I think you are extremely misinformed here, mate.

12. Singapore- This area already has many pirates, not to mention being the largest seaport in the world. Most of the country's population will flee to the seaport...

I've lived on a boat in SE Asia for 2 years. And Singapore's about the safest place in the whole region. Sure, everywhere'll get people like pirates and raiders. Singapore's no different - it's also a freaking massive island. It has a massive, sprawling city on it, and that only covers a *bit* of the island. There's a few towns, the airport, and a shitload of jungle. And everyone fleeing to the seaport? "Oh Mr. Fuel Tanker? Can I get a ride?"

Also, if anywhere has a chance of surviving the Z-Day Apocalypse, it's Singapore. They're borderline facist - the cops will throw you in jail for a year, FOR SPITTING ON THE FOOTPATH. They don't even have free speech - these guys would happily shoot everyone who looks infected. However, Singaporeans aren't allowed to own guns - as the case is in quite a few countries. Bring your own. Or ask a cop nicely for his assault rifle. (have you seen theirs? They are SWEET.)

But I wouldn't go there straight away - the city goes like this. Just about everyone lives in 15-25 storey units and flats, mostly government developed. Other than the president's house, there aren't any houses on the whole goddamned island (except for the less dense regions, where they live in huts above the water. xD) And what happens once everyone's a zombie? No food. Certainly not enough food to support all of them. After a year or so, I honestly think that there'll be a manageable number of the bastards.

Or, the army will move everyone to Sentosa Island, a little bit of reclaimed land that's part rainforest, part amusement park. A bit like a Manhattan with no buildings on it. 4  out of 4 found this valuable. Do you?

What do you mean by a few towns? The whole freakin' island is a city by itself... Seriously, have you actually been to Singapore?

You're wrong about the housing too.

Singapore has Freedom of Speech subject to our own Singapore laws.

Freedom of speech is allowed as long as you don't defame government leaders(slanderous falsehoods) or speak in public without a permit, insult civil servant, or say anything that may breed ill will or cause disharmony within Singapore's multiracial, multi-religious society. 3  out of 3 found this valuable.

"Sadly, no."
...

You're not allowed to defame government leaders, you're not allowed to speak in public without a permit "Hey, can I have a permit to protest how you do something Government? NO.", you're not allowed to insult civil servants, and you're not allowed to cause "disharmony". That is, disagreeing with the government.

That doesn't sound like free speech to me. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

You can apply for the permit. There is also a speaker's corner for protesting. Causing disharmony as in saying something that disrespects the different racial and religious groups. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

OK way off topic of Zeds but all nations and all forms of government claim their people have freedom of speech. No one has ever come out and said "Yes we are a repressive group of Communist pricks" it doesn't happen. In public Hitler claimed the Jews were free to leave the occupied territories. He never said “I am exterminating them in camps” no government admits to being repressive. 2  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?
