there public transport is amazing. Nothing is even 30 seconds late, and it is extremely frequent-like a train every three minutes.
Also, the city center is virtually void of cars.
But, that said, it is still a semi-fascist government.
Let us be clear. Year in year out the population of Singapore vote for the People's Action Party. No cheating no rigged elections no chads and so on and so on. The People's Action Party is guilty of gerrymandering to artifically hold down the number of seats of the opposition but on the whole they won all their elections fair and square. In fact the opposition parties collectively always contests less than a majority of the seats for the fear that if the PAP's postion as the ruling party is endangered no one would risk voting non-PAP.
On the whole I support the PAP and their no-nonsense approach. They should take advantage of their political invincibilty to create a socity without dependency and avoid the road of the welfare that other more competitive populist systems conversage toward. Atlas the PAP still does the same.
