The Reason Why Singapore Is Beautiful

Singapore is a beautiful and well maintained because they are so strict on crime, and that's why the US is struggling.

I’m a Singaporean meaning I’m from Singapore! Born and bred here. I’m stoked to hear this about my beautiful country! Thank you for acknowledging this Matt, been following you for the longest time. Love your commentaries.

Someone mentioned the Michael Fay incident that occurred in 1994. I remember it vividly although I was only 10 when it happened. Yes we do not condone any form of vandalism. You do the crime, you do the time. As simple as that.

Drug traffickers are sent to the gallows and our ‘draconian laws’ and harsh punishments are one of the reasons why my country has one of the lowest crime rates in the world. We can walk out on the streets alone at night with no fear of anything untoward happening to us ladies. We pride ourselves on being a safe haven.

You are right Matt, we don’t lock our doors at night. Just last week, I was careless enough to leave my wallet in my car that was parked outside my house and it was still there 2 days later. Cash and credit cards were all intact. Mind you I forgot to lock my car.

My wife and I visited Singapore a few years back for our 30th anniversary, by far this was the best vacation we had ever taken. I love Singapore.

I am singaporean. I met a guy who was arrested for robbery with a knife. Although no one was hurt, he was sentenced to several years in prison and canned 4 strokes. When he got out i was interviewing him for a job. And he told me frankly he had been in prison and caned for armed robbery. I thanked him for his honesty. What he said next surprised me. He said he would never do what he did again...he wasn't afraid of jail time but the caning was something he would NEVER want to go through again. He told me he blacked put after the first stroke of the cane and the can split the skin off his tail bone and blood spurted out. He had to be stitched up...rested for a few days and the canning continued for the remainder 3 strokes! He could not seat on his butt for days and would sleep face down. He said he feared the caning more than his time in jail!

I’ve been to Singapore multiple times, and as an older traveler, its safety is one of the main draws. Wandering around in a major world city late at night to enjoy the balmy climate, street stalls, and clean environment is an activity I wouldn’t be caught dead doing in the USA.

As a Singaporean, I applaud your very good explanation of why our laws exist (compared to a lot of western media who tend to demonize our "draconian" laws). Completely agree.

Edit: A lot of people in the comments take the chewing gum law in a weird way. It's not illegal to chew gum. It's only illegal to import/sell chewing gum or litter with it. Reason being chewing gum based littering was very very rampant before the law passed decades ago. Public buttons, stairs, buses, trains, everywhere. Worst ones were cases of public train (i guess americans call it subway?) door sensors malfunctioning due to gum plastered over them, causing delays. The ban may seem excessive but we can all agree that it's been very effective to deal with our very specific problem. It goes hand in hand with our littering laws to maintain clean streets. You can still get gum from a doctor or pharmacist if you need them (e.g. nicotine gum).

The problem is that some aren't scared of death until they face it, but everyone is scared by pain because everyone has already tried it.

[breathout]

Totally agree with this one Matt. Here in the UK it’s even worse than the US regarding crime and punishment. If you defend yourself, family or property from attack, you are often punished more than the criminal..

Singaporean here, I was born in the 60's. Back then, my country wasn't like what it is today. It wasn't safe to go out at night. We have violent crimes e.g., gang violence, kidnappings, extortion, gun violence, murders, racial tensions, on & on. We were also living in poverty, unemployment, dirty... slams everywhere & the list went on. But things soon changed for the better after Mr. Lee Kuan Yew & his lieutenants took over. Laws were implemented, called them strict or whatever doesn't matter as the nation embark on the journey of change for the better. Long story short, here we are today... a beautiful & amazing island home. Safe, clean & you name it... To the outside world, Singapore is strict, controlled on & on... But after travelling around the globe. I must say Singapore top others in many things in so many ways. Yes, we're still fixing things. Will we go back to the life like back in the 50's, 60's or 70's. I don't think so... To us (maybe not all of us) it's place we called home. Comparing the life I had in the past & now... Yes, it's an expensive city. But not everything is costly. I love Singapore.

My wife and I were in Singapore in July and September. The crystal at Changi international airport is stunningly beautiful, and proof of what people can do when they live in a low crime and highly intelligent society that rewards innovation.

As a Malay Singaporean (native Singaporean) (ignore the name), I must say Singapore is tough and ruthless when it comes to drugs and crimes in general. But thx to that we have an extremely safe country, as it deters people from doing crime. Baik ah Singapore.

I'm a singaporean! I'm so happy that matt is talking about many of the laws in Singapore. The "left" in Singapore disagree on the harsh punishments here but I'm glad there are still many people here who are supportive of the harsh but yet effective punishments! like Lee Kuan Yew (our ex prime minister) once said drugs can destroy hundreds and thousands of families, one death is too kind. Because you are killing that family everyday for years, and years when the child is also an addict.

Born in Singapore 1965, I slept under the dining table till I was 11 as the apt was tiny for a family of 6. We were so broke. It was like this for most families back in the day. From that till what you see today in less than 1 lifetime. What a ride!

As a conservative American living in Singapore is great to see how many Singaporeans watch Matt Walsh. Please warn your friends not to blindly follow the US legacy media narrative and warn people not to follow the woke.

This was the BEST. I lived in Singapore for 4 years and they are the MOST memorable days of my life. I was at peace when my daughter wanted to be out late night to a concert because i knew she would be safe. It is the safest place i have even been too and its a heaven for parents who have daughters and where they don’t worry about their safety. I have NEVER seen a drunk on the street as they have laws for that too. Drunk and bad conduct due to it is a serious crime there and it does not go unpunished. As for things being safe- i once forgot my purse with all my credit cards and money in a shop, the lady of the shop ran after me frantically to give back my purse and found me quite far away from her shop . She found me because she had seen me carrying a balloon to her store and that balloon was what helped her identify me. Can’t imagine anywhere else in the world that it would have been returned to me.

No matter what people complain about their harsh punishment, that’s the only place i trust to keep me and my daughter safe.

PS: they also don’t consider 18 year olds as adults (which is great for many many reasons namely when teenagers make mistakes, they are let off with less harsh but memorable punishments but something that stays with them forever, helping them stay out of trouble at an adult age), a person is considered an adult at 21.

I have so much of material on how AMAZING Singapore is 😅

I moved to Singapore from LA 17 years ago. I don't mind not having a gun or living in a house with backyard or owning a car because my family's safety means everything to me.

My wife is in Malaysia on holidays and I'm in Sydney working. She asked me to fly up next week so we can spend a week in Singapore together on her way home. There's a very simple reason why I said yes.

As part of my job I visited Singapore for a week last year. It was my first time out of the country, and one week in singapore was more than enough to fully realize just how much of a third world country the United States of America really is.

[xtinahay]

I’ve been to Singapore several times & I loved it each time I go. So safe, clean & beautiful. Singapore tourism board should pay you for inadvertently promoting everything that’s good in their country.

One of my good friends, lives in Singapore. I almost moved there a few years ago; I am tired of the homeless, drug addicted, mental patients roaming free, here in San Francisco. Singapore looks like a utopian paradise relative to ANY city in the USA.
Their laws are great, and I see nothing, NOTHING wrong with how they treat CRIMINALS.
Peace. 🐰🇺🇸💙🎸🎶🤝✌️

Jan 2020, I was out of the country for 10 days, came back & realised I forgot to lock my car. Everything was there as I hv left it; no cards or coins missing. That moment was so thankful & proud as Singaporean 🇸🇬
