And yes, Singapore, like most every country in that area of the world, is wayyyyy too collectivist for your taste.
Singapore is more collectivist/paternalist than many other countries in the present for some things. For some things they are truly ****ed up in the head (like vaping)
For example :
In Singapore, all land is held by the state; as such, land is not the subject of absolute ownership but of tenure. The state in turn issues various grants or leases of the land
Like much of Europe, the drinking age is 18 to purchase and consume alcohol in Singapore. What's more,
drinking in public areas between 10.30pm and 7am the next day is banned. Drinking in licensed premises past 11.59pm to 6am the next day is also banned.

/B. Is Broadcasting Porn Online Legal in Singapore ?
As per IMDA’s Internet Code of Practice, Internet Service Providers and Internet Content Providers licensed under the Broadcasting Act are required to use best efforts to ensure that prohibited material, such as pornographic material, is not broadcast to the public in Singapore.

C. Is Downloading or Possessing Porn Legal in Singapore ?
In Singapore, it is illegal to keep, possess or download porn under the Undesirable Publications Act and the Films Act. This is regardless of whether the porn is in physical or digital form, and even if the porn was for personal use.
If you are found to be possessing pornographic films, you can be fined up to $20,000 and/or jailed for up to 6 months under section 30(1) of the Films Act. The penalties are higher if you are found to have known, or to have had reasonable cause to believe, that the film in your possession was obscene.
First-time offenders can be fined up to a maximum of $40,000 and/or jail for up to 12 months, while subsequent offenders can be fined up to $80,000 and/or jail for up to 2 years. /
