... Great view of Singapore's impressive skyline at night... Singapore is the most developed, urbanized country in Asia... and also on top of the list of the most expensive cities on earth... an achievement in urban planning... and serves as a model for many developing nations... while it doesn't have natural resources or much land... it does have a competitive advantage, and that's its port, which is strategically located on the world map... Thanks Ravindra!【ツ】
