As a true blue Singaporean in his late 60s, I would like to debunk the common myth and believe by foreigners that Singapore lacks freedom of speech. In my entire life living in Singapore (apart from living in the USA, Shanghai, Hongkong for 25 years in total) I was never once arrested, reprimanded, or stopped from criticizing certain of our government's policies and/or elected members of parliament on popular social media. We believed in criticism that can be substaniated with facts and shunned fabricated populist opinions (under the guise of so-called freedom of speech) on any social media. And regarding capital punishment, you can conduct a pole at any given time, and likely you will have the majority of Singaporeans supporting this deterrent measure against severed crimes conducted by an individual. Coporal punishment is being upheld to deter uncivilised conduct such as rape and vandalism on the public property, causing involuntary hurt to another person and so on. Singaporean, by and large, believe there is nothing to fear on those stringent laws if you are a law-abiding person. Occasionally trivial mischievous behavior does not land you the canning as most would like to believe. Hope this clarifies your doubts.
