I really don't think that Singaporeans miss it.
For a place that is regarded by some snivel libertarians as repressive, I've always found it to be a great place. It's certainly a better place than when Lee Kwan Yew introduced his new plan for Singapore 40 years ago.
The people are infinitely richer, it's cleaner and safer.
