  At this rate, we should easily surpass Tokyo and Seoul by 2009.

  Next mth when GST goes to 7%, we may move to top 10!

  Discrimination? If that happens, it's just karma.
  
  Majority of Singaporeans are bloody racists as well, and they don't even have the balls to do so openly, but subtly.

  You're getting closer to the Swiss standard of consumer expenditure, the Tokyo cost of living with wages inferior to that of Nicosia's (Cyprus). How's that for a deal?

  Hopefully, the increases in wages can match up with the ever rising costs.

  All the commoners need to do is work 3 jobs.

  With Spore ranked higher than NY in term of standard of living, will this factor caused more migration among the local?
