Everything that is fun is illegal

Please expand on this. - Patrick 09:51 18 Jul 2003 (UTC)
I suspect this is referring to Singapore's rather strict penal code - you can't discard a candy wrapper without being heavily fined, and God forbid you should actually commit an act of vandalism because you'll find your backside bleeding from the impact of a heavy bamboo cane. These laws are seen by many as infringing civil liberties, but on the other hand the place is nice and tidy... :-| Lee M 04:27, 28 Sep 2003 (UTC)
Thanks, I have put some of this in Singapore#Law. - Patrick 09:20, 28 Sep 2003 (UTC)

I just took out the reference to illegal stuff. When you're there you don't really think about it much. It does not seem to have a detrimental effect on the city. I also fixed up the images. I don't think it's wise to have huge images on Wikipedia. -- Mark Ryan 08:10, 18 Nov 2003 (UTC)


  • A 'rant' regarding shopping laws in Singapore was recently removed. I agree that the added paragraphs was mostly a rant, but if it is true that there are product warranty / return issues, then it may have been a better idea to reword rather than to simply delete the paragraphs in their entirety? I think it might balance the shopping section which sniffs a little of self promotion. I'm not familiar with the specific laws of the country so I don't feel I can fix. Rob 05:59, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
