Singapore is a police state that doles out corporal punishment for things like spitting on the sidewalk. Not sure that it should be a model for how to run a society, or that practices there are portable to places where such draconian punishments aren’t routine.

- tim333 3y agoSingapore isn't that bad really. They don't cane people for spitting, they fine for that kind of thing. I felt much safer there than say Austin TX where I went recently. But anyway Belgium is also on the list and other places. I did mention Singapore to a friend in the UK who works with the NHS and he said it wouldn't work here because Singaporeans are responsible and look after their health while Brits don't. Not sure about that one.
