Singabore is Asian Las Vegas. Very sterile, controlled "wild partying" dictated by large corporations.
SV had a wild counter-culture drug scene in the 70's and 80's. Things got tame in the 90's, but there's always SF nearby.
For example, take gambling in Singapore as a resident. You can only lose so much money per day, and it's tracked. While some might argue the merits of this, Americans would have a problem with not being able to risk it all or win their money back. Again, just an example of the SG thought process and not a certain dealbreaker.
