Singaporeans are world's fastest walkers?

I saw this on the news.

Singaporeans are the world's fastest walkers!
It calculated the average time taken for people to walk a distance of over 18 metres.
Singaporeans clocked the shortest time of just over 10 seconds (10.55 seconds).
This was followed by Copenhagen (10.82 seconds) and Madrid (10.89 seconds).
New York is at number 8 and surprisingly, London ranked outside the top 10.

I really doubt this result. I still think New Yorkers walk faster than us. Maybe the data was collected when this was a sales/freebies give-away at some place. So the people walk faster to get the freebies/discounts? Haha..

Alright, back to my books/notes....
