Law : The law is here is by par one of the most strictly followed in the world.. Not jus major crimes but even tiny bits…. Isnt that sounds funny that if you don’t flush your toilet in the public place, you pay 500$ provided you get caught… Now where the hell is the CCTV cameras hidden ??? Other wierdos like you cant possess or sell a chewing gum, no littering, no jay walking (crossing roads with out signals) etc… Caning is most common punishment for any above average crimes (like pick pockets, loan sharks etc..)…. Remember Captains words ‘Thandanaigal kadumai aakinaal thaan kutrangal kurayum’ ; )
Tourist attractions : No way …. I am totally blanked out checking out cool places for tourists… The word cool has no meaning in hot and humid Singapore… for tourists, on my personal opinion, birds park is ok for its shows and well maintained outlook… Sentosa is a good change…. Nothing else is worth for an outsider travelling all the way to jus tour around…. Shopping should be attractive here but again not worth travelling all the way… may be one can have this as add on if they decide to tour around Malaysia... for me, Malaysia is a better tourist destination… but deftly not for living/safety standards etc…
Cost of living : Deftly not cheap at all… Still more than 50% of the population survives under 2500$ per month income… even though the economic balance is not as worst as india suffers, the cost of living is still a bit high for the 50% population…. However, the tax and cpf here are attractive enough to keep the dudes entertained as long as they live here…
Life style : Many are cruising towards the western way of living.. however, found many families still would like to stick with the conservative living with all the needed harmony to mingle with other races too… truly Singapore !!! if you plan to develop your career path as a gangster, dada to Don.. .you better be ready to P***S on your pants… sooner or later, the govt. will find you out to make u an offer that you cant refuse ; )
Activities : Now, this is the 2nd best part (did I told safety is the first) I like about Singapore… Cricket, Badmitton, Tennis, Kayaking, Trekking, Hiking, etc… you jus name It and I will show a place with in easy reach from your home in Singpore…
Transport : well connected Train network (ofcourse no match for the complexity of Indian railway network) and buses juggling, you will never be puzzled…. The taxis might be a bit expensive but strictly/accurately metered fare is something to cherish…
Hang outs : Pubs and dance floors are cheesy here (from what I heard) may b I am not intrsted any more… but bowling and snooker are my favourites (not getting time these days) … mostly get myself into Indian movies (in GV/Rex/Cathay/Jade cinemas) which u can spot in 2/3 km radius anywhere…
As a whole, the comfort of living in Singapore is subjective to the individual’s needs and intrests (any where in the world for that matter)… bear in mind, the hot & humid climate most of the year and strict laws sometimes p**s u off…

mmmmmmmmm.........As I never been to Singapore, I should agree for your comments. No other way. Anyway whenever I hear the word CLEAN your country (SG) will come into the picture. The same thing has given very least importance in my homeland (IN).
Most of our tax money will struck in the politicians A*** and will be sent on their party banners, allowances and their under garments. I don't know why the hell I am paying nearly 15 % of my salary as tax, as there are no improvements.
Why importance is not given to primary education?
Why government toilets are not maintained properly?
Why labors are paid very less and there is no security for their nature of job?
Why the hell criminals are there in politics?
Why still in the 21st century, people are trying to separate the group by different community?
Why so much of corruption is still flowing round? Why people are destroying nature for few bucks?
This whole bloody corruption starts from the top leader and rest of them chat his A** to satisfy him. BRIBE…BRIBE…BRIBE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t think this DEMOCRACY will solve the problem. We need a leader like HITLER!!!
We are the BEST but still we are not able to prove it…..VERY SAD….but still as optimistic I hope one day INDIA will be the example for everything(in a positive way).
