  Sg is only a partly free(dom) country,according to
  
  Freedom in the world 2005 of Freedom House
  
  Sg score 4.5 out of 7.0,not free.We fall into the same group of:
  
  4.5
  Armenia
  Burkina Faso
  Congo (Brazzaville)
  Gabon
  Jordan
  Kuwait
  Liberia
  Morocco
  Singapore
  Uganda.
  
  2.Foruntately,we have few things help us to migrate/escape:
  Passport-----Sg and her citizenship is one of the
  easiest country to migrate.Other citizens also
  apply to US or other countries
  from here.Quota in Sg is always not fully used.
  
  English----this help us to apply migration and settle in other countries.
  
  Right to leave Sg----Unless u are one of the 24 loan sharks whose passports have been cancelled or u cant afford $60 to apply a passport and a air ticket,there is no reason u cannot escape from Sg.
  
  U can walk to freedom to MY via Causeway.
  
  Malaysia is only one group better at 4.0.So is it worth migrate there?
  
  3.This kind of rating-----what do u think?

  You are not at all treating teh report objectively. The "Freedom" they are measuring is not economic standard-of-living. It is civil freedom.
