some laws :D some are weird aiyoh. no good lar. So kiasu cannot live here lar. Laws are often strict (there is a saying "Everything that is fun is illegal in Singapore"), with a slight tendency to relax some laws, e.g.: *the sale of chewing gum is forbidden although chewing the gum is not; *Heavy fines are levied on people who litter or discard items in public areas; *car ownership is curbed through a government scheme in which residents must bid for a Certificate of Entitlement (COE) *eating and drinking on buses and metro trains (also known as the Mass Rapid Transit system) also carries heavy fines; *vandalism and graffiti are punishable by mandatory caning; *there is tough censorship: some foreign newspapers and magazines, such as the Asian Wall Street Journal and the Far Eastern Economic Review have had their circulation or sale restricted. Malaysian newspapers are not allowed to be sold in Singapore (and vice versa) *pornography is not allowed; depiction of sex and nudity is restricted, e.g. Playboy and certain other 'adult' magazines such as Cosmo are not allowed. Sex and nudity, if allowed at all, must be relevant to the context; movies containing nudity, sex or high levels of violence are usually categorised as 'Restricted (Artistic)' or R(A). *private ownership of satellite dishes is banned, and international TV broadcasts (such as CNN, BBC, etc) can only be received by cable. *certain political material is not allowed; *material which may disturb religious and racial harmony is not allowed; *drugs laws are very strict; anyone caught with 13-14 g (0.5 ounces) of heroin, 28 g (1 ounce) of morphine or 480 g (17 ounces) of cannabis faces a mandatory death sentence. *homosexual penetration is illegal. Singapore is a FINE city.
