Actually, Sinagporeans generally are law-abiding and obedient. Collectively, this makes Singapore an easy country to govern. Any/everytime you see the law being broken here in Singapore, it is likely due to the "culprit" thinks s/he can get away without getting caught. And hence an tempts and attempt to be made and get away without having to pay a fee, or inconvenience oneself. As an example. when to cross the road at any designated road crossing where a lighted signal (red man/green man) is used to regulate pedestrian flow; when the red man lights up, and there are NO CARS approaching from either side of the road, how many people do you see crossing the road at the crossing? Chances are it is none, or perhaps one or two "rebelliuns" ones, and when they do, how many follow them? I have crossed many times when the red man is lighted, and NO ONE follows! When the green man finally appears, and my colleagues/relatives finally cross and catchup with me, it is a a high possibility of them telling me to not commit such "reckless" acts, as I may be arrested for J-Walking!!! My explanation of "but there are no vehicles coming!" just doesnt' cut it with them. Take a look at cities like KL to our north, or Bangkok, or Ho Chi Minh City (horrors!!) If a cop were to stand at the crossing to arrest J-walkers, he'd need assistants to help him write the names of the people arrested! Or probably to help defend him from pedestrians who feel they've been violated!
Cheers!
