From a citizen: A relatively safe country as we have strict laws and practise a sensible approach to public liberty and freedom. One does not carry a knife with blade longer than 5cm or small arms in public. An assembly of more than five persons is also not legal. There has been no incidence of mass shootings, serial killing, etc. However do not take safety for granted ---it is better to go out at night with a partner and it is not recommended to go out drinking in sleazy spots after midnight.

I can say the same for Mobile, Al except for the ccw and knife part. 5cm is less than 2".

Just imagine how clean and safe American cities could be if we could punish our citizens the way they do in Singapore.

Over there if you spit on the sidewalk you can be whipped with a cane.That way you will learn not to despoil the environment again.

The article I saw said Biden was toting Chinese cities. Unfortunately Singapore is NOT in China. It is an independent city-state located at the end of the Malay Penninsula.

I the artical I saw mentioned Singapore,Not that it matters that much because I’m pretty sure things are even worse in China.They will probably shoot you there for spitting on the sidewalk.

Spitting could get you a fine, but not the cane.

In the months that I spent there, I only heard about one instance of caning, and that was for a guy who was stalking kids on the internet and making plans with them to meet for sex. There certainly could have been other instances, but it’s not a common thing like a lot of people think.

Strict laws strictly enforced leads to a low crime rate. But I think that they have a different definition of “freedom and liberty” than we do.

I’ve got some news for Biden: China SUCKS!!! The pollution, the noise, the SMELL, the litter and garbage are truly horrendous. Since he is always there in a limo he doesn’t have to find parking places (good luck with that), or maneuver thru the sea of motorcycles.

I’ve been to some of southern China’s premier tourist places, and was shocked at how these beautiful locations had been so completely defiled by the Chinese.

But since Joe is also a communist, he fits in well there. Go live there Joe, please!

Interesting screen name, surprised I haven’t noticed it before.

Did you know that Datura Stramonium produces the so-called “zombie cucumber” that is reputedly used along with pufferfish toxin to create zombies, lol?

Chinese cities are mostly filthy. People spit on the sidewalk big time. Trash blows through the streets.
