Singapore is the only Southeast Asian city on a ranking of centi-millionaires—and that could be good for its economy

Singapore ranks high among cities in terms of the cost of living—and it’s also very popular with rich people.
A report by Henley & Partners, using data from New World Wealth, released Tuesday ranked the city-state 6th in a list of top 50 cities for ‘centi-millionaires,’ a term used to describe individuals with liquid investable assets of $100 million or more. Henley & Partners says there are 29,350 of such individuals globally, and Singapore is home to 336 of them.
Henley & Partners—which offers investment management services for wealthy people, especially to help individuals gain permanent residence or citizenship—points out nearly two-thirds of the top 50 cities offer investment-migration programs.

Having a bigger pool of centi-millionaires could potentially be a good thing. The report, quoting New World Wealth’s head of research Andrew Amoils, said business started by centi-millionaires have “significant spillover effect on the middle-class” because of the creation of large numbers of well-paying jobs in their base country.
It added that most companies on the Fortune 500 or on major stock indexes were started by individuals who subsequently became centi-millionaires.
Singapore is the only Southeast Asian city on the list that’s dominated by American and Chinese cities.
A third of the world’s centi-millionaires live in the top 50 cities. New York City is currently the top home for those people with 744 resident centi-millionaires, followed by the Bay Area (675) and Los Angeles (496) super rich residents. In total, there are 15 American cities on the list

A senior citizen has been eating unfinished food left behind by diners at a hawker centre in Chinatown. He even looks at the tray return area for leftovers.
Mr Du, a 52-year-old hawker, told Shin Min Daily News that the elderly man was not the only one looking for leftovers to eat.
"They usually show up at 8-9pm to look for food. Sometimes kind-hearted customers see them and buy food from us to give to them," said Mr Du.
"Most of the people who look for leftovers are elderly."
Stall assistant Ma, 50, said the elderly man would promptly occupy a vacated seat and help himself to the leftovers.
The Chinese daily identified the senior citizen as Mr Wang, 84.

The Chinese daily identified the senior citizen as Mr Wang, 84.
He said he lives in Pasir Ris but would go to Chinatown because "it's very lively here, so I come here every morning and go home in the evening".
He admitted to eating strangers' leftovers but he explained that it was to prevent wastage and not because he could not afford his own food.
"Some people order a lot of food but cannot finish it. I've seen more than half of a whole fish left. I thought it was a waste, so I ate it. The food was still warm."
Co-founder Zheng Chunlin of anti-wastage movement Freegan advises against eating the leftovers.
He pointed out that since it is unclear how long the leftover food has been left, and whether it has been contaminated. Diners also at times throw tissue paper onto the plate or put back cutlery that had fallen onto the floor.
"If the diner is unwell, the virus can be passed on to those who eat the leftovers.”
