Just got a video recommendation about him defending the death penalty for drug traffickers and I remembered all the western propaganda about him being "le great man" who singlehandedly raised Singapore out of poverty or some shit.

is it "geographical determinism" to say that its harder to get away with shit in a small ass country?

Your points are right abt. geographical advantages, but it isn't the only factor, nor even the main factor itself.
