Singapore is the only place I heave heard of where rich and poor live in the same public housing buildings.

Could have something to do with the extreme land scarcity. The super rich still live in private houses though.

Singapore also deals quite harshly with “problem people”.

How do you mean?

They are quite famous for using capital punishment for drug trafficking offenses:

Usually by hanging.

Caning spoiled ex-pat brats comes to mind.

“A developed country is not a place where the poor have cars. It's where the rich use public transportation.”
