Note Reason 11 from the CNN Article:

"11. Natural disaster-free … for the most part

Owing to our geographic location, Singapore is sheltered from most of the natural disasters that afflict neighboring countries and the rest of the world. Still, people get a kick each time a strong wind blows down from the north or our houses rumble from the aftershocks of Indonesian earthquakes."

According to the Mercer report, this year's ranking also separately identified the cities with the "best infrastructure."*Singapore bagged the top spot*for this distinction, followed by Frankfurt and Munich in second place.

I believe that we have the best (or one of the best) infrastructure in areas such as the airport and seaport.

For Livable City, have to take into consideration factors such as living expenses and vibrancy of the city, and this is where Singapore has its "weaknesses".
