While I love Singapore it has its pluses and minuses. Education? World class which was one of Yew’s greatest accomplishments. Providing proper housing for the citizens? Good. Attracting international business to the country? World class. Infrastructure? Great. Low corruption? Very good.
The problems I have seen is the country now seems to rely on imported labor rather than increase the pay of the Singaporeans. Lack of press freedom. The low to nonexistent tax rates on capital gains tax, foreign income etc., is indicative of late state captured capitalism. I hope the leaders see the handwriting on the wall before it is too late. It is a tiny but very nice place…if you can afford it.
