I enjoyed my visit to Singapore, but I did find it very sterile.

when I worked at Paramount & Universal Home Video scripts for each movie had to be censured before release in Singapore, very strict laws there

Singapore is an interesting case study in multiculturalism and authoritarianism. These draconian laws exist to prevent racial, cultural and religious tension from boiling over into full scale riots. It's arguable that Singapore couldn't exist peacefully without them. As the west becomes more multicultural we see similar restrictions on personal freedoms being introduced in the name of security and social harmony.

What is deemed 'offensive' seems to be very subjective.
Singapore is very authoritarian, which is anathema to the West. Nevertheless it is a very ethnically and religiously diverse, yet harmonious, well organised and prosperous nation.

Beautiful harmony.

Singapore is a totalitarian state. I wouldn't want to have any business there, none. Their founder has a sick personality cult and that's never good.
