The founding father of Singapore literally said one of the secret of Singapore's success is air conditioning. Temperature matters for productivity.
新加坡国父曾说过新加坡成功的秘诀之一就在于空调。温度对生产力来说真的非常重要

It's not the temperature. You can see a MUCH better correlation if you compare IQ and wealth.
和温度没有关系。如果你对比一下智商和财富之间的关系的话,就会发现两者有很强的相关性。
Having the Malacca Strait at it's front door probably helped Singapore also. Geography matters.
马六甲海峡就在新加坡的门口,这可能也会新加坡的发展起到了帮助
地理非常重要
Yes, because heat breeds laziness, and laziness is bad for production.
没错,因为气候炎热会让人无精打采,而这对于生产是不利的

People here really relating race with success with no proof. If that isn't racism idk what is.
评论区的人在没有证据的情况下,将种族和成功联系在一起,如果这不是种族主义的话,那么我就不知道什么是种族主义了
The majority of the population of Singapore is from northern China. They imported people who evolved in a cold climate. If air conditioning were the defining trait all of Malasia would be nearly as wealthy, which it clearly is not.
新加坡大部分人口来自中国北方,这些都是在严寒气候下进化出来的人。如果空调是决定性的因素,那么整个马来西亚应该和新加坡一样富裕才对,但显然结果并非如此
@RAPID squalor Indonesia's Batam island just is a stone throw away from singapore and for decades indonesia's government has been attempting to replicate singapore with so many tax incentives for ships to dock in Batam. Yet to no avail. Corruption and laziness run deep in indonesia's culture, so just being in the strategic location wont help unless if u are smart and work hard too.
印尼的巴淡岛距离新加坡只有一步之遥,数十年来印尼政府一直试图复制新加坡模式,为停靠巴淡岛的船只提供诸多的税收优惠,但没有取得任何效果。腐败和懒散在印尼的文化中根深蒂固。所以如果你不聪明又不努力,那么即便你身处战略要地,一样没有什么用。
The fact that the "founding" of Singapore happened after the invention of AC gives you a clue. They were not native to the area, but they brought their industrious culture with them to the tropics.
事实上在新加坡建国之前,空调就已经被发明出来了,建立新加坡的人不是本地居民,但他们将自己崇尚勤劳的文化带到了这个热带地区
To study the success of Singapore you will need to understand the demographic structure of its population. I know its can be a taboo topic for many people, but it's a big factor that cannot be overlooked.
要研究新加坡的成功就需要了解该国的人口结构,我知道这对于许多人来说是一个禁忌话题,但这是一个难以忽视的巨大因素
About Singapore, the first thing Lew Kuan Yew did when he was in charge was to introduce air conditioning in all government building, and said nobody can work efficiently if it is so hot.
有关新加坡,李光耀在当政后的第一件事就是为所有的政府大楼安装空调,他说在天气那么热的情况下,没有人可以好好的工作

李光耀是一个智者
a very wise man...i live in india and summer days sucks
李光耀是一个智者,我住在印度,夏天真的难受极了

True story, but way back when I was a teenager (I'm in my late 30s now) I had this observation. Having lived most of my life in a tropical country I wondered why richer countries are almost always cold. My mind simply concluded that it's because they'd die in the winter if they didn't have proper shelter, whereas in tropical countries people wouldn't really need to prepare for such event.
说的一点也没错,我在十几岁的时候就观察到了这一点(现在我三十五到四十了)。在热带国家生活了大半辈子,我想知道为什么更加富裕的国家气候都是那么寒冷呢。我得出了一个简单的结论,那是因为生活在寒带的人如果没有一个合适的住所的话,在冬天就会被冻死,而热带国家的人不需要为这样的事情做准备。
I've been telling them for ages to add air-conditioning in the classroom but no one ever listened to me
我一直和他们说要在教室里面安装空调,但他们就是不听我的
Malaysia still doesn’t have a/c in school? Are you kidding?
马来西亚的学校依然没有空调?你在开玩笑吗?
If you've ever lived in a hot climate, then you know that you don't feel like producing anything when it's roasting and humid.
如果你曾在炎热的气候中生活过,那么你就会知道在潮湿炎热的气候下,你会什么东西都不想生产
Hotter climates are more habitable thus leading to faster population growth which leads to lower GDP per Capita
更热的气候更加适合人类居住,因此会带来更高的人口出生率,而这会让人均GDP降低
