Everyday things that are illegal in Singapore

REVEALED: The everyday things that are ILLEGAL in Singapore
DRINKING water on the train and chewing gum are serious crimes

Sometimes laws and rules in foreign countries can be surprising to tourists.

A Japanese tourism board is even trying to get visitors to curb their farting and belching.

Some foreign laws are just plain odd. But some could land you in a police cell.

If you’re travelling to Singapore, beware. The country has very strict laws around everyday activities. Here are some of the most surprising things that could land you with a prison sentence.

Walking around your house naked

Public indecency is one thing, but in Singapore you’re not allowed to walk around your own home naked if there’s a risk of someone seeing you.

You could face serious pornography charges and a fine of thousands, or imprisonment.

Make sure you don a bathrobe before hopping in the shower you don’t don’t get a surprise knock at the door while you’re in the nude. Police have the right to enter your home without authorisation if they suspect you of the crime.

Feeding pigeons

We love feeding birds in the UK (although, we’re far kinder to cute ducks than we are pigeons), but think twice before sharing a loaf of bread with pigeons in Singapore.

Your white bloomer generosity could cost you £250 in fines.

Littering is taken very seriously in Singapore so don’t drop anything at all.

Selling chewing gum

It’s not illegal to chew gum, however it is illegal to sell it and you could face a year in jail if you’re found guilty of this.

There’s also a £500 fine for anyone caught spitting out gum on the streets (any spitting is a serious crime).

There is an exception made for nicotine gum, but it needs to be prescribed by a doctor.

Stealing wifi

If you’ve ever nicked your neighbour’s wifi when yours is on the blink, you might want to think again if you’re on holiday in Singapore.

It’s illegal to steal a wifi connection and the crime is taken very seriously.

You could be fined £5000 and face at least three years in jail for your misdemeanour. That email from your mum probably isn’t worth the hassle.

Forgetting to flush

Even if you’re in rush, don’t forget to flush.

In Singapore you could face a face of £75 if you don’t flush the toilet when you’ve finished your business.

We’re not entirely sure how easy this law is to police to better to be safe than sorry and flush even if you’re in a rush.

Drinking water on a train

Food and drink is banned from Singapore’s metro system.

On one hand it’s understandable when if comes to a huge burger or a stinky packed lunch, but the law extends further than that.

Taking a sip of water or helping yourself to your sweets could land you in trouble. And you could get a small on the spot fine for quenching your thirst.

how about body odor from a cumin-infused armpit?

Walking around in your house naked is not offence in Singapore and has never been an offence. These British colonials still think we live in treehouses. Trying standing on your balcony which faces a busy public street in London while butt naked and reading this article about Singapore. Trying tapping into someone's else paid wifi in the UK. There are many places in the UK where feeding of animals and birds are not allowed. There are obvious reasons for it and no authority is going to stop free food unless there is a reason. Littering is illegal in many countries including the UK. Their culture over centuries like the Japanese do not litter, and spit as much so large scale campaigns and enforcement actions are not necessary.

all you have to do is search online for precedents and offenses committed before blaring your horn. it's that simple. this case is reported in the local press. you can be naked at home but it must not be of clear view to neighbors.

from the straits times....

"Naked at home

You may be in your own home, but that does not mean you can swan around naked. Yes, it is illegal to be naked in your own home - but with a caveat. Under Section 27A of the Miscellaneous Offences (Public Order and Nuisance) Act, Chapter 184, a person cannot be naked in a private place while being exposed to public view. This law came into effect in Feb 27, 1996.

If you are found guilty of this offence, you risk having to pay a fine not exceeding $2,000 or being sentenced to prison for a term not exceeding three months - or both.

Furthermore, if you are committing this offence, a police officer has the right to enter your home without your authorisation and use force, if necessary, to arrest you.

In August 2009, taxi driver Chua Hock Hin (right), was fined $2,600 for being naked in his own flat in clear view of his neighbours.

The next time you plan on walking around in your birthday suit at home, it might be a good idea to draw the curtains first."



what an ugly uncle.

Other stupid & unfair laws that the PAP has imposed:

Ban you from entering Spore, or served last if you have Long hair. Can ask Kitaro the Musician what he thinks of this.

The authorities can enter your home & give you a fine if they find you breeding mosquitoes.

If you are a local grad & fail to respond to a gov't survey you can be fined

If you've received or given a blow job, don't forget to have sexual intercourse otherwise it would be considered an unnatural act.

If 3 or more people get together it can be considered an illegal assembly.


PAP can choose to impose any laws they want. Even if a law is not in the books, a judge in Spore can if he choose turn & twist one to make something illegal or not.

Sheesh ... being a Tua Pau Xian is part of scroobal's Asian culture. No wonder readership of this forum is dwindling.

from the local presstitute....

'"Stealing" wireless access

"Borrowing" your neighbour's unsecured wireless Internet network is considered hacking, under Section 6(1)(a) of the Computer Misuse and Cybersecurity Act, which was enacted in 1998. But that is not the surprising part. The punishment for "piggybacking" is particularly strict. If found guilty of the offence, you could be fined a maximum of $10,000 or jailed up to three years, or both.

In November 2006, Singaporean teenager Garyl Tan Jia Luo (right) was arrested for tapping into his neighbour's wireless network.

The first person in Singapore to be convicted of this offence, he was sentenced to 18 months' probation, half of which was to be served at a boys' home and he was required to stay indoors from 10pm to 6am for the next nine months. He also had to carry out 80 hours of community service, and was banned from using the Internet for 18 months.

Given the penalties, it might be worth that trip to a Starbucks to get free Wi-Fi rather than to mooch off someone else's network."'

online resources are easily and conveniently available these days. all it takes is a little effort for a quick lookup. some sbf members are simply too lazy to lift the little finger and expect others to do it for them.

And the Singapore Police Force would be so busy catching naked people in their homes because thousands of SBF readers started to walk around their homes naked all because scroobal the SBF Tua Pau Xian convinced them to do so with just a thunderous blow of the trumpet:

Walking around in your house naked is not offence in Singapore and has never been an offence. - scroobal, 1st May 2016

Don't underestimate the power of scroobal!

This is kangaroo court lancheow law and you know it. Really, staying in the US all these years and you still have shit for brains?

When you have a own residence, you have a stated right to privacy. that means no kaypoh people can look into your flat at anytime they like to see what you or members of your family are doing. Lee wei Ling has a right to expect privacy in Oxley Drive. If I park outside the house or set up in a nearby condo or hotel and use telescope to look into Oxley all the time and see what she is doing, I would be arrested. No doubt about it.

If the taxi driver was fined for walking around naked, then his neighbour who reported him should also be fined for voyeurism and violating people's privacy. he has no right to look into people's flat for no fucking reason.

virginia man convicted for indecent exposure in his home....

http://www.foxnews.com/story/2009/1...exposure-for-being-naked-in-his-own-home.html

A Virginia man has been convicted of indecent exposure after prosecutors said he stood naked inside his house as a 7-year-old boy and his mother walked by.

The mother and child allegedly observed the defendant, 29-year-old Erick Williamson, first through a doorway and again through a window that had no drapes, MyFoxDC reported.

Williamson, the father of a 5-year-old, argued in court Friday that he should be free to go au naturel inside his home. But a judge agreed with prosecutors who argued Williamson's actions showed he intended to make himself visible to the pair as they walked to school along a path outside his home in October.

Williamson's arrest received national attention and spurred debate about whether someone should be subject to arrest for exposure from inside his own home.

He received only a suspended jail sentence and no fine, but still intends to appeal.
