Singapores reserves stand at 120 US$ Billion
This is 200 Billion Singapore dollars or 200,000,000,000 dollars in numerical figures. OR two hundred thousand million dollars in words.

In spite of this, I still see old women collecting paper boxes to survive
You might have seen them pushing their trolly down the street.
Next time when you see them, congratulate them for living in a country with obscene amounts of reserve cash.............money to be kept for foreign investment maybe......... -
money is money
the problem is with the distribution and the channels to allow such ppl to obtain welfare and benefits -
From another perspective, that's like $40,000 for every Singaporeans. -
u never know that maybe this money is to prepare for something serious in the future? dun juz judge by the surface and by the way,how do you know this amount...

Run to Australia... cannot lah... must take airplane, so fly to Australia..... make sure they allow you to land hor.... if not like Pakistan CDF.... kenna trap in the sky.... Good luck when you reach there.... hope they treat you better than they do to vietnames or indonesians.... with $40K in hand... which I hope you have contributed to...

Wah, imagine if one day the president go crazy and ask me out to meeting, then during the meeting he says, "Eric, I hereby present you the check for 200 billion dollars." I can spend my whole life ah, everyday shopping also dunno can spend finish or not, 1 day buy 10 ferrari also not enough time for me to spend finish in this life time. OK, now I can imagine my boss face says, "Eric, stop dreaming and get to work..." "ok boss."

From: "truth" -Fri, 08 Apr 2005 --A Minister's Pay - an estimate-- http://groups.google.com.sg/group/soc.culture.singapore/msg/7151c65dc0ebd239?&hl=en
“Singapore ministers have a lifetime pension of about 80% of their last drawn salary after about two terms.
The Pm at S$1.9 million will get over S$1.5 million a year for life.
Tell me is he bringing all these money along with him when he die?”
True?
