It's naive and simplistic to merely look at a debt-to-GDP ratio to jump to conclusions about a country's financial health.
You need to also look at the quality of the ratio besides the quantity. Let me give you some exampurs:
1. A person who borrows $15K from a bank to study at a university is a better risk than someone who borrows to gamble.
2. A person who borrows money to do a sustainable business is safer for a bank than someone who borrows to do a start-up with unknown risk and returns..
3. A person who borrows with collateral like a landed property is better than someone who borrows using his mouth to assure you that he can repay his loan.
So you look at who the borrower is and what he is going to do with the money if you are the lender. When Singapore borrows, you feel safe. If it is Malaysia, you worry. Applies to both government and private sector borrowings.

No wonder the maz is called “insider monkey” becos monkeys r operating it. Countries having debts can also mean the country is strong, rich, safe and worthy for investors to deposit and park their money and to do business.
Omni is in my ignored list. This works well like he always bumps my post for me all the time. Thank u Omni.

Why not?
You don't know right
What the hell you shitting here?..
Temasek Holdings 'AAA/A-1+' Ratings Affirmed; Outlook Stable
One or more of the credit ratings referenced within this article was assigned by deviating from S&P Global Ratings' published Investment Holding Companies Methodology (IHC Methodology) criteria.
We believe Temasek Holdings (Pte) Ltd. (Temasek) has unique credit characteristics that temper risks arising from a growing proportion of unlisted assets in the company's investment portfolio.
As a result, we have applied a criteria exception, and subject to certain conditions, our assessment of Temasek's business risk profile would not automatically be capped at fair should the proportion of listed assets fall below 40%.
We are affirming our 'AAA' long-term and 'A-1+' short-term issuer credit ratings on Temasek. We are also affirming our 'AAA' long-term issue rating on the medium-term notes (MTN) program of Temasek Financial (I) Ltd. and Temasek Financial (IV) Pte Ltd., and on the notes issued under those programs. At the same time, we are affirming our 'A-1+' short-term rating on the euro commercial paper program of Temasek Financial (II) Pte Ltd. Temasek guarantees these programs and notes.
The stable outlook on Temasek reflects that on our sovereign ratings on Singapore. It also reflects our opinion that the company's close relationship with, and likelihood of extraordinary and timely support from, the government will remain intact.

The public debt is mostly owe to Sg residents CPF and foreign investors who
park the money in Sg.
I suppose almost all backed by invested assets. Afterall Sg also have decent big reserve.
Unless the asset fall below the invested price and lot of money are withdraw
at the same time. It will not be a problem.
Nevertheless if foresee a major crisis is coming, Sg govt should cut investing and CPF.

Most of the debt is singpapore govt owe to CPF account holders...
They can change rules revise withdrawal age and so on...so it is mot like a normal debt where creditors can dictate the terms
