We are so poor. Please distribute some to the needy. There are so many old people and handicapped on the street. Some homeless, some goes hungry for days selling tissue.

Why the rich getting rich? increment of 20% of their wealth annually. Yet the poor become poorer.

Why is it so unfair??? I hate this! I hate this!!! I HATE THIS!!!! Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad

i wonder does Sim Yong Woo lined up eagerly or pathetically to be the 40th richest, the last one in the league, or was it ST who publish the rankings as they think it is NEWS ?

Oh, the article is implying Singapore island is successful also, as other big cities in the world ?

Anyway, the rich can gets richer (e.g. enbloc sales), and the richest (land developers) can lay fishing lines, and reap the benefits many years later.

Meilin86 SG

I am really ANGRY, when people can rich through EN_BLOC sales. What the hell is this? I work day to night, just to earn only a few pennys. Not every one can EN BLOC, where can we stay as that is our only rooftop. The poor and middle will have to squeeze to DEATH.

It is very UNFAIR! SUPER UNFAIR!!!

WHat is the use of been successful?

Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad

what to do. either we chase away all foreigners, chase away all investment bankers, chase away indon and all rich men away from singapore. maybe until then we can live a peace of mind where everyone is equal.

maybe we can revert back to socialism.
