Singapore is 17th most prosperous country: 1st or 3rd world?

 

 

I refer to the article “S’pore is 17th most prosperous country” (Today, Oct 28).

Since Malaysia is the only other country in Asean that is in the top 50, at 43rd,

I think it may be interesting to compare Singapore and Malaysia,

from the perspective of what it may all mean to ordinary citizens?
