Singapore schools take strict steps against obesity

Singapore has the most efficient and the most innovative
government in the world. Details:

__________________________________________________ __________

"The top personal and corporate income tax rate is 22% and
the government plans to cut both tax rates to 20% by 2005.
All cars and motorcycles in Singapore must be equipped
with a special transmitter, which beams information to
authorities on the location of the vehicle. Possession of
a national ID card equipped with digital thumbprints is
mandatory. By 2008, Singapore plans a transition to the
world’s first entirely cashless society, where coins and
bills are replaced entirely by electronic money
transactions, all instantly linked to government databases.
These innovations have undoubtedly lowered crime and made
Singapore a cleaner and more efficient society. This is
undoubtedly an attraction for some, but not for those
individuals looking for a haven that, above all, respects
civil liberties."

The author William Gibson wrote a piece for Wired magazine about his
impressions of Singapore. The juxtaposition of high-tech cleanliness with a
Draconian legal system is reflected in the title of the article: "Disneyland
with the Death Penalty".
