SINGAPORE: Singapore has come out tops in Asia for having the
highest quality of living, according to an annual survey by
consulting firm Mercer.
The study was based on a number of factors including the
political and social environment, medical and health
considerations, public services and transportation, and
housing.
Globally, Singapore is ranked 32, after climbing two spots from
last year.
In Asia, Tokyo, Yokohama, Kobe and Osaka are ranked just behind
Singapore.
Overall, European cities dominate the top global rankings.
Zurich scores the highest for overall quality of living, retaining
its number one position from 2007.
Luxembourg is tops for personal safety. At the bottom end of the
scale is Baghdad, which has the lowest ranking for quality of
living and personal safety. - CNA/ir
The statistic is compiled by Mercer. But the only people who really
knows best about the quality of living in singpaore is the people
themselves.
Would it be impossible that another ranking organization rank it
differently?
Who dares say this is impossible?
And what are the criterias used, exactly?
