I'm not surprised since houses and cars are so expensive in Singapore. But cost of living really depends on lifestyle. A middle class person can choose not to have a car and ride the public bus or mrt; this isn't an option in many cities on that list. Middle class people in Singapore can also afford to eat out everyday, which would be an unimaginable luxury to most people living in the US, Europe and Australia. 

I started watching football because my grandfather and father were both football fans, and came to support Manchester United after Eric Cantona turned up his collar and said “au revoir “ before smashing a ball through the body of a demon in a Nike commercial. Cantona was the king at old trafford but sadly didn’t enjoy his day in the sun with les bleus because of his own bad temperament and the emergence of a certain Zinedine Zidane. Football has moved on with a lot more pressing and use of wing backs and it’s for the better. Allez les bleus! 🇫🇷
