Singaporeans ranked as world’s most "online present" citizens

The city-state topped 124 other cities in the ranking.

Going full speed towards its Smart City initiative, Singapore has been ranked as the top city for online presence in the A.T. Kearney Global Cities Index 2016.

According to a press release by A.T. Kearney, the city-state topped the information exchange criteria of the survey, including metrics for access to information via the internet and other media sources.

It was also included in the ‘Global Elite’ category, ranking second in the Asia-Pacific after Tokyo. It also beat out Sydney and Melbourne in the region.

Globally, Singapore ranked eighth, maintaining its 2015 positioning, and 17th under the Global Cities outlook.

According to Soon Ghee Chua, partner and head of Southeast Asia at A.T. Kearney, Singapore is on its way to becoming a dynamic global infocomm hub by effectively leveraging technology for economic and social development.

“Just this week, the government called for a projected S$2.82 billion of ICT tenders for 2016 that are aimed at enhancing the quality of citizens' lives and easing business transactions with the government,” he said.
