I'm probably in the minority here on this, but I like Singapore. Would be interesting if they had a lot more land, which would imply rural areas, countryside, etc.
I like the Indian, chinese, malay mix of both Singapore and Malaysia. But SG just has a more interesting overall nature to it. Wish it was a much larger country than it actually is.
Wouldn't it be cool if France had more land. Historically Great Britan led Europe, I don't think that would be the case if France was a wee bit larger.
Yes. More land would be nice. Reclamation has added a little bit of land but not enough to make a difference. It's getting terribly crowded, elbow to elbow in the malls and the MRT.
There are places to get away from crowds even in congested Singapore. A little gem I recently discovered was Kent Ridge Park. Went on a weekday and it was almost deserted.
Pulau Ubin Island off Singapore is also a good spot to get away from crowds if you go on a weekday. Walking and bicycle trails and an old Kampong feel like long ago Singapore.
Malaysia could be like Singapore now if the usual political cap hadn't held it back. If not for the tunku feeling threatened by Singapore's Chinese majority it would be part of Malaysia today. I don't know if you're in the minority, maybe Australians have a better perception of Singapore but for everyone who doesn't like it there's at least someone who does. Then again a lot of Australians have been to Singapore.

France is already big, it's the largest country in western Europe and twice the size of Great Britain. About four times the size of England itself.
Malaysia could be like Singapore now if the usual political cap hadn't held it back. If not for the tunku feeling threatened by Singapore's Chinese majority it would be part of Malaysia today. I don't know if you're in the minority, maybe Australians have a better perception of Singapore but for everyone who doesn't like it there's at least someone who does.

And if is part of Malaysia right now, Singapore wouldnt be as awesome as now, it would be more Penangish. The regional business center would be shifted to other capital cities of southeast asia.
How long does it take to:
1. drive across Singapore from end to end
2. circle around the island

I doubt Der Kaiser und Preußen would allow that to happen...
I will be cool if Singapore can annex Johor but that is next to impossible.
