2021 565 billion(Sept)

Compared to our neighboring countries that took on massive debts and are now projected to be in serious trouble within the next five years, Singapore did very well. Whatever macro moves Singapore did, pay off massively. You can hate the Gov all you want, but damn, they really know how to invest.
Even if their assets increase, it means little to civil servants who have not been receiving mid year and end year bonuses for 2019, 2020 and 2021. It's equivalent to clapping for our healthcare workers.
