Cd,
That's why I wrote " This is not to say that such actions can be yoked to religion itself".
You are right.Just forty years ago, Singapore was a war-battered British port,which had rapidly growing,poor,uneducated population living in slums and households.Singapore struggled along until 1965,when it became an independent nation with prime minister Yew in firm control.Forty years later,75% of families,the previous slum-dwellers own their homes.Despite a few harsh measures ( eg,forced savings),Singaporeans are happy with their paternalistic government.
