Before I left for Singapore, Kim kindly sent me a link he'd found on the net, to a text called Disneyland with the Death Penalty, which I read with delight.

And Singapore really is a Disneyland - no drugs (death penalty), no sex on TV or in movies (cut, blurred out and silenced), no homosexuality officially (criminalized still), no unmarried mothers (they don't get any support), not much drinking either (expensive) - a very idyllic facade with people interested only in earning money and shopping.

Fortunately there are a few dissidents though, and websites like Yawningbread and TalkingCock.

A lot could be said about Singapore's political system - but that wouldn't be very relevant in a profeminist blog.
