Singapore healthcare is ranked one of the best in the world

This isn't from the Shitty Times either.
Indeed it is not from the Shitty Times, but it is a table that is meaningless unless one understands on what basis it was prepared. Just like accepting a table that says Sinkieland is the safest or most expensive or whatever place on earth without realising is limited to expatriates and is denominated in US dollars. Healthcare probably will be number one if money is no object and you don't have to join the queue in public hospitals and take your chances there. Regardless of what any table prepared by foreigners or conducted by government minders in controlled environment says, the experience of users of the public system is the ultimate litmus test and judging by the comments here and elsewhere, Sinkieland's public healthcare system fares poorly.
Singapore students have been found to be the best in the world when it comes to problem solving. Rote learning wouldn't have achieved this.

Analyse what you read my dear. Don't accept everything at face value.
It is the FIRST time that this test is being conducted and what a ridiculous name for a test - PISA and not hamburger. "85,000 students from 44 countries and economies took the computer-based test". A computer-based test! Oh my God and you believed it lock, stock and barrel?
So how many innovative products have come out of Sinkieland? Merlion is not counted arh!
Singapore's judicial system may not be your kettle of fish but it is ranked number 2 in Asia just behind HK.
Says who? Only in commercial disputes not involving the government? Did it take into account the ISA, Woffles' $1,000 fine for perverting the course of justice, et cetera. What is the perception of the man in the street? Did anybody do an independent survey? Are such surveys even allowed in Sinkieland?
You have to learn to stop thinking that your own personal opinion can override cold hard facts.

You have to learn to stop using tables prepared by others, some with vested interests, some done for a purpose which is different to the argument at hand e.g. a survey for expatriates, some by ignorant foreigners who have not lived in the Little Red Dot for a single day, et cetera as "cold hard facts".
