No free speech, no witnessing/religion converting, no right to assemble, no gun rights, no property rights, etc etc. It certainly is a dream spot for a expat who isn't concerned with those issues.

I like to stay in Singapore but it’s really just a well-run city of 6 million.....

This guy trades his freedom for security. A good little sheep.

When I lived in Hong Kong (before the commies solidified their grip), we used to call Singapore an “expat starter kit”. It’s nice, clean, antiseptic and the weather is always 30 degrees Celsius, chance of rain.

I can understand why he’d choose to live in a country that is in proximity of Communist China, rather than live in a city like New York that is actually run by Communists.

An armed society is a polite society, but one that actively canes people for small infractions is still one I’d give a thumbs-up to, on keeping order.

Singapore doesnt have the violent, high crime,demographic that is still trying to recover from slavery which ended 150 years ago. Nor do they have corrupt Soros DAs and prosecutors that routinely frees violent criminals to offend again. This is a major factor when you compare the shithole of NYC to Singapore.

Just got back from there and I agree with everything he says.

Truly a little gem of a city/state!

“They shared that while it’s nice to live here for a few years, long-term stay and retirement is “a bad choice” because there is “no soul and spirit”.”

Well they can come to Oakland or Baltimore - lots of soul, spirit and vibrancy.

Spent my entire professional life overseas and loved every day of it. Would do it again if given the opportunity.
