Extensive Welfare System Presently Singapore can be politically analysed as a democratic socialist country and has an extensive welfare system although de facto it has a dominant party system We have an extensive welfare system I know we have no unemployment monetary benefits no disability monetary benefits no eldery monetary benefits monetary benefits receiving money from the govt like unemployment claims in developed countries like Australia and the USA Wasn t there cases back then where poor families who couldn t scrap up enough money to pay for water and electricity bills were featured on the news and our govt made a statement like PUB public utility board not running a charity PUB govt linked monopoly on all public utilities in singapore They are the only water and electricity provider in the country Don t worry I m not looking for a flame war nor am I a govt lackey lol I just want to make this wiki entry as accurate as possible I think it is pretty good that we do not face wars terror attacks famine or natural disasters in Singapore Though crime rate is considerably high my low is at zero P its much harder to get killed or raped here than say in the States Anyone with knowledge and verifiable sources regarding our extensive welfare system please enlightened
