I'm sorry, come again? Fancy buildings don't mean shit.

Ingapore was only something after the British made it, to. The same with Hong Kong.

For example, Mallaca was a historical major trading port, before singapore.

They are the way they are now because they were made so. Not because of some random luck

And now compare singapore with the Malasya, Thailand, Brunei, Vitnam, Laos, Indonesya...

It's unfair to compare singapore with western countries, because singapore is still filled with shitskins

The examples of Singapore and Hong Kong show that there is no one economic system that is better than all the others. A state controlled economic system can be just as successful as a market system if the people in charge are highly adept at their jobs and technocratic. This is why countries like China, South Korea and Japan have gotten rich. Not by free market policies but state direction.

I guess being the best in the anus of the world is kind of a consolation prize.

Your island and people exist only to serve Western companies and men. Your own women literally think of you as disgusting, ugly, old-fashioned, while hunting for white men, who are refined, cultured and worldly.

But isn't Temasek 100% government owned, the sole shareholder?

>Singapore is big government though unlike Liberarians who claim small government is the only way best for capitalism

This is why I was interested in this. I was buying in to libertarianism as the best route for successful capitalism until I heard Singapore was very nationalised and had in some ways almost a socialist attitude.

So we shouldn't even be that worried about the concept of privatisation of the railway and such, it could be managed smartly.
