Today we uncover 10 shocking facts about Singapore that will leave you in awe. Without further ado, lets get started with the video.

I'm a Singaporean, and this report made me laugh! The author/producer has missed out SO many unique features of Singapore, like: 1. More than 80% of Singaporeans live in public housing, in clean, green and amenities and facilities filled housing estates all around the island. The video only showed the shopping and business centre's of Singapore, completely omitted any mention about the most elaborate and successful public housing scheme in the world, resulting in almost ZERO homelessness in the country. 2. Singapore has one of the best, if not the best, public transportation system in the world, providing connectivity via public transport to EVERY part of the island. 3. Eating out is SO very common in Singapore, with hawker centre's and food courts all over the Island providing delicious, nutritious and very affordable food in a variety of Asian and Western cuisines. 4. It is one of the safest countries in the world, with an extremely low crime rate, and a VERY high level of personal safety. It is completely safe for ladies (not just anybody) to return home alone in the very late hours of the night, without ANY fear of personal harm of any kind. In reality, the video has really done a half-baked job, only providing a skewed view of Singapore, perhaps just to pander to an American audience.

The household might seem very high but it paid over 20 to 30 years and doesn't meant everyone here have so much deposable income. Walking fast is something might something ingrain in us but it's really much. The caning is not that common but for more problematic crime. Furthermore, it's cane with a rotan and not a cane and it's not just bend over to do it.

[@razjackson5825]

They don't look too shocked. None of these items are really that shocking, especially if you understand the rationale behind them and the real outcomes that've come of them. For example, national service goes waaaay beyond just the surface purpose of providing 'defence'; it enables the country to remain sovereign and neutral. Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark and Finland all have national service too, and historically are well known to be neutral countries (until recently for some of them). It turns out to be incredibly profitable and liberating and free to be neutral - you aren't bound to any external alliances and obligations. And the access to clean water and sanitation part is actually one of the most important, universally recognised human right, and there are many in the world who do not have access to it. It's not just a whimsical thing to do with some 'obsession' you think Singaporeans have with clean toilets. They are advocating and trying to turn it into international law in order so that governments globally can be held to account to provide such a fundamental right that many especially in poor countries lack access to.

Beneath the indifferent expanse of the world's geography lies a tapestry woven with the threads of human despair and fleeting triumphs. Mountains stand as solemn witnesses to the passage of time, their peaks untouched by the fleeting concerns of the villages that cling to their slopes, where generations struggle against the harsh elements. Rivers carve relentless paths through the land, oblivious to the civilizations they nourish and destroy, as cities rise and fall along their banks, each one a testament to humanity's fragile ambition. In the vast, desolate deserts, the shifting sands whisper tales of forgotten empires and lost souls, where once-thriving communities are now reduced to ruins, buried beneath the relentless march of time. The people who traverse these landscapes, with their dreams and despairs, are but momentary disturbances in the Earth's silent, eternal void.
