India has the most stunted children in the world combined with the most poor.

https://www.globalcitizen.org/en/content/urban-rural-two-sides-of-indias-sanitation-problem/

That means half a billion people are pooping outside . Thats 2x Pakistan's population.

https://www.globalcitizen.org/en/content/urban-rural-two-sides-of-indias-sanitation-problem/

Indian newspaper claiming India is the most unhygenic and filthy country in the world. Well thats not a surprise

Ha ha ha India is not in the begging line at Saudi Arabia , China .

what does do you think singapore does for a living ?

He is not singapuri , he is .....

That Guy is NOT from Singapore. PERIOD.
It's a Trend I have been witnessing on PDF like Manlion, NiluPule, this guy HanPatriot and others who have no other agenda but to pretend to be from a certain place/country and spit Anti India Venom.

They are all from the same butthurt place ..you know
But they pretend to be from different place .

People may leave for various reasons.
Difference is we wish them well but we don't celebrate those who forsake Singapore and found success as a mark of our achievement like Indians do.
LOSER mentality of Indians at work.
Maybe Inferiority Complex of losing the Whole Continent to JUST 3000 British East India Soldiers still lingers on.

Leave the troll alone.

i do not know much of her early life. she grew up in india. i see she is not an engineer by training. i assume she is american citizen by now. i read some business columns about her. she was a very hard worker. but give credit to her bosses at Pepsi who recognized her talent and her work. she made most of the deals that allowed pepsi to catch up with coca cola in market cap. i think KO is still ahead. a lot of deals are classic case studies for business school.

it is amusing to see people make fun of her accomplishments. i won't mention the fact she is a woman and a woman of color to succeed in a white male dominated corporate environment

If she were a Pakistani, we would be proud of her. Very talented lady indeed.
But as a Pakistani, I see the India factor in she being president of World bank. So, see, we are not clearly happy about this appointment. Never the less, our suspicions may all be false.

 

[Chhatrapati]

What do you want to convey?
That 1.3 BILLION STRONK India produces nothing but NINCOMPOOPs.
Even at 1% intelligent, equates to 13 million SLAVING to make White Masters RICH.
.

Please take care of this one.

Most probably due to extreme Inferiority Complex and severe LACK of achievements in 1.3 BILLION STRONK INDIA.
Only proud ancient VEDIC achievements, SADLY.
.

@Dubious Like I said before. You agree with me or not.

 

[manga]

I have a house in Australia and in the Philippines, is that relevant to what I achieve in Singapore?
Don't quote me anymore.
I will leave you Indians to Celebrate and HONOR THOSE who FORSAKE INDIA, and found success.
Losers tend to do that.
.

No body called you here.
Next time dont even enter indian threads.

Apparently your education in the US or INDIA is a FAILURE.

People may leave for various reasons.
Difference is we wish them well but we don't celebrate those who forsake Singapore and found success as a mark of our achievement like Indians do.

We wish WELL those who migrate to other countries FOR VARIOUS REASONS and may they find success in their new homes.
Selected Migrants are welcomed to make their mark in Singapore, making use of the SUPPORT, Environment and Opportunities that may be UNAVAILABLE in their hometowns.
We will be proud to be of help to groom such prominent migrants and take it as OUR ACHIEVEMENT.

What happens to them back home? If you guys are so talented try to bring out those 400 million poor Indians out of poverty(more than entire africa combined).

We have already done it. What can I do if you are unaware?

https://worldpoverty.io/

India number of poor = 49.3 million

Nigeria number of poor = 91 million

Africa number of poor = (obviously larger than Nigeria)

Even under earlier URP method, India has total number of poor (about 100 million ppl) around the same as Nigeria as of 2018:

https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/bitstream/handle/10986/30418/9781464813306.pdf

So no idea where you are getting this 400 million number from, that too equivalent to more than all of Africa's poor combined (given Nigeria represents about 16% of Africa's population).

Singapore’s Top Trading Partners

1. China: US$54 billion (14.5% of total Singaporean exports)
2. Hong Kong: $46 billion (12.3%)
3. Malaysia: $39.6 billion (10.6%)

Do you actually understand Singapore is actually a glorified warehouse? Companies stock their items in Singapore and re-export them giving them a huge export balance sheet. Its reserves is high is cos its a financial hub and most reserves of top tech companies are held in Singapore.

Next time you talk of Indra or any Indian, remember you Chinese ran away with tails btw their legs from your motherland and contributed nothing to China and living in a Tamil named Island called Singapore.

Even though we might go by 2$ per day standard, I believe 49m is too less of an number though given by statistics. I would however somewhere rate our poverty around 200m people. Nowadays even 15k INR PM for a family is still poor by every standard.

That is a different conversation then...I am just challenging the notion that India has more poor people than all of Africa (given their total number would also increase if you raise the threshold of poverty standard).

So I am waiting for his reply on which threshold he thinks suitable that will get 400 million poor people in India, so we can look at how many in Africa fall under that same threshold....it will be way more than that for sure.

In fact when we look at multi-dimensional poverty, India does better than Pakistan even:

https://ophi.org.uk/multidimensional-poverty-index/global-mpi-2018/

• In 2015/16, more than 364 million people are still MPI poor in India.
• In India, 271 million people moved out of poverty in ten years.

compared to for Africa:

• 560 million MPI poor live in Sub-Saharan Africa.

For south asia the MPI scores (headcount * intensity) are (lower is better):

India = 0.121 (2015-2016)

Bangladesh = 0.194 (2014)

Pakistan = 0.228 (2012-2013)

By pure headcount only (during the respective survey years):

India = 27.5% = 364 million people

Bangladesh = 41.07% = 66 million people

Pakistan = 43.9% = 80 million people

As you can see the most recent survey years vary, but it didnt stop a bunch of Pakistani members like @RiazHaq from comparing them when India's was much older (like from 2005) so had "worse" score than Pakistan (which had the 2012 survey in its case) in those results. It has fallen out of vogue in those quarters ever since India's survey from 2015 came in.

Of course you do and you also stay at the Imperial Palace in the forbidden city when you are not jet setting and dining with Presidents and Prime ministers at tour real estate empire in the capitals of the world.
Of course you take time off to contribute to the worlds leading informative influential forum such as PDF when your busy schedule at Davos allows
Talk about a craven boot licking inferiority complex.
