Any so-called freedoms they enjoy were granted by their governments, and could be (and have been) rescinded overnight. And what we have differs how?

I've been to Singapore. Except for very very high car taxes, the government stays out of your life. You can have a truly private bank account, and, being a small island with a well-traveled population, the government knows it's futile to try to hold Singaporean's money hostage, so they don't.

The Singaporean citizens are armed with what, knives and forks?

As trampled underfoot as the 2nd Amendment might be, it's still there. That's how.
