Hanoi’s Noi Bai Airport Surpasses Changi As World’s Best Airport For Business Travellers
February 21st, 2024 | 
Author: I have often said one of the major failings of Singapore is that our people have bought into this propaganda that we are light years ahead of the rest of our Asian neighbours.
Having worked and lived in Indonesia for many years, I can tell you this is rubbish propaganda. What I see in fact is how Singapore has declined significantly in the last 2 decades relative to our SEA neighbours who have made great strides in catching up with us and in many areas even surpassing us. In the meantime, the PAP government has been resting on its laurels whilst being paid humongous salaries which are totally out of sync with reality. And their IBs have been chanting the asinine mantra of what one Singapore dollar is compared to the Malaysian ringgit. Guess what, Malaysia and Thailand have been voted the best Asian countries to retire in. Singapore doesn’t feature in the list at all and has no hope of making it as we are the world’s most expensive city. It is not an ideal retirement place.
Look at this survey which ranks the Hanoi airport ahead of Changi for business travellers. I bet you are shocked. But don’t be.Just realise how much we have declined in the last 2 decades under the PAP.

Won’t be surprised even if Vietnam overtakes Sg in general economics sense.
Viets are agile and hardworking lot just like sgs 2 or 3 decades ago.
Only thing we,sgs from older generation, had high level of integrity.
The viets lack such integrity.
China and Vietnam would likely advance faster than most asian economies.
Hard to see India lead despite all the hype from angmohs.
Vietnam likely to be the “next China” in terms of speed in economic growth.
My 2 cents worth.

林先生有点搞不清楚状况！
东盟十国，每一个都拥有所有新加坡已经拥有的。他们拥有的，新加坡一样都没有。现在，他们最需要的就是时间，给他们时间，给他们机会，他们每一个都会比新加坡强得多多。
退休老人，经历过许多人生的风风雨雨，风吹雨打，经验丰富，他们要选一个能安享黄金年华的退休生活，用脚趾去想都知道新加坡不是他们的首选。
林先生根本不接地气，应该是从象牙塔里走出来的人。

Singapore is nowhere in the lists.
Your point is?
(Oh, wait. You don’t have a point. You are posting random links.)

This is nothing. Wait for China to finish its new port in Malaysia. Then watch the FT-loving Gahmen tell Stupid Sheeple how stupid they are for losing out to China.

Singapore has rightfully earned her distinction of being the best place in the world to PAY.

In sports e.g. Soccer, China is always not up there.
But table tennis badminton China will always be there. And comes to sprinting and running. The Afro bros will always be there.
Likewise airport, Sg will be there even though not the 1st spot. Occasionally some other country wins. Thats competition. Each year there will be some changes in the ranking. Cannot be always win.
HK, who used to top the charts in several rankings. Today all lost liao.
Anyway kudos to Vietnam.
Retirement ? Malaysia just one causeway away. What’s the problemo? Just look at the weekends. Want to go anytime right. Walk, jog, bike riding or bus also can. Future MRT. Anyway only harder truth here walk his talk.
As someone comment we muz appreciate things from afar.
