The quality of governance in Singapore makes even a spoiled dutch man like me jealous.

Would be even cooler if they found a way to maximize personal liberties too (referring to the freedom of expression, religion and sexuality). It's hard to see why it couldn't just embrace those. I doubt these freedoms are the gateway drug to democracy they fear it is.

You're pretty free in terms of expression, religion, and sexuality here. In fact, it's probably one of the most sexually liberal places in Asia. Hell, prostitution is even legal here.

You do need to follow the rules though or face incredibly harsh punishments for any crimes (including drugs etc).
