Sinkieland will be tops if the title is The Most Balless and Coward nation on Earth.. Proud?
 
When ppl are suffering and poor, how can country be considered prosperous?
 
These types of surveys are highly subjective and a lot depend on who they are surveying and how much weight they place on each segment.

If they surveyed expats, many would say that Singapore is a much better place to live than Sweden because of the year round access to golf, nice tropical climate and access to maids, top medical facilities, wide range of food, close access to tropical resorts like Bali (coming from a cold climate, Singapore would seem like a tropical paradise).

If they surveyed political leaders, North korea would come up tops since Kim junior has access to anything he wants and can stay in power indefinately.

If they surveyed the bottom 30% of the pop, many would weight clean water, food, basic medical and education for their children as important.

So it is highly subjective.

Hey! Do not fret over not being in the list, just be very glad that we have the unbeatable award for the highest concentration of porlumpars per sqkm and the highest paid fertiliser additives (SHIT!) ever and again the highest concentration per sqkm.
 
ok let me elaborate!

Economic fundamentals

Our economic fundamental is cheaper better faster little did they realized while persuing for cheaper by increasing FTs we have a severe drop in productivity levels! Not only that a competivity business environment does not translate to better wages for the workers.

Entrepreneurship and innovation

you think sgp is condusive for succesul business startups? How many global brands from Singapore? What has gone wrong?

Democratic institutions

why do we keep hearing of kangaroo courts and people keep arrested for speaking up in public? And that pesky election cheating act called GRCs?
And recently the dilution of local sentiments by introducing a new category called new citizens? All these are desperate attempts to stay in power at all social costs like fear of speaking up and disunite the country!

Education

can you tell me why children do not have a happy face when they go to school? Rising school fees!

Health

hospital beds not enough? Rising medical costs and long waiting times!!!

Safety & security

so many crimes reported last year body found people getting hacked and famous AMK incident buses get blown up etc...sgp is 'safe' because it is crowded nobody dares to commit a sinful act in public you dare to walk alone in the streets at night without the fear of being sodomize or rape go ahead!!!

Governance

this is a joke right? Where are our taxpayers billions?? Why no resignations?

Personal freedom

this you have to ask chee soon Juan!! He wrote a book about it!

Social capital

cronyism nepotism and collusions!!

Do you notice that Hong Kong is number 1 in the world for Economic Fundaments? Number 1. If Singapore is near to number 1, say number 3, ST will be splashing up in the headline.

All those multi-millionaire Singapore Mininsters and even MPs cannot even get near to Hong Kong.

Since it was occupied by British forces in 1841, Hong Kong has moved on a path separate to the rest of China. Even after the former colony was returned to the Chinese in 1997, it has been treated as a special administrative region with its own laws.
According to report creators Legatum, Hong Kong has the best economic fundamentals in the world, coupled with good health care, governance, safety and security. Fans of freedom will be let down though, with Hong Kong scoring poorly for personal freedom (67th in the world) and democratic institutions (60th).
