Singapore hangs third person for drug offences in little over a week
Singapore hangs third person for drug offences in little over a week
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?
Here is a link to the World Happiness Report website with the list for 2023. Singapore is 25th overall, which is ten spots behind the United States. I also took the liberty of averaging out the total from the available years of the World Happiness Index on Wikipedia, and you can see that information below:
2023 - 25th
2020 - 31st
2019 - 34th
2018 - 34th
2017 - 26th
2016 - 22nd
2013 - 30th
Average from the 7 available years of available Wikipedia Data (rounded up) - 29th
