Total side note... But if you're into tech and haven't been to Singapore, I'd recommend going... But know that it might make you apprehensive. The backend structure to support that number of cameras alone, has to be ridiculous. Every subway station is surrounded by 20 cameras, there are 3-5 looking at you as you enter, there are 20 more before you get to the platform where there are 10 that can see you. There are poles on the street every 2-4 blocks that have 8-10 cameras around them. The further you get away from downtown the more "relaxed" it is I'm sure but it was a pretty crazy place. I had just figured with the amazing infrastructure they have that they also would have world class security. But what do I know!?

How would you recommend getting into it? Might be a viable avenue for me later this year.

  Getting into SG? What do you mean? You want to come as a tourist or..? I just completed my first year here in SG, maybe I can answer specific questions?

  If you want to live in Singapore, you need to have a job offer. Every major IT company (and many minors) has an Asian/SE Asian HQ there and they're constantly hiring. Winging it on your own is considerably more complicated, but feasible if you're well paid and keen to start your own business, just look up EntrePass.

I know they should have more world class security like us in the US. Something as significant as the leaking of millions of people's information, that is unheard of in the west.

Actually, the more systems you have, the more likely you are having to a vulnerability and a point of weakness.
