[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just got back from Singapore.

I had my bag searched/xrayed and was put through a metal detector and wander before boarding the subway.

The newspaper had articles that explained how you would be jailed if you so much as wore an article of clothing taking a position on the Hamas, Israel war.

When I left, the pat down at the airport wasn’t messing around. Like, he should have bought me dinner first, you know?

But it’s a safe, multicultural society of course. Just don’t confuse it with being free. [/b][/quote]

This.  Also, make sure none of your kids ends up being gay.  [/quote]

Oh wow. SO MUCH MORE REASON TO VISIT FIRST and check out the actual schools you'd be considering.  I had no idea it was THAT oppressive there, that is frightening. Technically probably "very safe", but only for those happy with the status quo/mainstream.  I wouldn't make that move, and my daughter speaks Mandarin and though they don't speak it all that much there even though it's 1 of 4 official languages for Singapore, I'd been excited to visit.  Now... not so much.[/quote]

Homosexuality is legal in Singapore. Do your actual homework instead of just believing what people post on the internet. [/quote]

My reaction was actually to the poster just back from Singapore saying it's ILLEGAL to wear or publicly talk about opinions on the Isreal/Palestine war.  But yes that quote about not being gay was what showed up as the most recent post.[/quote]
