Singapore shouldn't even exist.

Your points are right abt. geographical advantages, but it isn't the only factor, nor even the main factor itself.

I'm not the one who believes in geographical determinism, big dawg

Singapore is dependent on migrant labor to run most of their economy.

Matapobre people.

Don't let the corruption rate fool you. Streetfighting with swords a-waving in the streets and gang organizing is rampant in the underground, with the police not doing anything to stop it.

They only have an iron grip against migrant workers.

They also make shitty films unlike the rest of their neighbors
