My parents tipped me off to an article about Singapore in this month's National Geographic. More specifically, the article is about Lee Kuan Yew, the former prime minister and current "minister mentor" of Singapore. After reading the article, I think that that it does quite a good job of representing the current growing pains of Singapore, and the constant push and pull between government control and freedom of expression here. The article poses an interesting question: how does a country weigh the pros of government censorship and social control (low poverty, clean streets, safety, efficiency) against the natural cons?
Also, apparently Singaporeans have the least sex of anywhere in the world. Just a fun fact.
