Here's an article about Singapore from Sunday's edition of the New York Times:
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/16/world/asia/16iht-spore.html?hpw
It discusses Singapore's many 'campaigns', the most recent of which is the Singapore Kindness Movement. I was especially amused by this quote near the end of the article:
"...here in Singapore the law is very strong. They tell people to be kind, they must be kind. Cannot be rude.”
This quote embodies what I think is a quite typical Singaporean attitude - when the government tells you to do something, there's not really any point in resisting, because they'll just fine for it until you give in eventually.
