I can show an example otherwise - the PM of Singapore saying no to Bill Clinton when he asked the Singapore authorities to not impose corporal punishment on an American citizen (caught for vandalizing cars).

Singapore is not just dependent on the US. It depends heavily on China too. Defense wise, Singapore has one of the strongest forces in the region.

And most millionaires in Singapore are Singapore citizens.

Singapore's status is not just some offshore tax haven, as seen by many in the west. It has a diversified economy.
