Singapore is dependent on migrant labor to run most of their economy.
Matapobre people.
Don't let the corruption rate fool you. Streetfighting with swords a-waving in the streets and gang organizing is rampant in the underground, with the police not doing anything to stop it.
They only have an iron grip against migrant workers.
They also make shitty films unlike the rest of their neighbors
Ah one of the the oldest sigma male rules: "To make a capitalist economy you need to break some eggs, and by eggs I mean slaves." #grustle #grindset
Sword fighting is kinda cool ngl, but yeah the exploitation of migrant workers is fucked up.
I've never heard of anything like that
I mean theres probably loads of shit with like human trafficking and prostitution, which the authorities definitely do pretend doesnt exist but like open gang fights are just asking for arrests
Like its a country the size of NYC and literally ringed by CCTVs
I'm not the one who believes in geographical determinism, big dawg
is it "geographical determinism" to say that its harder to get away with shit in a small ass country?

Singapore shouldn't even exist.
Your points are right abt. geographical advantages, but it isn't the only factor, nor even the main factor itself.
