At least I'm trying.
You guys don't make my job any easier by shitting on Singapore whenever you get the chance to, without even the least interest in learning the truth about it.

Without the least interest of learning about Singapore? When people who have lived in Singapore for almost a decade talk about the country (city) I would call that an informed opinion. Singaporeans love to compare Singapore to western countries, and in some limited but important respects Singapore is better (government financials and easy basic healthcare). When it comes to freedom and human right Singapore isn't up to the same (very low in my opinion) standards of the western countries it compares itself to. Maybe you can help change that. Most people's idea of freedom is what their country tells them they can do. Western countries are just further up on the wrong end of the bell curve.
