Singapore as opposed to Norway doesn't have a socialist dominated political system. That means more freedom.

You really should look into Singapore freedoms before making statements like that. There are several political philosophies in the world that are more restrictive than the social-democracies of the liberal democracies in the Nordic countries.

Singapore is effectively a one-party state. It is very orderly, tidy and disciplined. https://www.state.gov/reports/2022-country-reports-on-human-... In section 1.F) you'll see that citizens have weak/no privacy protections from the government. 2.A) Free speech is not really a big thing there. 2.B) Weak rights to peaceful assembly.

> Singapore ... means more freedom

This is obviously a delusional take that requires ignoring reality. They quite literally don't have freedom of speech or freedom of assembly at the constitutional level, are run by what is effectively a dictatorship of varying degrees of benevolence and consistently rank in the lower end of indices of political freedom and human rights.
