That may explain why so many Singaporeans own pro camera gear.

It looks like they copied the concept from a 2012 Forbes feature. It was 'repackaged' poorly cos I would like to know how GDP per capita/PPP translates to "Average annual income per person"?? Basic knowledge fail? What it does translate to is a clickbait headline I suppose, haha!

It's GDP per capita, not average income. Totally different things leh.

To me, it's as useful as saying SingTel's average annual income per staff is $750,000 (total revenue divided by number of staff).

You are among the lucky few who work for SingTel?

Sometimes it is good to feel great that you are rubbing shoulders with the world's 3rd richest nation's people. Then when you wake up from your dream, you realise 'Rolaxes, Leicas, Hermes and Louis Vitton handbags and an Audi in your garage' not there as promised by Sion.

Maybe we have just too many FT that we cannot differentiate the world 3rd richest group from the real citizens.

By your example there are many MPs having Kate Spade handbags?

 

[DSolZ]

The number is based on gdp per capita most prob... Which is not a gauge of salary.

Will SG exit ASEAN? hehe

 

[UncleFai]

Will SG exit ASEAN? hehe

Can't. Abang will cut our water and air supply.

 

[Sion]

Will SG exit ASEAN? hehe

Why not?

It's better we join EEC.

At least the air is cleaner there.
