Singapore: The Singapore Solution
23 minutes, 1998
Ref: 169

This is a success story. Singapore's economy is hot, it's bigger and more prosperous than Britain. Unemployment is low, so are taxes. And their students outscore the world. In maths and science, most country's kids don't even come close. What's their secret? Rules, regulations, restrictions. In Singapore, they fine you for chewing gum, cane you for writing on the walls and execute you for selling drugs. Critics say that is a breach of civil rights. In Singapore, they call that survival. In this age of materialism, we examine the reasons why Singapore is such a success.
