National Day is just around the corner.

And considering that it is our Bicentennial Year, we thought it might be interesting to revisit the growth we’ve accomplished since achieving Independence in 1965 and to address a commonly debated topic by most Singaporeans as well.

In this article, we’ll be presenting the facts, figures, and statistics of Singapore, one of the world’s fastest-growing economies vs the economies of five other countries.

Using that data, we’ll also be comparing the compensation package of Singapore’s leader vs. that of the leaders from the five selected countries to find out if Singapore’s Prime Minister is really overpaid or not.

Disclaimer: We have no political affiliations and just want to put to rest the rumours and questions that are swirling around the internet through good ol’ fashion research and the use of facts and figures from official sources.
