      @Invictus maneo PaxAmericana I think I read that they use 40% of land for green space. And what do you mean with the lost of individuality? East - Southease Asian culture is revolved around family. Duty to the family before individuality as far as I know. I think asians already found a balance between individuality and everything else.

      Singapore was essentially a benevolent dictatorship under Lee Kuan Yew for decades after independence. This was a non-trivial contributor to sustainable long-term planning and development in the city-state. The contrast is stark compared to Hong Kong's plutocratic rule by wealthy developers and mandarins from London and now Beijing.

America is the richest country on the planet and it is a shame that we do not even attempt half of these policy’s and projects. Such a beautiful thing to see a country that strive for innovation first, and not profits above all else like the US has.

    As a Singaporean, I would recommend Singapore as a great place to visit and if possible to stay for a few months, soak in the innovative vibe and take in as many ideas as you can. But like Japan, be forewarned the pace is intense. As days turn into months and months turn into years, it will wear you out. There is always someone better after your job, some other company trying to destroy yours. If you get a good business running, it is tempting to run it 7 days a week. The money can be good. Taxes are low. The time will come when you will yearn for less crowds and more wide open spaces and your own space, and this city living will become a pleasant curse. Pleasant because it is safe and clean and how long you want to tolerate it before it drives you crazy.

But it is also because most of them do not have to worry about food / shelters, and thus they can focus on doing what they love. That's why it's important for a country to help all their citizens get sufficient education and minimize the amount of poorer households so that everyone can focus on other things.

    Also to note: Elon Musk tried to make a TESLA partnership with Singapore. However Singapore declined that partnership. Elon assumed that Singapore was "opposing alternative vehicles" as our income would rely on fossil fuels. However, we hit back hard with the data that individual electric vehicles is less of a movement to protect the environment and instead a way to capitalise on the fact that it is a "Lifestyle" and that it would be more effective to have a Mass-Public Transport system that could reduce the number of vehicles, and there could also eventually be alternatively powered public transport as well.

The combination of the collective disposition of its native people and those who choose Singapore to live in, together with the government tools that strive for the country's general modernity, is what makes Singapore such a wonderful gem. Besides being one of the most amazing places to go sightseeing, it's a magnificent place to think about living forever.

The details found in this documentary is highly educational and informational which perhaps many wouldn't have known even if they live in Singapore. Singapore is not perfect by any measure, and so is every other city out there. Nevertheless, Singapore's achievements are remarkable relative to many other cities. I am proud to be Singaporean (in a humble way) and the amazing feats we have achieved thus far while we continue to push the boundaries of possibilities to surpass previous milestones. Kudos and heartfelt appreciation to the SG government, all Singaporeans as well as all the talented and hardworking foreigners living and working in Singapore, who have contributed extensively to this amazing city.

      Most of what Singapore does as a society/government is not innovated in Singapore, but LEARNT from other nations. They then bring it back to the country, debate on how best to use this in a way that works best in our society, and implement it. This is something that Singapore's leaders have said time and again. IMO the most important thing is not innovation, but implementation. Hope you get a chance to visit Singapore someday!

    It's important to take notice that what underlies and supplies the funding for all this public and private research is capitalism. Singapore ranks consistently as the second most economically free nation in the world. The government does a superb job in protecting property rights, facilitating free trade, and keeping the overall regulatory burden low while still enforcing pollution control guidelines. It is so remarkable to see what can happen in a "start up culture" such as Singapore, where people have the freedom to innovate.
    If only more of the world's countries would follow Singapore's model. The world would be a richer, healthier, and cleaner place.

      it’s also usually illegal to protest without government consent. Many of the laws from back then are still in place. I should have said it’s still focused on economic growth but have given a little more voice to the citizens. It’s a great place to visit, but to live is a different story. High land costs and troublesome laws. This is an excerpt from the constitution “parliament may restrict the right to freedom of speech, assembly or association if it’s necessary or expedient in the interest of the security of Singapore”. They’ve given so much power to the Prime minister so all these are very accessible to him even though it says parliament decides. I couldn’t care about lgbt but things like these are still illegal in Singapore, and companies who support these have been suppressed from holding events.

      Angela Wall its a lot easier to develop one city than an actual country. Same thing with the UAE, Qatar, kuwait etc. Their small, uniform countries so its really easy govern and develop.

      Piatequila ik the us system is flawed, but forcing people into prison camps is arguably worse than giving people handouts. Also uae, qatar, and kuwait are tiny, authoritarian countries, so yes, crime has to be lower.

    Singapore kind of development happens across globe when you don't show racism and discriminate people based on religion, caste, race and region , Singapore has Hindu Tamils, Muslims , Buddhists, Christians and ethnic Chinese 👍👍
