Singapore has a welfare programme for lower income groups. Does that make it a welfare state?
It has rules though like time for which you'll receive support, work you HAVE to do if unemployed..

Welfare state is a marketing term. We have programs like that in the US. We have low income tax credits. But you must work and file a tax return to get them.

If the government give you a $100 that can't cover your rent? It is considered a welfare state? If you agree, then Singapore is a welfare state then.

Welfare device is in shambles (what type of "thoughts" rewards undesirable human beings for bringing yet another existence into the international at the same time as they could't help those they have already?) Too many lazy, whiny human beings gazing for the gov't to help them. and that is purely the end of the iceberg! (Sorry if that grew to change into right into a rant. i wager it hit a nerve)
