+Singapore has draconian laws that are different than every other country. Pay attention to (but not only):
 * '''Chewing gum is banned in Singapore''' so leave it at home when packing your bags. Importation of chewing gums into the country, even if it is not for trading, is illegal.
-* '''Littering is forbidden'''. To maintain its reputation of being impeccably clean, Singapore apply an active campaign against littering and enforceit. Throwing a cigarette butt or a paper will cost $300 for a first time offender. Larger objects like a soda can will lead you in front of a judge!

 * '''Jaywalking''' is forbidden. And wait for the green light!
 * '''Homosexual relations''' are forbidden in Singapore.
 * '''Not flushing the toilets''' is an offence.
+And of course anything around '''drugs''', '''vandalism''' (this including defacing advertisement, or using stickers inappropriately), or '''fighting''' is prohibited (like in most countries).
 Hope this help.
