The answer is race and using the best tactics learned from Israel’s military and country building alongside avoiding all the mistakes of Western democracies in the 20th century. Han supermajority means you have less open society and more conformity to rules + stricter laws and take less risks + the shame of corruption = less government stealing + we brainwashed the entire population since 1965 to fit a single mould. Our great lord Lee deliberately built a globalist state to take a well developed port into full on city metropolis. Look up his quotes on race and you might be further enlightened. Our media also censors the cases of corruption heavily, one of our MPs nearly sold our version of Tescos to the Fujian Mafia. Completely memory holed as he’s part of the ruling party. It’s also land. It’s much easier to clamp down on black markets and shadow economies when you’re the size of the Isle of Wight. That’s how big the country is. Great Britain is 4 countries worth of land, multiple ethnicities, heritages (Scottish/Irish/Welsh/Cornish/etc). No one would be able to grow drugs in Singapore when it’s so small. We have nothing but sweat, heat and air conditioning. This inspires an ant like behavior among the population where most will follow the rules because you’re in a fight flight state against the heat. It never ends. An oppressive sauna clouds the island like the grey fogs of England. There is only the path of the corporation and the ant’s nest - you circle the drain, or you drown in the heat. Give us 20 years brother you’ll laugh at how the decline happens. All countries eventually decay. The politicians here send their incel kids to the West to get woke indoctrinated and don’t even realise it. It will all fall down eventually. At least in the British isles you can sit in your damp conservatory as the piss cold rains down in the Spring while in Singapore you just get heat stroke in a coffee shop when the mercury hits 40c.

I always weep reading the Wikipedia pages of senior Singaporean politicians. The general career path seems to be: Excel at school and secure a scholarship to study some super difficult subject, like maths or physics, at Cambridge University. Excel at university and get a scholarship to do a post-grad degree in governance or an MBA at Harvard. Join the Singaporean military and excel. Reach at least the rank of Brigadier or General. Enter politics. Excel even compared with others who have similar CVs, rise to become a senior position. Compare that with the career path of the average senior British politican. Get the same results as every other middle class child at school. Do PPE or straight up politics at university. Leverage your contacts to become a SPAD for a cabinet or shadow cabinet member. Get a column writing gig at the Spectator, Economist or New Statesman Become a more senior SPAD. Run in an impossible to win seat to prove you really want to be in parliament. Get parachuted into a safe seat as a rising star. Get a junior ministerial position in the first reshuffle after the election. Get made a cabinet member after the next election. Now, why is Singapore an extremely well run country and we are not?

Hao. 👍 Let these Little Napoleons know if they overstep professional boundaries, they will be penalised. His job is to drive, not to police identity. Well done, Singapore!

The Great Singaporean Hollowing: Why Malaysia’s ECRL and Energy Dominance Just Turned the "Little Red Dot" Into an Overpriced Museum Malaysia is systematically dismantling Singapore’s historical monopoly as the region’s sole economic gateway through strategic infrastructure and energy sovereignty The East Coast Rail Link (ECRL), now over 92% complete, creates a high-efficiency "land bridge" that allows global shipping to bypass the Singapore bottleneck, potentially redirecting millions of tonnes of transshipment cargo between the South China Sea and the Malacca Strait As Singapore grapples with record-high fuel prices, with RON95 recently peaking at S$3.47, and rising electricity tariffs driven by West Asian conflicts, Malaysia’s domestic oil and gas reserves provide a critical "natural hedge" for its industrial sectors This widening cost gap is catalyzing a migration of power-hungry industries, such as AI data centers and advanced manufacturing, from land-scarce Singapore to the abundant and more affordable industrial zones in Johor and Penang The Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) further accelerates this shift through a "twinning" model, where multinational firms retain financial headquarters in Singapore while moving their physical operations to Malaysia to capture significant OpEx savings Simultaneously, the impending completion of the RTS Link is facilitating a "brain retraction“, as high-skilled professionals increasingly choose to reside in Malaysia’s lower-cost environment while continuing to anchor the integrated regional economy Ultimately, while Singapore remains a premier financial fortress, Malaysia’s structural advantages are forcing a reconfiguration that ends Singapore's era as the exclusive arbiter of Southeast Asian trade

@ShawnHerHer @MarcYong1 @CarlZha We were a fishing village and have progressed to a point where we boast a higher gdp per capita than the US. Likewise, there are US citizens who possess a backward mindset, especially those of your kind :)

@baoshaoshan SG always using some fake narrative and good marketing of how good and capable they are. A lot of lies. SG was the 1st NED base in Asia, HK was for CIA. NED is good at narratives and marketing. That's reason how SG rise is about, covered with marketing and lies

Weak article that doesn’t report that Sing gets 70-75% of feedstock via the Strait of Hormuz & allowed Wong to get away with a glib & vague remark about how Sing has diversified feedstock supplies. No details on actual agreement presented.

CNA Talking Point released a video about 2 weeks ago regarding the central centeen model being used in a few schools in Singapore. Think the video is a good example of how disconnected the director is from the students whom she is dictating what they can eat from her ivory tower

If Cheng Li-Wen actually leads the ROC to reunite with the PRC, she deserves the Nobel Prize. Being a pawn of the US empire: the US will sacrifice them on an altar to US power. If all of China reunifies, the world will be close to lasting peace.
tim anderson@timand2037

Leader of Taiwan's historic Kuomintang party Cheng Li-Wun has learnt the lesson of Ukraine and prefers Chinese unity to becoming yet another sacrificial pawn in a proxy war for US hegemony. Hence her recent visit to Beijing. channelnewsasia.com/east-asia/chin…
