by any measure (for example wealth, health, social security, safety, housing, jobs) Singapore is outranking most of Europe, including Portugal.
- sensanaty 4y agoI'll take literally any country in Europe, the Balkans (where I'm from, a tiny poor shithole for lack of a better word) included over S'pore any day of the week. I lived there for a while, and I could go the rest of my life without ever even thinking of stepping foot into that depressing hole of a country again. These cute stats people like to throw around are nice and all in theory, but actually living there is a whole other story. Maybe things have changed in the last 7 years since I last lived there, but I very much doubt it.
- allarm 4y agoThings have only gotten worse. I left the island after more than 6 years there, moved to EU and couldn’t be happier. The stats vs the real life statement totally makes sense.
