His cousin was allowed 1 bath before being escorted straight to airport immigration. The only thing that was free is his food (lousy) and lodging (hard cement) and transportation at the Chinese Government good will.
Singapore Government would not assist in this type of case or in most types of cases (unless they want to get their hands on you). Singapore Government will only collect taxes (seen and unseen) and not do anything to protect or assist their citizens (we are like disposable items to them .... use and discard) .... unlike US Government who will try to protect their citizen especially if you can get people and press around you .... (American kid get BIG DISCOUNT .... canning ...... after breaking Singapore law).

Bro,
Luckily I am not in the 70% that voted for the PAP, but still I could not rally enough votes to make Singapore where we have a strong opposition to look after the little people's welfare (citizen) .... like places in Europe or US (where the ruling party are kept in line by strong opposition ... thus their citizens have better quality of life and freedom etc.)
Absolute power corrupts especially over time ..... and the demise of the Little people (Citizen) ..... We need strong opposition to keep PAP in line and look after citizen's welfare.
Cheers
