Given the large number of employees in the civil service, 5.2 billion maybe not that scary. What would scare us would be that the top 1% get how much? 20% 30% 40%

Wah, top 1 per cent in USA in 2007 owns 43% of country's wealth. I tot USA has more equality than others? May be only for freedom to talk but not for wealth.

2 persons - Bill Gate and Warren Buffett - together already own more than Singapore GDP.
