3. Greatest living politician

No one in Singapore, regardless of political stripe, has anything but a healthy respect -- perhaps even awe -- for Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew. He led Singapore to independence in 1965 and served as its first Prime Minister for 31 years, setting the record as the world's longest-serving Prime Minister. He's the architect of Singapore's present prosperity, laying a foundation of nation-building which has taken Singapore from a sleepy little island to one of Asia's most developed states, despite its small population, limited space and lack of natural resources.

5. First and only Night Race in the world

Singapore is the first F1 venue to host a night race on its streets, and will do so for several years to come. The inaugural race in 2008 also earned the city-state an unfortunate distinction for being the one in which Team Renault boss Flavio Briatore ordered Nelson Piquet to crash, giving teammate Fernando Alonso the win. It's now known as the Singapore 'Crashgate' scandal -- which might lend some cred to Singapore's squeaky-clean image.

14. You don’t expect to get mugged or knifed at 3am in our darkest alleys

Singapore has a crime rate so low, ladies stroll without fear in the wee hours of the night. Neil Humphreys, a UK-born columnist who planned to visit for three months and ended up staying for almost 10 years, commented on how safe the island state was in his book, Notes from An Even Smaller Island. And contrary to Western opinion, there's no strong police presence poised to cane anyone for spitting, chewing gum or scratching cars.

40. Iconic buildings inspired by nocturne sex

Beijing has its Bird's Nest Stadium. Taipei has its Bamboo Skyscraper. And Singapore has the Durian Theaters. The waterside Esplanade Theatres on the Bay were designed to express harmony with nature, reflecting the balance of yin and yang. But they've, instead, been compared to the eyes of flies, copulating aardvarks and Chinese dumplings. Locals just call them the "Durians."

43. Most complex coffee ordering procedure ever

Everyday, in kopitiams (local coffee shops) all over Singapore, coffee stall attendants with bellows for lungs yell out drink orders in the most perplexing code this side of the Causeway. "Kopi-o peng gao jit puay" means one iced thick coffee without milk and less sugar, while "teh-si siew dai sua neng puay" means two cups of tea with condensed milk and less sugar. Don't bother, most Singaporeans just place their drink orders in plain ol' indecipherable Singlish.

50. Cutest appellation for a country

The Lion City. The Garden City. The Asian Tiger. The 'Fine' City. All venerable nicknames, but the perennial favorite has to be the Little Red Dot. We're so small and unnoticeable on the world map, some dusty cartographer with Harry Potter specs had to use a red dot to denote our location. But notice us the world did, with accolades such as the 'easiest place for business,' the 'most livable city in Asia' and the 'best city in the world to live in for Asia expatriates.' We are Singapore, hear us roar.

Majulah Singapura!!!

Ohh pls don't give me the usual PAP propaganda that LKY turned Spore from a sleepy fishing village into a modern dynamic city crap shit..

You're another dumb fuck PAP cocksucking fanboy ..

The sweat and tears of the past generation of Sporeans that helped make Spore into a big success story.. Economic advisor Albert Winsemius also played a major role in helping shape the Spore's economy with his sound advice.. Don't just give credit to that Old Scumbag LKY.. He was just plain lucky that he had many good capable people around him during the early days of our break up from Malaysia..

Old Scumbag Lee Kuan Yew is a scum and will forever be a scum to me.. Pls do not praise him to high heavens as if he's a Deity.. He's a scumbag that had ruined the lives of many of his political opponents and their families..

For these, he deserved the title '' The Scumbag of Modern Spore ''...

 

[Equalisation]

Brother, I also wish I can get my money at 55. But at the rate I am going and at the rate things are moving, I think I will get nothing...sad man.

 

[kopiuncle]

The good things in Singapore outweigh the not so good things. I hope our enlightened leaders will weigh all these and give us a happy solution to the many complicated problems. I pray and hope that things will be better for Singaporeans.

From what I can see, the future looks bleak and grim. But we will be able to pull through - hopefully.

Patently false. I've nothing but contempt for him.

He led Singapore to independence in 1965

Led Singapore to independence? Then why the fuck did he cry if he intended to liberate Singapore? He should be jumping for joy! Crocodile tears perhaps? By the way, he himself said that it was Goh Keng Swee who took charge of the negotiations and made the decision to separate. So much for leadership eh?

He's the architect of Singapore's present prosperity

What were the designs of this "architect"? I keep hearing these trite praises for him. What exactly did he do that was so pivotal to the relative success of Singapore?

to one of Asia's most developed states, despite its small population, limited space and lack of natural resources.

Well, in terms of GDP per capita, Singapore isn't even among the richest 15 countries in the world. The top three countries, Monaco, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, have more than 2 times the GDP per capita of Singapore while having small populations, limited space, lack of natural resources and the lack of the strategic location on major sea lanes that Singapore enjoys.
