  My opinion is Singaporeans and conservative because they work 9 to 5 shifts. a break in their routine would result in a catastrophe..

  Breaking their work routine would be too much of a hassle and a risk singaporeans are not willing to take because they might be fired and cause the economy to go towards a downward spiral. Imagine going on strike because of your low wages(liberal: because you want individual rights) and risk of losing your job or keep working for that corporate fat cat (Social conservatism: because enforcing traditional values or behaviors based on the belief that these are what keep people civilized and decent.)

  You cannot blame them, the singaporeans, cos the society and the govt they voted demand that kind of conservative life, poor singaporeans, hv to pay  high cost for family, bills, childrens, house, car, career, jobs, health, govt top rate taxes, investments, consultants, marriage, relationship expenses, expensive entertainments and self enhancing image.

   

  Just yesterday, i was liberal enuf to buy a laptop costing $2,500 for my niece, but the Gst was abt $175, then  i decided to be more conservatives and open my pub early and worked longer, hoping to earn back the $175, which i made it.

  We don't fit in to either liberal or conservative definitions.  

  I think the PAP government is a bit more left wing, nearer to socialist but without the distribution of wealth part. =D
