Arguably the libel capital of the world, where democracy or freedom of speech is ranked very low among developed countries, and political persecution or defamation for contempt of court very high for anyone who dares to publish content critical of the government.
The number of Singaporeans and foreign journalists threatened with a lawsuit in recent years has been on the rise, as authorities often use dated colonial or internal security laws as a pretext for maintaining religious or racial harmony to silence and punish political critics.

Get the Singaporemug. An educational mecca for budget-conscious tourists, who are looking for some cheap, cool math books for their kids whose math grades have hardly improved from using locally published textbooks.
Although Singapore is arguably a first-class economy with a third-rate educational publishing industry—which often condones Machiavellian math practices—however, its wallet-friendly math K-12 titles are sought after by homeschoolers in many developed and developing countries.

Get the Singaporemug. A “tuition nation” where your grade six exam score more or less determines your future—the fear of failing and not getting into a school of choice reduces your chances of a decent or quality education, because the top or popular schools have “better teachers” and more resources.
Because of its high-stakes exams, Singapore is probably the world’s most stressful country for a child to experience a normal childhood—and she will be at a disadvantage if her parents can’t afford to send her for private tuition.

Get the Singaporemug. A totalitarian society where you can't chew gum.
A society where customer service does not exist.
A society that has homophobic laws.
A society that pressures people to die while studying.
A society where the citizens think they are good at speaking English when they are actually just... bad.
That's about it.

Get the Singaporemug. A country with its very own people being assimilated without it knowing. So much for "democratic society based on justice and equality." Where is the democracy and equality if people are being assimilated and everyone choosing the same choice? When person chooses to live in a rich lifestyle, should everyon sacrifice what they have for such too?
If every Singaporean live in a Condo, works hard and get high wages, pay high gov't taxes.....doesn't it sound like: COMMUNISM?

Get the Singaporemug. Singapore was a group of tribal women who are notoriously capable of using all your life savings in less than a minute. Singaporeans are women who feeds on gossips and jealously to evolve. What they have, others cannot have better. What they want to have, cannot be the same with what a rival has. What they want, they must all want it first and more. They also crawl up to Caucasian men (who are easier to manipulate) and use these men for advertising and bitching purpose, and of course to use up all their money. Slowly, it developed into a wealthy and developed country that is today thanks to their goddess, Kiasu, who lives on in the hearts of every Singaporean.
British: Damn man my Singaporean turned all my life savings to branded bags! She said it's a good investment and insurance! Fuck it, I can't eat bags!
American: Oh man you been owned dude. Maybe you can have mine from Vietnam, she is definitely low maintenance and a wise investor too. Thanks to her investment, I've got my 18th child now.
