by Knight Frank (property) n Citibank (Wealth management) will be consigned to my rubbish bin.
It means diddly-squat to 85% of Sgreans.

Actually, I think there needs to be balanced response to this. Obviously, a per capita GDP figure is really such a rough tool, it only tells on part of the figure. It does not, for instance, describe income distribution, which is a real issue in Singapore. All the same, its better to be at $US 50,000 than say $US 10,000, at least we have the means and resources to tackle problems. So neither a jingoistic ‘we are the best’, or a howling derision ‘what a fake stat’ response is entirely appropriate. I’ll write a little bit more about this when I have time later.
