Singapore passes controversial 'fake news' law which critics fear will stifle free speech

I did a search and it says they are a democracy BUT they are one that doesn't have respect for some civil rights.

North Korea's full title is the DEMOCRATIC Peoples Republic of Korea.



East Germany called itself the DEMOCRATIC Republic of Germany.



The "Soviet" in the Soviet Union inferred that it was a democracy.



The first thing dictatorships try and do is convince the world it is a "democracy".



Singapore may call itself a democracy, but that does not explain why the same party has been in power since the 1960's.

Singapore has low taxes, and allows whoring. Fuck the rest.

A car in Singapore will cost you $150,000 because of the enormous tariffs, and you must dispose of it once it reaches 5 years old. EVERY car park in public and private property will cost you. Prices of fuel, alcohol and restaurants are MASSIVE. Major roads are tollways.  



Prostitution is illegal. Apparently.

Japan has environmental laws that look like they were written by the Japanese automakers..



It's cheaper to buy a new car than maintain an old one, and I mean six or more years old.

Here is what wiki says about prostitution in Singapore.



Prostitution in Singapore in itself is not illegal, but various prostitution-related activities are criminalized. This includes public solicitation, living on the earnings of a prostitute and maintaining a brothel. In practice, police unofficially tolerate and monitor a limited number of brothels. Prostitutes in such establishments are required to undergo periodic health checks and must carry a health card.

Like everything in Singapore, selling sex is regulated.

There is a reason why they call Singapore a fine city. Yes, there are fines for littering.

My cousin went there last year...



But years ago, possibly the 70s, my grandmother went there and she was a smoker and had to carry around a tiny tin ashtray that closed up. She was warned by authorities dropping butts meant a flogging....lol





I thought that was wonderful. I wished we had that law.
