Singapore is one of the most important economic and cultural centers of Southeast Asia and definitely one of the most prosperous. Team Expat (a website run by the Singaporean expat community) has compiled a list of reasons to be thankful for living in Singapore. The list comprises:
- Singapore Airlines is regularly voted one of the safest airlines in the world, and Changi Airport one of the best airports.
- Singapore has one of the best education systems in the world.
- Singaporean dishes are included in the ‘World’s 50 Most Delicious Foods (Readers’ Pick)’
- The highest paid citizens in the world live in Singapore.
- Singapore is one of the safest countries in the world.
- Singapore’s economy ranks second in the world.
To elaborate on the latter - Thanks to its education system and consistently high quality of life, Singapore managed to retain its position as the world’s second-most competitive economy in 2015 for the fifth year running. It’s only behind Switzerland in terms of technological adoption, business sophistication and innovation, and did especially well in terms of goods, labour and financial market efficiency, according to The Straits Times, quoting from the World Economic Forum (WEF).
