Somebody described Singapore as "Disneyland with the Death Penalty". It's good for those with a deep love for the rule of law.

The fact that you would be willing to sacrifice your children’s future for “the Greater Good” is deeply troubling to me. I would want the best for my kids even at the expense of social justice and the common good.
