Be sure to visit the Marina Bay Sands hotel/casino. Ride the elevator up to the roof and check out the infinity pool and the 360 degree view over the bay and much of Singapore. Enjoy experiencing life in a well run and lawful society, no doubt in part thanks to caning and the death penalty. I seriously doubt young thugs would last for long if they tried playing the "knock out" game there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore

Singapore has no minimum wage in order to stay competitive. It has among the highest income disparity among developed countries. It does not have a generous welfare system but provides assistance for the truly needy.
