That's lie lmao. Singapore has personal freedom but you have to follow rules. That's why Singapore became one of the best country in Asia even though it got freedom in 1965. Singapore follows meritocracy. It's not like European country that every one is equal. If you are talented then you are welcomed in community. But if you are like bottom 10%, you are fucked up

That's the one of tthe best rule lmao. Not only it is bad for your health but also people tend to stick chewing gum at any place. It keeps city clean. And not all chewing gums are banned. You can still get nicotine free gum if you are trying to quit smoking.

None of they are in top 10 best countries to live in. Two of that countries are a rich heaven, with 80% of the population being rich people runing from income taxes. You can only live in liechtenstein and Monaco if you have permission. According to the Singapore government, over 105,000 families live in poverty. This translates to about one in 10 family homes, or 378,000 people. This will never be better than Norway, Swiss, Finland, Germany, Canada and etc

it's very interesting how much people have no clue about what they talk about, and love to give their opinion no matter what. If you are interested to know the truth about everything and not listening some dumbass comments from our best HLTV members.
