How Rich is Singapore

[@alux]

Hey Aluxers, would you move to another country to start a business? Make sure to join wwww.alux.com Best Countries to Get Rich: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmK8aXSHn5Wng9k&

[@hukamkant5692]

I think if you want to start a new business and if you have a good capital to invest in the business then you should think about that to move another country where policy is flexible and corporate tax rate is lower. If you don't have a much more money to invest in the business in this case you can start your business in your country.

[@islandparadise]

Chinese surnames are the first name. So it's Lee, not Yew. 🤦‍♂️

[@islandparadise]

Nor is it Kuan.

[@islandparadise]

Actually the employee contributes 20% of salary, while employer contributes an additional 17% on top of the salary to CPF.

[@islandparadise]

Actually Zhang Yong made a large share of his money in China, before he moved to Singapore. Guys pls do your homework and report more accurately in the future.

[@sfbluestar]

I've worked in SG for 6 years and now planning to head home to US. I feel fortunate that SG has been a part of my life.

[@yuming8845]

Hey, a Singaporean here. So, nice video. Even though yes there are equality gaps between rich locals and foreigners compare to the middle class and while cpf does take a big percentage away, it is not all bad for most people who just want normal lives. It really only really affect low-income earners. I would say another bright side is that safety is very good. Overall, while yes while the law is incredibly strict and often criticise on a global stage it does deter crimes.

So many errors in this video. 20% of the employee's salary goes to the CPF account. The remaining 17% is contributed by the employer. The richest man in Singapore Zhang Yong is worth $15.1 billion, not 1.8 billion.

[@chengwailiau7203]

Agreed; government subsidised apartments (should be referring to HDB) cost at least $1 million??? Didn't do proper research and not being fair in reporting (we do see a small number of $1 million HDB apartments in the resale market but those are rare). For an average 4-room BTO flat, you should be looking at $350K - $400K.

[@cooper1819]

Just to correct, Singapore is an expensive city especially for Expat lifestyles but still have its other side. Citizens can buy government housing (accounts for 85% of population) at around US$200k, have local meals at hawker center for US$2 and relatively cheap public transport, and even shopping. The key challenge for Singapore is constantly changing to survive as country and city. So living here has to work hard and constantly pick up new skills.... or be left behind.

It is not 37% of your salary that goes into the CPF. It's actually only 20% then your employer matches "upto" another 17% depending on your income bracket, the more you earn the less your employer matches.

This is a pretty good overview of how rich some people are in Singapore, especially the government of Singapore which decided that it needed to be paid extra well for doing such a good job. It frowns upon corruption and pockets the money for everyone to see - IN YOUR FACE. The average Singaporean comes nowhere close to the upper echelones, which is accurate in this presentation. Unfortunately, they're going along for the ride to be wowed by jewels and casinos just like the tourists, struggling to stay just average.

-.- This video is filled with misinformation, please kindly get it validated. For Example : No HDB sold by government are more than 1 million. There are HDB in resale market that were sold at 1 million and above but those are the exception. Public housing is still consider affordable but there is room for improvement. If you do not own a car, the cost of living is generally much lower. Most Singaporean don't own a car because public transport is very accessible. With the above all said..

Watching this one year after it was posted, and the mistakes are still glaring. Some basic research would have informed the proper way to reference "Lee Kuan Yew". Instead they seem to take the shotgun approach of calling him "Kuan" and "Yew", and "Lee" (in the subtitle, once). Yeah, with that approach, I am going to assume that even when correct, it was just luck. Also "Thomas Raffles". Not incorrect, but... And "Sanlosa"? Which leaves the rest of the "facts" suspect.
