I saw a nice gov revenue/expenditure of Singapore here: https://www.reddit.com/r/singapore/comments/cdtf4i/singapore...

Wish this UK one was in millions, not billions.

This is quite interesting, a sizeable chunk (roughly 16 out of 90 bil) come from "Investment returns" - I guess the SG government have substantial stakes in businesses operating there?

Yes, including banking, real estate, telco, public transit, media monopoly, port operations, and Singapore Airlines https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temasek_Holdings
