Hah, what a funny little 'country'. I wouldn't take anything seriously about their opinions.
Typical Westerner. As always, Europeans are the only non-Americans with "legitimate" politics.
1. Opebo lives in Thailand and hates America.
2. Singapore is literally fascist. I wouldn't listen to them either (and I don't get why we have a FTA with a nation that bans unions).

Singapore, other than being non-white, is what the GOP wants for America.
Singapore is what I want for America, yes. If only my party shared that view. Singapore shows what a country can do when a government is committed to governing and has a longterm vision of improvement and a goal of self determination. Singapore was once a swamp. Now look at it today. The PAP government is a good demonstration of state intervention being used towards a greater goal of development and a sustainable free market economy. Unlike Hong Kong, dominated by a few oligarchs and wholly undemocratic, Singapore is far more open, both economically and politically. Also, its the world's only slum free major city, but don't let that get in the way of your agenda.
It is unfortunate to see that Singaporean youth are becoming decadent, I assume embracing immorality, promiscuity, and delayed maturation like their American fellows. One might hope the traditional values of society shall react against that. Thankfully Singapore is not Japan in the regards that it rejects immigrants, that certainly would be an odd stance for a Chinese enclave in Malaya. There are many wealthy Chinese (and others not so wealthy) who seek to leave that country, and since regrettably the United States does not seem willing to accommodate them and take as many immigrants from Asia as possible, hopefully Singapore can have another influx or two.
Of course declining birth rates are a bad thing. They mean smaller workforces, labour shortages, unfunded pension obligations, lack of innovation, smaller tax bases, etc. etc.
