Singapore is definitely known for having lax laws. When it comes to business. They'll kill you for drugs though.

Why else does it attract fintech startups? It's a place with a good reputation that doesn't seem to care much what you're doing in other countries as long as local laws aren't being broken

    It's not just drugs - they have some wild laws for regular people. Caning for vandalism, including graffiti, as well as many other "crimes". Chewing gum is banned. Not flushing the toilet is illegal. Also, as far as drugs go, they may drug test you as you enter the country and you can be punished if they find any trace.
