Why I want to go to this place — 2 years ago
I really want to go to Singapore, but not until it is a democracy and the people have more freedom of political expression.

To be fair it was only 3 days.
I don’t think you know “Abbie Hoffman” and if you do you know my point. He was allowed in the USA, in much of the world he would just be killed/jailed/thrown to the wolves.
I’m not really sure how to reply to you as you basically make my case for me.

Well I don’t have to or need to know anything about any act of dissidents because I am simply not interested to learn or pick up any chaotic or negative lifestyle. Just so you know, we happen to have high respect for laws here as compared to the place or places you are in now or been before :)
Oh sorry to disappoint you, but I didn’t make your case because I was merely trying to be sacrastic :)
Obviously we do not share the same views about Singapore. But I live in the country and you don’t. I find it PRESUMPTIOUS on your part TO INSIST on swallowing the obviously biased literature that you have been fed about us.
But there is nothing wrong with agreeing to disagree. Just do not PICK US as a target. There are more than 150 countries out there, I dare say that only a handful would claim to enjoy peace and prosperity the way we do in Singapore. So go fly your kite or milk your toast in places that deserve your attention more than we do.
Just remember what “you think” is “right”, might not be right for us or others. Leave us alone and let us live our VERY peaceful life here as we certainly do not need you to visit us to stir up to any chaotic lifestyle which we had experienced in the good old days in the 1950s and 60s (when we first gained our independence)..SO if your mindset is stuck in the 50s and 60s, I really can’t help you. Till you have travelled much and grow a bit wiser and more positive, then perhaps come visit Singapore.
Oh another thing, this is a travel site, NOT POLITICAL site. Sorry to learn that you can’t even tell the difference, hence, I can’t expect you know the real good stuff in Singapore.
Oh ya, if you do make your way here some day, just remember that this is Singapore, not China or Soviet Union, as we are no where near them geographically, don’t mix up with the wrong country again :)
So if you excuse me now for I need to go enjoy my peaceful good life here in Singapore. Good luck in your “rebel” cause or search for the next country to target on!
