Singapore

Overview

Every country has a weak point. Singapore's happens to be economic policy, where income inequality ranks worse than 65% of the 72 countries on this list. Housing policy and healthcare financing aren't doing much better, landing at the 15th and 36th percentiles respectively. Overall, that puts Singapore at #64 — 9th Least Cooked.

Singapore scores 15 out of 100, the global median sits at 27 — so this is 12 points below that line (higher means more cooked). Where the system is holding up: homicide rate (Homicide 0.2/100k) — better than 100% of countries tracked. None of this is really about Singapore specifically — it's about what's propping up the economic policy numbers underneath.
