Alexa ranking of Singapore ministries webpages


If you are into website traffic fraternity, you would have read about Alexa.com, the website which ranks all websites residing in the cyberworld according to the website traffic they garner. The lower the rank, the better is the score. The envious number 1 spot on Alexa.com is none other than big brother, Google!

Do not underestimate the Alexa rank! This Alexa rank can help to boost the fortune of several websites and blogs which reply on advertisements placed by other companies on their websites as form of revenues! To break into the top Alexa ranking of 100,000, according to my estimation, you would need to attract about 1000 pageviews per day on the average to your website!

We have heard about the Alexa ranking list of blogs and other websites,what about the Alexa ranking of websites of Singapore ministries? I trawl the internet but found no information relating to such an Alexa ranking made of the ministries here in Singapore. I believe that an Alexa ranking of the government ministries here would be beneficial as we would know which websites are most and least visited by Singaporeans (and maybe foreigners as the minority). From such a list, we can get a glimpse of what ministries that matter more directly or play a more direct and important role in the lives of Singaporeans for them to garner such high volume of traffic daily. So here is the ranking list (in decreasing Alexa ranking) I made of the 15 ministries, correct as of today:


1) Ministry Of Manpower (MOM) Website

53,519

2) Ministry Of Education (MOE) Website

60,882

3) Ministry Of Defence (MINDEF) Website

150,443

4) Ministry Of Foreign Affairs (MFA) Website

169,677

5) Ministry Of Health (MOH) Website

294,314

6) Ministry Of Community Development, Youth And Sports (MCYS) Website

453,337

7) Ministry Of Trade And Industry (MTI) Website

801,463

8) Ministry Of Home Affairs (MHA) Website

819,770

9) Ministry Of Finance (MOF) Website

880,771

10) Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) Website

1,152,004

11) Ministry Of Information, Communications And The Arts (MICA) Website

1,343,432

12) Ministry Of Law (MINLAW) Website

1,501,067

13) Ministry Of The Environment And Water Resources (MEWR) Website

1,896,938

14) Ministry Of Transport (MOT) Website

2,158,728

15) Ministry Of National Development (MND) Website

2,165,622


It seems hardly a surprise that the ministry of education and defence websites come in second and third as they are two of the three areas Singapore spends the most of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in. Ministry of Manpower websites attracts the highest traffic as in my opinion, there are so many foreigners wanting to come to work in Singapore with our Singapore’s open door policy towards them. Hence many of them visit the website to find out more about the work passes issues, etc.

It is surprising that the website of ministry of land transport is placed second last as transport is the third largest area Singapore spends its GDP on. Also surprising is the last spot of Ministry of National Development which houses the Housing Development Board under its umbrella, as I thought housing is such a bread and butter issue for all Singaporeans. However, I can really quanitfy this by my belief that many visitors actually visit the webpages of the statutory boards placed under these two ministries. Look out for my Alexa ranking of the Statutory Boards in Singapore soon!

Vernon Leong Jun Wei

What happens to the 31 year old bride groom, Vernon Leong Jun Wei? As the news of this latest unnatural and bizzare death developed, it seemed that Vernon did not jump from the 24th storey of Hilton Hotel as was believed earlier. There were 3 video camera footages which might prove otherwises for the cause of Vernon's death. The first video footage showed Vernon at the 24th storey, making his way hurriedly into the fire escape staircase. The next video footage showed Vernon at the 2nd storey which also holds some shops and the final footage showed an unconscious Vernon motionless at the ground of the hotel. Vernon was cladded casually in a T-shirt and pants and have left his hotel room while his wife was taking a shower. It seemed that he might be escaping from something or somebody or that he might be chasing after something or somebody. What did Vernon see and experience at his last moments? The police is still investigating the case. It is really a very tragical and sad

Kampong Lorong Buangkok

Amidst the blazing afternoon sun today, my Dear and I made our way to Kampong Lorong Buangkok. The visit was a timely one as there is such a high buzz being generated over the last kampong in modern Singapore. After alighting from Bus 854 from Eunos, it was not difficult to find our way to the kampong. The entrance of the kampong was distinct as you could see from the picture: the 'ulu-ness' (rural charm) is evident from the attap-roofed buildings and more unkempt conditions. A signboard with hand-written text welcome my Dear and I to the last kampong in Singapore: As we entered the kampong, I spotted a middle-aged woman talking to an old man. I had seen the old woman before on TV. She was none other than the owner of the kampong land. In the documentary, I learnt that the whole kampong land was passed to her by her late father. She has kept the land and have not gone on to sell the land to the government. If she were to sell the land, she would be an instant multi-millionair

Performance Bonus

It is the time of the year civil servants receive their performance bonuses (PBs). In the coming two weeks, civil servants will not only receive their performance bonuses, special ‘growth bonuses’, would also await them for the very first time. These PBs and growth bonuses are only applicable to performers, defined as officers with assessed performance gradings above the ‘D’ grade. Typically, civil servants receive their performance bonuses in March, a 0.5 month of bonus in July and a 13th month plus AVC in December. Are all the bonuses good? To be frank, the bonuses dished out in Civil Service are averages at best. With the various bonuses being given out in these months: July, December and March, a civil servant who would like to quit would most likely try to find a ‘suitable’ month to quit so as not to forfeit his bonuses. The December bonus is generally the most generous portion. To quantify for this bonus, an officer would have to be in service till the end of January ne
