I have been to Singapore many many times. It has the best airport in the entire world. The airport is huge and yet they guarantee your luggage on the belt in 12 minutes. From walking off the plane, through immigration, through customs, and in a taxi is less then 15 minutes.
Singapore is Asia for beginners. Everyone speaks English, all menus and other signage is in English, shopping is great, and a very clean and safe place. Food is good, you can drink the water and everything is very efficient. Drugs are non existent. If you are caught with drugs you are tried and sentenced in 3 days. Usually the death sentence. Capital punishment works. And when the argument comes up about "capital punishment does not deter crime", have that person visit Singapore. You very quickly become a believer. They have the lowest crime rate in the entire world. And what crime they do have is not violent crime, more petty crimes.
They are a good example of a place where law and order, strictly enforced, makes a prosperous society.
