Singapore the cleanest country in the world?

Guess which is the cleanest country in the world? Clue: It's not Singapore
If you have always thought Singapore was one of the cleanest countries in the world, it is time to rethink that. According to this video, we are not the cleanest in the world. In fact, Singapore is not even on the top 10 list.
The video, chanced upon by STOMPer Xuan Xuan, is a compilation of the top ten cleanest countries in the world according to the Environmental Performance Index (EPI).
EPI is an indicator of a country's environmental performance based on the policies employed by that country.
The top scorers for year 2010 were Iceland , Switzerland and Costa Rica with EPI scores of 93.5, 89.1 and 86.4 respectively.
Singapore qualified at 28th place with a score of 69.6.
Perhaps it is time to think about the areas in which Singapore could improve in terms of environmental cleanliness, Xuan Xuan says.
The sender says:
"I came across a video online that shows the world's top 10 cleanest countries in the world.
"From the video it says that the cleanest country in the world is Iceland, a country that I have never even heard of.
"From the list of these countries, I start to wonder if Singapore is a clean country too.
"I decided to share this video because I think Singapore is clean too, but there is room for improvement.
"Singapore is a green country and the top 10 cleanest countries should act as our role models". -
We have always been told that Singapore is a clean and green country. Looks like there are cleaner and greener cities out there. Thank god for internet.
-
with all the FTs bring their dirty habits the rating will drop further.
-
Maybe is Japan the cleanest country in the world..
-
The cleanest place on earth is a place without any human civilisation.
Human being are a pest to this planet.

What retard is the Stomper? He never heard of Iceland? And EPI doesn't only mean cleaniness. It also takes account into things like environmental protection and such. Where in EPI does it say cleaniness? Singapore is clean, but may not be environmentally godly.
-
Switzerland?
-
Times are bad.
Stomper has never heard of Iceland before.
-
I am surprised that the stomper does not know where is Iceland... Xuan Xuan, wonder which country she is from... HEHE
-
Singapore is not at all entirely clean. You go to Changi Airport, Orchard its for-sure clean. Try go to the hawker centre! Cockroaches and rats all over.
-
Luckily Burkina Faso is not on the list.
Otherwise the stomper might think the list was naming imaginary countries.

Why everything blame the government?
Why?

pap is not garment

Singaporeans blame the government for everything, even for trivial matters that the government have no role to play in. Haiz. And hawker centers are disgusting places. Food littered all over the floor and stinking dishes just tossed aside. Eew. That's why I haven't been to one in 12 years. Just walking past one makes me cringe.

With all regards to the above, I salute your words, Medicated Oil.

Some singaporeans have never even heard of a place like the bahamas....so no big deal la. There are people with worse geography knowledge in other countries.
-
i know about switzerland and ice land
-
We are the cleanest country in the world simply because our money is being cleaned up by PAP. Spotless.

Some places in Singapore are quite dirty one, I used to live in Boon Lay block, the lift is so rundown and the rubbish is piling up here and there.
