Singapore Riot: "Rising inequality is the proven enemy of stability."

Opinion: Inequality threatens the rich - CNN.com:
"Rising inequality is the proven enemy of stability."
Some Singaporeans do not believe this.

The Singapore riot on 8 Dec 2013 is another proof.
"About 400 foreign workers took to the streets, hurling railings at police and torching police cars and an ambulance." (From BBC, "Singapore bus death triggers riot")
The foreign workers are among the poorest in Singapore. Singapore's Gini coefficient is among the highest in the world.
