I would never go to Singapore.
They'd probably end up whipping me a hundred times for something I did without even being aware of it. [1]
IMHO that whole country should serve as a counterexample to all the rest.
Humans really are good at making life miserable for each other aren't they?
[1] Maybe farting in public, or wearing my shoes on the wrong feet or whatever.
- thelasthuman 8y agoYou need a permit for a public assembly for most places in the USA. Granted there are a lot of differences between the two countries, but this could happen here.
- lotsofpulp 8y agoYou need a permit for assembly in public in the USA because it could cause traffic or other congestion issues that can create hazardous conditions, and need to be planned around. I'm sure this reasoning has been abused to prevent freedom of speech, but I don't see how it could be used online.
- paleogizmo 8y agoIn all fairness I'd be hesitant to live in Singapore on account of its high cost of living and poor work-life balance. However, there is a method to the madness as far as the legal system goes, which makes it tame to visit compare with other large cities in SE Asia or even western europe.
- ponyfleisch 8y ago> In all fairness I'd be hesitant to live in Singapore on account of its high cost of living and poor work-life balance. As an expat, that would likely not affect you much. Lots of MNCs have fairly nice working hours, decent pay and 20-25 days/year paid leave (on top of the numerous public holidays) Cost of living depends on whether you need a big apartment in a posh location and a car. Sending kids to international school is also pricey.
