Singapore is paradisical. No Sharia law, but certainly a focus on elements of social conservatism that all faiths can agree on. That combined with a free market that encourages huge investment, and a strict immigration system, makes a model for other countries around the world. I only with their immigration process was a little more lax :D

I can understand their (Singapore's) strict immigration rules. The only way for the island of Singapore to add more land is through fill. Singapore was buying land fill from Indonesia when I was there in the mid-1980s and they still are. Five and a half million people is a lot of bodies on 276 square miles of island.

IMHO, what the world needs is more countries to emulate Singapore's values and not the Muslim states. Muslims get NO special staus or privileges.

Plus you will get thrown in jail for criticizing the ruling family.

Singapore is a perfect place for puppies, or humans who can’t handle freedom.

Singaporeans long ago sacrificed freedom for security.
