It's a wonder that they don't have you all dressing alike in unisex costumes and all of you with shaved heads so that you will not stand out in the crowd. Also, enacting the death penalty for walking in any way other than goosestepping!!!

Singapore Sucks also has its very own website not connected with FB.
Dear fans of Singapore Sucks!,
The book is currently sold out in Malaysia. So if you are planning a trip over the Causeway just to grab a copy, please don’t.
The book is only available in Kinokuniya’s outlets in Singapore and Mary Martin Booksellers (also located in Singapore).
Overseas buyers can place their orders via Mary Martin's website:

Here's something I wrote at Facebook about what has been written about in this book--as well as my impressions of Singapore re: what I've already learned about it:This book (a compilation of several writers from Singapore) is, imo, a must-read. To me, Singapore sounds a lot like the fictional-but-symbolic communities of Stepford and the one that was the setting for Shirley Jackson's short story The Lottery. That is, it is sold to the world as a wonderful place in which to live when, in truth, living there isn't all its cracked up to be. Let me put it this way. If The Orient Express came back into being and I was riding it, when it made a stop in Singapore, you would find me remaining on the train!!!
