SINGAPORE, A FOOL’S PARADISE?

A velvet island in an iron glove

Synopsis

An ex-British colonial trading post, Singapour is a cosmopolitan and luxurious global city-state and garden city island, offering a wealth of attractions. However, it also has its downsides, with strict laws and penalties against a long list of activities.

Death penalty by hanging. No right to strike. Forbidden begging. The press under government control... Singapour is a velvet island in an iron glove.
