Singapore is clean and people live well enough but there is absolutely no heart and soul to that place. It’s a concrete and glass wasteland with no character. I don’t want to live in a place like that.
Maybe so, but I don't think it has anything to do with their policies towards drug dealers.
No character?
Few cities outside of New York and London have such varied and high-quality dining options as Singapore.
Because it is a port city that has basically been built from the ground up starting in the 1960s it does not have quaint old buildings, or picturesque temples, or stunning natural vistas, etc.
All its architecture is modern as a result, so it certainly doesn't have the appeal of Bali or old Hong Kong.
But it has its other charms - mostly food and musical performances.
Agreed. The only interesting part of town is Newton's Circus or a few yards along Boat Quay Rd between S Bridge Rd and the Esplanade. The rest is sterile & boring. Aside from the crime there is little difference in housing between Singapore and any public housing development in Brooklyn. And forget about owning a car.
