Health, education, utilities, airlines, railways, banks... Not to mention the very high tax rates in Scandinavia (not Singapore of course though).

Utilities, education, railways are often government run in some manner in many capitalistic countries.

Banks in Singapore

The main bank in Singapore - Temasek - is a government-run bank that has investments in several companies. And of course Singapore and the Scandinavian countries have private airlines, but their main ones are state-owned.

There are plenty of banks that are private the vast majority are in these countries.
What are main airlines from these countries and which are state owned vs. private?
Are there private schools in these countries?

Singapore Airlines is entirely owned by the government of Singapore. Finnair is 75% owned by the Finnish government. Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS) is owned by a mixture of private investors and the Danish, Swedish and Norwegian governments jointly.

Scandinavian countries are not socialist. They are pretty individualistic and capitalistic, with a strong social safety net that was established after the countries developed their economies through a typical laissez-faire economy, when their most profitable companies and industries where founded (Volvo, Ikea, etc.).

They are socially individualistic, in the sense that people there tend to be quite private and reserved in their behaviour and not so family-oriented as in other cultures, but economically collectivist, if you like at their tax rates and high degree of social welfare, regulation over everything and SOEs. Once again this shows how our discourse over politics is confused and back-to-front.
