Very simple. Singaporeans are very rich. All of them will retire will hundreds of thousands in their CPF, and also some properties. So when they reach a point in life when they can no longer see, can't hear, can't walk, can't move, can't think,can't eat, can't desire, can't do anything, they still can't die. Singaporeans can't die!
For they can still afford to be hooked up to a machine and live for as long as there is money to pay the medical bill to keep them alive.
What a beautiful life.
