Ex-Brit on why Singapore democracy is better than American
This is Michael Gray. An ex-British citizen, he became Singaporean 30 years ago. Moreover, Michael was one of the first Caucasians to get involved in the grassroots. He told me why obtaining a Singaporean passport was the best decision of his life, why Singapore’s democracy is much better than that of the US and the West, and what it feels like to own a yacht on Sentosa. Enjoy!
