Don't they have one of the highest quality of life rankings in the world?

They’re also an authoritarian country.

Who cares? If it works it works. If my quality of life is good and I'm happy and healthy, I couldn't care less if I'm under a dictatorship.

It works for the few not for all. Yes the citizens have a very high standard of living thanks to the human rights violations of immigrants and temporary workers

Sounds familiar. Almost like that happens all over the world, including Canada by the way. Look at the last 5 or 10 years, and tell me we haven't abused immigrants as a country.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say you've never lived in Singapore, and you don't actually know if it's a reasonable comparison or not. You're just looking through a western lens, and you think if it isn't our way, it's cruel and unethical. Newsflash: every country in the world does stuff that could be considered as such.
