MohamedF SG

What’s this ranking based on…? and WTF!!! we below Somalia!!!?

missqi SG

Old news.

Rock^Star SG

Yes we all know it's old news. Laughing My point is in the last sentence.

pinkish purple papayas SG

WTF???!??!!?

Below Afganistan too ?? didnt they have laws like no woman suppose to participarte in sports or show themselves infront of camera?

they also 130th...they really pawn us man..146th...i turned on the SG news and i see "journalists" reporting invisible stuff like SG high employment, PM LHL's trip to china was a success... and all that pro-govt sh.it...

lets back our bags and head to afganistan man....at least they have better freedom of speech and media...

missqi SG

Old news too. Laughing

Rock^Star SG

Hey this pro-govt sh.it is extremely extremely helpful. Just imagine, a little healthy dosage everyday and by the next election, people would have been ingrained with "positive" news abt the govt and guess where the votes will go?

Press control is the key to a party's hold on power.

Rock^Star SG

Then fark off Laughing

SnowFlag SG

Old news is still news Mr. Green

Rock^Star SG

Agree. Some news have to be re-run to maintain the awareness. Besides, many know that S’pore is 146th but not many know this region of rankings are dominated by third world countries.

Hogzilla SG

No leh. I prefer to use the word I invent myself, olds.

miserable SG

Some people cannot take the brutal truth"

Now please, get out of my non elite but caring face ! Laughing

Meilin86 SG

Singapore, a country with many skyscrapers and no1 in everything are ranked among the 3rd world nation. Disappointed and Sad.

Rock^Star SG

Haha, that's a gd one. Laughing

Quincey SG

Yay! we should be proud of ourselves. Being above Russia – didn’t some journalists got murdered there some weeks ago because of her work?

dragg SG

this is one of the few rankings in the world that our govt dont want to advertise.

Mr. Green

charlize SG

Nonsense.

Our press is the best in the world.

Everyday reporting that we have record employment rates in Singapore. Laughing

pinkish purple papayas SG

1. Definately the best in the world man, i saw yesterday's news on Ch 8 TV, 1st breaking news of our record best employment rates.

2. Followed by todays Strait's Times header that screamed our record best employment rates

3. On the way to work, TV mobile in the buses also reported our record best employment rates

Any bets later in the afternoon news it will be reported?? Rolling Eyes

So i am really convinced that us Singaporeans have a good booming economy and everyone is happy. No such nonsense like MRT jumping man or elitist blogger.

Just shut up and pay your taxes.

countdracula SG

yes indeed, best employment blah blah...but what they left out was what are the employment opportunities....many of these are sub $1k jobs, which is basically pointless....you take into account the cpf contribution, ever increasing transport fares, meals and whatever you might as well not work at all...

i know of a lady who returned to work, so she placed her 2 children in child care..at the end of the month, she realised she's financially worse off...ironic isn't it?
