Singapore hangs third person for drug offences in little over a week

https://lemmy.world/post/2688027

Singapore has been ranked as the happiest countries in Asia and in the top 25 happiest in the entire world.

I find it rather hypocritical of people who have never been there, denounce the country but the residence who live there apparently are very happy.

Also, I’d be willing to bet that many of the people speaking ill of Singapore are also the type who would say you shouldn’t judge other cultures. Well that’s exactly what you are doing now.

I’ve never been there and I have little interest in going, but the people there have chosen those draconian laws and with them, they have incredibly low crime and drug use. So you might not agree with their laws, but you can’t disagree with the results, and the people there feel it is a tradeoff they are willing to live with.

So who the fuck are you to tell those people how they should rule their own country?

Singapore has not been voted happiest country. I have no idea where you are getting this info from.

Singapore has been constantly highlighted as most stressed, most unhappy and least satisfied.

You’re perfectly fine to take your complaint to the UN since apparently you know better. Apparently.

S’pore ranked happiest Asian country, 25th in the world

Do you agree?

I do know better. Better than the UN.

I live in this country.

5,449,999 other people seem to disagree. Take it up with them.

Based on the article, the variables that determined the scores were: Gross domestic product per capita Social support Health life expectancy Freedom to make life choices Generosity Perception of corruption

Let’s face it, these aren’t good indicators of happiness.
