That's right. Singapore is alright for a while.But don't outstay the welcome,the boredom starts to get down to you pretty soon.I can tell you.The longer you stay,the more you can realize about the place.The typically miserable lives of the locals are just hidden beneath its glamor.Worth a short stint,though. about 5 years ago

Singapore is not a boring country, it's the locales; always tingkling and tweeking in their smart phones... about 3 years ago

Yes, Singapore is definitely boring. I've been here for 3 months, doing a 4 years PhD. Sometimes I really have the impression this is a 40km squared shopping mall, or airport. Whichever you find more annoying.

Just look at some of the people's answers, suggesting Sentosa and shopping malls as a valid option for entertainment. Lame. And sad. Local rappers sing about how cool being in the army is. That's as much transgression you can get in S'pore.

Maybe if you have a high salary you can always drink 16 $ beers over 2 years ago

I lived and worked as an expat in Singapore for close to 8 years. Although I had a high paying job I ultimately left because I found it such a sterile and boring place. Singaporeans themselves are deadly boring who aspire to shallows pursuits based around monetary objects.

The city has zero culture as well. Good for a short trip but soul destroying to live there

The 16 Most Disappointing Places To Visit On Earth - Business Insider

11. Sentosa Beaches in Singapore

“It’s all fancy and hyper-developed and connected to one of the largest malls on earth (Vivo Mall), but you get to the beach via monorail and you get to the sand and look out to the ocean and all you see is oil tankers and factories spewing smoke on the horizon. It was like some sort of futuristic dystopia.” - magnora4

world's 11 most boring places.

Canberra



Not included, however, among Lonely Planet’s elite destinations list is the Australian capital.

“Canberra: Why wait for death?” asked Bill Bryson; the Economist called it: “Pyongyang without the dystopia”.

Even the city’s founding was a wishy-washy affair. When Melbourne and Sydney couldn’t agree on which should become the country’s capital they chose instead a rural hamlet more than 100 miles from Australia’s gorgeous coast.

Politicians’ thinking at the time was that at least all the bureaucrats who’d be working at the government departments there would be spared the immoral temptations of the big city.

Yep, Canberra is full of bureaucrats.

“Slightly sterile” and “low on spontaneity” is what Lonely Planet actually says about the capital, but its fans retort that it’s one of the world’s greenest cities and they rave about the restaurant scene and excellent coffee.

Singapore



Singapore hasn’t banned excitement but you get the feeling it might have thought about it.

Many other mildly disorderly things attract a stiff fine in the city state, including chewing gum (S$1,000 – about £490 – for a first offender spitting it out on the street), littering (S$300) smoking almost anywhere ($200) and jaywalking ($20).

This year a smoker was fined a record S$19,800 (around £9,500) for emptying his ashtray out of the window, so things aren’t softening up.

With so many restrictions, detractors say, there’s nothing to do in Singapore but shop, eat and sweat in year-round hot and humid weather.

CNN even published a list of the 10 most boring things to do in Singapore, including “Have dinner at the airport” (“people do it in the hundreds, especially on the weekend”) and watching gamblers at the casino.

Thrilling!

But – hang on – what’s this? Lonely Planet rates Singapore’s “strange brew of Chinese, Malay, Indian and western cultures” and makes it its top country to visit in 2015.

Second Canberra, it is like a retirement town... really ideal for cho bo and wait for death to arrive.. absolutely nothing to do and the city's best sight is the old parliament building..

In Australia, Melbourne bestest!
