Singapore ranked third in world's top cities for meetings
SINGAPORE: Singapore has been ranked the world's third top city for meetings.
It stands just behind Paris and Vienna, which hold the first and second positions, based on the Union of International Associations (UIA) latest rankings.
This is the first time Singapore has been placed among the top three.
It also moves up three notches, from fourth position, to being Asia's top country for meetings.
At the same time, Singapore maintains its 23-year standing as Asia's top city for meetings...

hahahaha, I wonder whether this thread was created for balance or for another political agenda.
I am an insane who didn't know that I am living in such a terrible state called SG.

Here, I am not free, I am blind, I have no speech and I can't even spend my own money. Hmmm ... where shall I go? -

World first and world best in so many things (apparently, allegedly) and yet after taking at one time 40% of the people's salaries and now 32% they come and tell you that you do not have enough for retirement.
You know why? They keep taking (in the form of hidden taxes) until you do not have enough. The hidden taxes that they take from you and expect to take from you goes to increasing their million dollars salaries as well.... -
wahh.. so many statistics sia.. [/list]

You seem to be hung up on one common line in all your post - are you trying hard not to expose too much of your double character from being sniffed out as your crap maker ?Originally posted by TheGoodEarth:Aah, my wish came true ..... the political agendist is here for me to pile more crap on top of his bull=sh....t !
Not too smart to leave a trail that keeps appearing consistently to reveal a complete picture of deceit. -
It is amazing that the MIW carpet beggars are the ones deriding their critics as whiners, while they forget to remind themselves of their own whining about the whiners..Originally posted by Gazelle:Here is a survey which could explain why there are so many whiners in this forum. http://www.synovate.com/current/news/article/2005/10/synovate-survey-shows-ascending-singaporean-spending-power.html
Remarkable ability to sniff out crap to justify the crap maker's work.
At least try to have your Left Hand knows what the Right Hand is doing.
