Yes it's pretty special! Although I do feel a sense of dread whenever I'm hanging out in that country. About free-speech.. not really. There was this kid who's getting lots of crap from the government from talking down on the leaders. And he was only 15/16 when it all started.

    I agree about the sense of dread. Anti-social behaviour is not permitted in Singapore. The fine for littering is $250. Jaywalking, spitting, and smoking in government offices are also fined $250. Gambling, except for the state lottery, is illegal. The punishment for drug trafficking is death. SCARY!!

    P.S. I'm surprised the #singapore tag is not bigger on Steemit as a result!
