was clicking tru yahoo's finance section to check out how did DJIA did overnight when this caught my sight - Forbes' Billionaires List.

The ranking of the world's richest people as estimated by Forbes magazine. Listings include rank, name, home country or state, age where known, wealth in billions of dollars and source of the money.
Forbes says the research that went into compiling the rankings began in early 2006 and ended on Feb. 9, 2007.

out of the 840 ppl who made the list. there were 4 singaporeans, only 4 singaporeans out of the 840 ppl. in percentage, it is only wat.... 0.48%, not even hitting the .5% threshold to be rounded off as 1%.

Theses are the 4 singaporeans who did us pround and placed us on the world map once again.

118. Ng Teng Fong, Singapore, 78, $6.1, real estate

167. Wee Cho Yaw, Singapore, 78, $4.7, banking

194. Kwek Leng Beng and family, Singapore, 66, $4.3, hotels

583. Zhong Shen Jian, Singapore, 48, $1.7, real estate

so, sporeans, if u wanna make it out on the global arena, these industry might just be ur stepping stone for greater achievement.

how come we do not heard of these names in our everyday life? those that we can blab out anytime are like ron sim, kenny yap, creative's boss, hyflux's boss. maybe it shows tt when u made it big, you'll wanna disguise all the wealth and live anonymously.

when all of ur do not hear about me anymore, its either i had already made it, or i had just ........... died.

best of luck heartlanders who are trying it so so hard to make it out.
