And I considered moving to Singapore a couple times, if I get ever invited for a job there, I would promptly accept.
I don't agree with lots of their laws, but I must recognize that it works. (Singapore is clean, safe, has good business freedom, the government does not tolerate racism and religious hate, and the city has a very interesting functional design).

In a country where you are not allowed to openly criticize the ruling power, how can you even measure what people of Singapore really like?
Also, problematic countries also frequently have some dissenters, and people that managed to flee and speak against it while outside it.
Singapore don't forbid you to leave, and all people I ever talked that went to Singapore, or lived in Singapore but where outside Singapore, mostly only had praise for the country.
