Singapore best prepared city in Asia to manage a crisis

(Nov 15): As the saying goes, it pays to be prepared, and Singapore takes top spot in that regard, according to a new report from Cushman & Wakefield Inc.

The "Prepped Cities Index" ranks 17 cities in the Asia Pacific region on their preparedness for things like terrorism and environmental and macroeconomic events. Singapore is No. 1 for its government’s ability to provide multinational companies with a stable business operating environment, Cushman & Wakefield said.

Melbourne and Shanghai came in second and third, while Jakarta and Mumbai score poorly, coming in last and 16th respectively.
