A very good friend of mine who is not a Christian has recently become a Singaporean citizen after living there for decades. He paints a picture of a prosperous, easygoing, relatively crime-free society without any real poverty. People are rewarded for working and penalised for not. The weak are helped and as a society seemingly, it has shared goals.
The point I was most interested in was how very different races and religions simply coexist. {Some may be delighted; others concerned that Jehovah's Witnesses and Moonies are recognised as dangerous cults and are therefore banned} The 'ghetto mentality' is largely absent.
Citizens are not bossed about by a nitpicking, nanny state which wants total mind control. It enjoys far more freedom than here. Singapore horrifies the left even though by normal definition it is not a rightwing society.
Virtually all the social problems we have here, from burglary to graffitti, from drugs to parasitism are rare in the extreme.
It may have its downside but compared to us...................
