It's not a good place to be an opposition member, and having posted this, I'm unlikely ever to be welcome there again.

On my one visit to Singapore, I was shocked when the taxi driver taking me back to the airport was very open in his criticisms of the government. I always try to walk through some regular residential neighborhoods when visiting a new country and it seemed like a middle-class European city in what I observed. I doubt I got anywhere near where the somewhat-infamous worker barracks are (Hungary was quite a contrast - the touristy core of Budapest is OK, but get out to the suburbs or the countryside on the train to Vienna, and it looks very poor).

Flying in to Singapore gave a good view of the vast amounts of ocean freight stacked up in the strait, and it seemed pretty clear where their historical wealth came from.
