A couple that some people might not like

1) Execution for drug trafficking without violence

2) A slight majority of the populace eligible for public housing gets it via essentially a regressive tax system where a gigantic slice of the populace (immigrants) fund the housing they can't use, creating a very bizarre government-imposed scenario where housing actually becomes radically cheaper the better positioned you are to be wealthy.

Of course there are arguments for both.

1. Sounds good. I bet that lowers the amount of drug-related gang violence like nothing else would.

2. Same as in USA. I fund a lot of housing I cannot use via my taxes.

		2 is not at all like the USA. USA has an ostensible progressive taxation for public housing -- the people on section 8 / public housing are poorer population than even the legal immigrants that can't get it. Singapore's is regressive; they tax their massive % of population of ineligible immigrants so the citizens can have it essentially without means testing. It functions largely as a transfer of wealth from less rich to more rich.
