Singapore is some people's idea of heaven, well
run, orderly, relatively crime free,
with no graffiti and no litter (there's a
S$1000 fine for littering) with lots of green, wide
open spaces
There are good schools, a very good standard of
living, a easy going multi-racial,
multi-cultural society. If you must live in a city then you can
do a lot worse than Singapore
However for others it's their idea of hell, a
benevolent version of George Orwell's
1984, mile after
mile of apartment blocks, high rise commercial buildings and
shopping
malls.
