Why?
Because beating people with canes for spraying graffiti — is going to piss off the population sooner or later.
I spent a week in Singapore 12 months ago, and came away impressed with this city-state. Amazingly clean, modern, crime free city, with more jobs than there are citizens.

Or stop them from acting like low life slime balls
You vill not chew chewvink gum — or you vill pay zee consequences!
Every person I met and talked to in Singapore, and I am a very talkative person, is very happy with how the country is run. I struck up conversations in restaurants, my hotel, and on buses.
Of course they are happy...there are 40% more jobs available in Singapore than there are citizens. And every 6th citizen is a millionaire. That is one of the highest concentration of wealth, if not the highest.
Vandalize somebody's car or home and you get your backside vandalized by the law. It seems like pretty fair justice to me.
It was very nice to work in a place where taxes are low, you get to keep most of what you earn and it is basically safe to go anywhere at anytime. Every able-bodied Singaporean of military age also serves in the reserve, much like the Swiss.
IIRC....can one be arrested for spitting?
“with more jobs than there are citizens.” That is because they hold this to be true: 2 Thess. 3:10: For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. I have a friend who owns a prime pizza restaurant in the the city/state. Their workers are imported from the US.
” For example, it flies the latest version of the F-15, a fighter jet so lethal the U.S. has sold it only to four other nations: Israel, Japan, Saudi Arabia and South Korea. “
Wow. Sounds like we need to replace every F-35 with that F-15 version.
One in seven Singaporeans is a millionaire.
Sounds like their system has worked very well so far.
Singapore also entered into strategic partnership with the USA, hosting Naval assets when the Philippines closed Subic Bay.
“Geriatric lives matter!”

Singapore is actually smaller than New York City. I wonder where they keep all those tanks.
You may have been impressed by the way they keep order, but you weren’t chewing a stick of Juicy Fruit gum at the time, which is illegal there.
