It was never my intention to go to Singapore and write a book about its revered but much feared chief executioner or its justice system. I was invited by the Singapore Tourism Board and a glossy magazine in California to write a travel feature to tempt Americans to visit the city state. Writing about its bird park, night safari, orchid garden, the legend of the Merlion and historic hotels like The Raffles or The Fullerton was not my usual sphere of interest. The trip lasted only a week but, having an inquiring mind well outside my minders box, I soon had a feeling that I would never discover the true nature of this bland, authoritarian nation from a controlled tour like this. Reading its biggest daily, The Straits Times - which I discovered was mockingly called 'The Straits Jacket' - confirmed my thinking. It all appeared a little too clean, too efficient and just too damned perfect for my liking. It all reminded me of the Hollywood movie The Stepford Wives, about a town in upstate New York where everything was blissfully controlled - especially the beautifully turned out, seemingly perfect, clockwork women. Or a meal dreamed up by a chef who had forgotten to add the salt.
