Singapore is a country, where the world’s most healthiest and
happiest people are found. Beside this the most amazing thing is, it is
one of the most cleanest country in the world. Today, we are going to
look out for some laws that will make your mind mumble.
So Let’s Take A Look At 10 Craziest Laws You Can Only Find In Singapore!
1. No Singing
Singapore government does not allow anyone to sing obscene songs in
public. For as much we know obscene means seductive, but in Singapore
any loud music, thumpy music is denied. Most of the teen music is banned
there. Even Katy Perry is banned there.
2. Feeding Pigeons
Feeding pigeons is banned in Singapore. It is because of the health
issues. The pigeons waste is the harbinger of diseases. Government does
not allow people to feed pigeons there. A $500 fine is imposed on the
one who feeds a pigeon.
3. Using WIFI
In Singapore, it is not allowed to connect to any other person’s
Wi-Fi. This is considered as hacking. Also, penalty for this illegal act
is jail. A 17-year-old boy was the first victim of his law. He was
sentenced for 18 months jail. Also, he was asked to do community
services for 6 months.
4. Spitting
Spitting is considered as offensive crime. Just like with the pigeons
spitting is also believed that it causes health issues. It is banned to
spit on roads and other places because this also makes streets looks
like disgusting. A fine of 1000 dollars is imposed if caught. If you
want to spit it is asked that you spit in a tissue and throw it in a
garbage.
5. Littering
Littering is considered as the most offensive crime in Singapore.
Singapore is very conscious about cleanliness, and littering leads you
to pay $ 2000 as a fine. It is for the first time. If you are caught
third time you got to pay 10 Grands.
6. Being Naked in Your Own House
We love to be free in our houses. But, in Singapore being naked in
your own house is a crime. It can lead you to a whopping $2600.
7. Graffiti
Drawing Graffitis in Singapore is most deadly crime. Being caught
first time, they may leave you with fine. But, if caught again leads to a
corporal punishment i.e., canning. A 18 year boy was caught for spray
painting cars. He was beaten by 6 cane, later it reduced to 4 due to
Bill Clinton’s word.
8. Cats
In Singapore many people long for cats. But, they aren’t allowed in
home. This is because they wander anywhere and urinate where they
shouldn’t. However, dogs are allowed but only if licensed.
9. Not Flushing Toilets
If you are using a public toilet in Singapore, and if you have not
flushed it after use, this may lead you to if caught by government
officials. Also, punishment becomes worse when you become a story there.
10. Chewing Gum
Singapore banned chewing gum in 1992, after when senior minister Lee
observed the mess it made of the city. Selling gum is punishable
offense and leads to a fine of one hundred thousand dollars or two years
of prison. In 2002, Singapore loosen the ban by legalizing Nicotine and
Dental gum, so now the act of spitting it on road, selling or smuggling
is considered as bad.
