One of my high school friends has lived in Singapore for over 40 years. He’s a software engineer for one of the companies that specializes in CNC machines. He and his wife really love living there. They came in for our 50th high school reunion, they arrived from Singapore to LAX. Randy said LAX reminded him of a 3rd world airport.
Been there a few times. Used to have a IT team there but that was moved to KP Malaysia. The Singapore airport is stunning so most airports will lose that contest.
Don’t they still use public lashings?
Is their growth of their GDP possible from any increases in Learing Center locations?
Singapore knows how to fight a real war on drugs.
