How has Singapore became one of the most developed Asian countries?

You need no economists or a genius to answer. If you have a minute to spare—I doubt if CHATGPT can answer better than this… Here is my answer:-

  • Singapore learned from the mistakes of other Asian countries and the shortcomings of Asian people in general. Then compared it with European countries and made it better. Singapore produced ‘White Papers’, namely:-

: If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys. Singapore makes the Prime Ministers, ministers, and all civil servants the highest paid in the world. Singapore can get angels in a human body like you and me on the job.

: “ 1968 Keep Singapore Clean” is the first policy. The rationale is —” That a cleaner community would lead to a more pleasant life and keep morale high and sickness rate low, thus creating the necessary social conditions for higher economic growth through industry and tourism.”— Only Heavy FINES can get the policy to work as Singaporeans are no angel.

: FINES and more fine is the only solution, “bankruptcy” is the mother of motivation.

: Make a Garden City- (not garden in the city) “ with abundant lush greenery and a clean environment to make life more pleasant for the people. I. e. to be able to live, work, and pay willingly.

: To rid of garbage from the West, like chewing gums, Cosmopolitan magazine, freedom of the press & media. To ban ‘em, to sue ‘em and to jail ‘em -’ em’ are those ‘son of a gun’

: A joke of the day is freedom of speech. A joke of the century is democracy.

: No place for mafias, gangsters, no phrases like “ Do you know who my father is?- Do you know who I am? “ I know the Prime Minister, ministers, and the top cop, you know or not?”

Law is sacred, and law enforcement plays a crucial role in maintaining public safety, upholding the rule of law, and ensuring the security of communities.

: Corruption must be rooted out. A free F1 race ticket is evil as bad as a free bottle of wine for the ministers in the hampers, worse, though, during the holiday seasons.

D.R.U.G. is a four-letter word that “Disneyland” doesn’t have. Getting ‘em all hanged is the only solution for any violators… ‘Disneyland with the death penalty’ seems to be a fitting slogan.

Karl Benz and Henry Ford invented automobiles and cars to make life worth living and Singapore made it better by making it ‘ the most expensive to own in the world and that attracts only the ‘super-rich’ —by making their lives worth living and are kings of the road, while the not-so-rich enjoy the mass transport in a world-class sardines-like, and name it- MRT.

: What is impossible is made possible in Singapore—Being the most expensive country on this planet Earth and at the same time, being the happiest people on Earth… Even God is speechless!

As a minute as promised is over—Do you want me to go on some more?
