What's nice about Singapore is they employ common sense beating laws. Did something stupid? That's a beating. Illegal immigrant? Beating. Thief? Beating. Incompetent bureaucrat? Yup, yes again, beating. I have a feeling Americans would take to beating laws very well, many would be eager to serve as beaters of incompetent bureaucrats. Fascinating history though. They got kicked out of Micronesia in 1969, much similar to if the US just punted Detroit out of the US and it became the city-state of Detroit - in both cases drug-addled economic failures. The Mayor at the time, Kown Lee, cried on TV he was so distraught, then pulled together a stiff upper lip, and he said, "The beatings will continue until Singapore improves" and they've been delivering beatings, all day, every day, since then. |

Never knew I'd see the day when Malaysia would be confused with Micronesia.

Or Lee Kuan Yew with some random named Kown Lee.
