What a shame such a beautiful city is plagued with tyrannical bureaucrats
They have ALWAYS been that way for the last 10 years or more. IMO it started during the Obama era, before that Singapore was not such a "beautiful desirable city" that so many people aspire to visit.
These days, barely anyone remembers that meme and everyone, even on GAW and The Donald, thinks that Singapore is a "desirable utopia perfect city what Western countries need to strive to be".
Hate to break it to you but you got rekt by their massive brainwashing/propaganda machine. And newsflash, that desirable beautiful city is a WEF 15 minute city pilot hiding in plain sight.
Most people in Singapore don't own their homes (they rent them from the government for 99 years). Search term "Singapore HDB"
Everyone in Singapore "owns" their cars but they have to pay 75-100k every 10 years just to drive it around. Search term: "Singapore COE"
Most people in Singapore don't own their own bodies. 90+% vaccination rate during COVID, many people are boosted 1, 2 even 3 or more times. Search terms "Trace Together" (vaccination discrimination app tied to central government database), "VDS" or "Vaccination Differentiated Safe management" (propaganda term for vaccination discrimination)
And to think I was planning to visit there after I leave college. What a shame such a beautiful city is plagued with tyrannical bureaucrats.

They've done an EXCELLENT job with marketing and propaganda to counteract the "Disneyland with a death penalty" meme from decades ago https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disneyland_with_the_Death_Penalty
