Not always. Just started to become rich only in the 1980s which from then to now is only around 3 decades only. It is not really worth boasting or highlighting this at all.

Singaporean is always one of the richest mind in the world, that's what make them here.

S'poreans can not change the size of our country but we definitely feel safe and fortunte to be living here when we compare it to other big countries with lots of problems economically & politically. I don't agree with the point about the poor living in an island prison. The poor people in S'pore are in fact very well taken care of by our govt and local charity organisations. If you think the average S'poreans who live in HDB flats are poor, then what can I say?

We have never able to imagine Singapore is a prison island. Since you have this thinking, you must be the poor😱! However, seriously, what is the possible scenario for a reasonably hardworking person be poor in Singapore? 🤔

There is poor and rich in every place. If you can't accept such a simple truth and need to turn personal and resort to insults at every turn and corner there is nothing more I can say to the die hard fanatics that is well known and infamous in Singapore.

If the viewers want get to the crux of any subject in life the only way you can do it is to skip over all the fluffs and retorts in any opinions and discussion threads you come across and just get to the simple fact of why whenever there is something being said about Singapore only good news are permitted while anything else is meet with fierce resistance and denial. What exactly are these people afraid most of in their lives. Their personal self interests. You or I don't need to engage more with these self absorbed individuals.

@@anglo-saxonconnor817 of course there are rich & poor in every place! The point here is, what is the possible scenario for a REASONABLY HARDWORKING, ie. NOT LAZY, person be poor in Singapore? 🤔
