It is obvious that you have never been to Singapore. Coming from a chaotic third world city like Shanghai, Singapore would be a great eye opener for you.
We are a city of rules. We have rules on how to follow rules. Rule #1 , OBEY ALL RULES. Rule #2 There is no such thing as a stupid rule.
I see what you are thinkng now. We are a bunch of boring bureaucrats. FYI we are as exciting as the next American drunk. In fact, you should have seen us on our "Be spontaneous" day. Those who studied their BE SPONTANEOUS rules book well won all the top prizes.
You still think we not funny? Have you seen our ministers on mountain bikes? See if Hu and George can beat that.
