Density within cities, and a countries' population density are not comparable
1 comments

Singapore is 20x denser than India, and the entire country is just the city.
Singapore's police is omnipresent, powerful and "less corrupted" than its Indian counterpart.

It also seems to me that everyone in multi-ethnic Singapore tries hard to avoid any provocation, maybe because it wreak havoc during the 1960's.

Not that I appreciate a high population density or large population... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopold_Kohr#The_Breakdown_of_...

India is just poorer. Corruption is cheaper for the public than higher pay for cops. same reason irs doesn’t enforce taxes on tips in America.
