Living in Singapore and not loose your sanity

What is it about this place that drives most of us, that is those with even half a brain, completely insane here? After all it is a very good place, clean, efficient, taxes are low, food is excellent, health care is good and the airport is the best I have seen in the world. But there is still that element of je ne sais quoi that drive westerners insane.
It is the narrow mindness, nastyness of the place. The lack of can-do-attitude. The hypocrisy of the system, the arrogance as if Singapore is the centre of the world.
The Gare de Perpignan is. Not Singapore!
There is also an eerie sense of being constantly watched. Everything is controlled.
Press, TV, there are cameras everywhere monitoring everything. You are constantly asked for your "I.C." (ID), even to go to the toilet. There is still censorship and any magazines or newspapers that dare to criticize the government, are simply banned....Not to mention movies and TV.
Wao! in the 21st cnetury. Medieval.
I think I am going to have fun here....
