Singapore is virtually corruption free.
Back in the day that was not a very known fact, I had a young collegue in the marketing department who was sent there. Apparently, he thought it’s business as elsewhere in Asia, trying some kickback scheme and the company was slapped with hefty bribery fines. Needless to say, the guy career in our company ended abruptly and his manager was fired too.
I understand Japanese prisons are extremely tough by our standards. Tough by being more psychological then physical, they use the power of boredom to punish. Very little to do, or entertain yourself, life in Japanese “stir” is highly regimented. I remember reading an article that says America criminals that have experienced both say in Japanese prisons weeks seem like months & months are like years.
Hey much prefer being in American prisons.
That is because the Japanese respect their history, culture and each other.
They have problems with class structure like any society.
And, the roles of men and women are culturally fixed. Feminism wasn’t needed to liberate them.
