What a fucking grotesque conservatopia.
You can go to a Starbucks and leave your laptop and phone on a desk. Literally no one will take it. Mostly because of fear of execution.
Hyperbole isn’t helping you make your point. Singapore’s punishment for theft:
Punishment for theft
379. Whoever commits theft shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to 3 years, or with fine, or with both.
Yeah another reason why my next vacation in Asia won’t be there.
This is the best response - vote with your dollars. And let any friends / fam in Singapore know they’re losing your travel, perhaps, eventually they’ll join the modern world in terms of prohibitions.
Just curious, Japan, China and Indonesia aren’t pot friendly, where would you go instead around the pacific side of asia?
It isn’t about cannabis for me in terms of travel. It is about all the other insane legal stuff there. Yes, I prefer to get high before I get on a plane these days but I can manage fine without doing that.
In any case my next vacation to Asia is probably going to be a two day stopover in South Korea followed by a week or two in Thailand.
Singapore’s success is partly due to the absence of minimum wages and also the use of migrant workers like Qatar. Take that away…
Yes… partly due, or minutely due. It’s not like they’re building their success overnight. Their main sector is service, and partly manufacturing which used to be their main sector. And have been building strong reputation that’s good enough to attract expats. Take the expats away, they can still thrive. They’ve got very competent locals breeded from their hight quality school system and many top 50 universities, which is a lot considering their size.
For the low skills needs they import the migrant workers. Take that away… no worry, many other will come. They threat their workers well - not like the middle eastern counterpart.
They are like night and day compared to Qatar/UAE.
So, to get back to your last sentence: Take that away… no big deal.
p/s: this is my rational view as their overlooking neighbour.
Something tells me the rich people in singapore have no problem getting drugs.
