We are no. 20 - Newsweek’s list of the 100 best countries in the world

Singapore is listed as no. 20 in Newsweek's report of the best 100 countries.

We're behind our fellow Asia + Pacific countries - Australia (ranked no. 5), Japan, NZ, Korea (no. 15).

As expected, we were marked down for political environment, scoring only 53.26%.  It's kinda hard to stomach this, considering Croatia had 70+, even Philippines had 58. 

I'll take our "police state" status versus an unstable/inept or corrupted government - so if it means the world scores us down for that, I could live with it.

Go Singapore!
