If Singapore's economic and social policies were successful, surely people would want to move there? Perhaps skepticism is warranted from teh evil republicanz - the subject of this submission, decriminalization of drug use, was touted largely by left-wingers based on a few similar, seemingly-successful, small-scale efforts in Europe. Now we know how that turned out.

Many people do want to move to Singapore, and follow through with it. The population is over 40% immigrants.

Yes, this is not a hypothetical. Are you under the impression that people don't want to move there?
