I’ll actually engage on this question … I’m assuming you’re part of the Iowa phag invasion and therefore haven’t seen me post this before ….
In my previous career I travelled extensively. I’ve been on every continent except Antarctica. Most of my trips would last 1 to 2 weeks. Back in 2016 I spent 17 days in Singapore. It was such a great experience. Anywhoozie, on approach the flight attendants handed out immigration forms and I noticed at the bottom on the form it said in capitalized bold red letters “DRUG TRAFFICKING IS PUNISHABLE BY DEATH”.
I thought that was interesting, so during one of my meetings I asked one of my colleagues about it and they confirmed … ya if you’re caught with a nickel sized amount of Heroin, you’re done. No rehab, no house arrest, no second chances, no ******** … you’re done.
in the 17 days I was there, I didn’t hear a single police siren. Major metropolitan city, a diverse population in the millions… and there is virtually no crime at all.
