I've lived in Singapore, and while it is generally a free society, its only pseudo democratic, and the government has placed various restrictions on political activities. Its no where near the level of Saudi Arabia, but there is a huge difference between traveling to Singapore for work/vacation and living there.

I am aware Singapore is not a perfect democratic example but this derails the debate and is beside the point, which is that if Singapore had mirrored the oppressive nature of Saudi Arabia, it would never have succeeded.

  I can agree with that. I didn't mean to derail the debate.
