'Art not for art's sake, but for its commercial spin-offs is the agenda here. Unlike great arts cities of the world, Singapore works on a Faustian bargain, which swaps political and artistic freedom for profit. Singapore is better planned and better run than most cities, yet writers like William Gibson and Stan Sesser have called it, respectively, ``Disneyland with the death penalty'' and ``the prisoner in the theme park''.'

I recognised the expression and so googled for it. I had thought it might be Stan Sesser (an AWSJ columnist, and author), but it's one William Gibson.
['The prisoner in the theme park' is not a reference to the country, but rather the early rival of LKY, later the political prisoner held for life on Sentosa. X-ref: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1348 ... nd_Cruelty].
