If this sounds like some bullshit they’d pull in Singapore, that’s not an accident.

Sovereignty is won by force.  Every murder, every bombing, every acid attack undermines the legitimacy of the government.  Why listen to the government when someone else could kill you just as easily?

The mighty iron hand of the Singaporean state would not let such a thing go so easily.  It would seek to crush such opposition.

These behaviors can be stopped at the margins, if they are stopped now.  Otherwise, this is the future you choose.
