People in the west will never appreciate why such rules are in place. This island has all sorts of nationalities/people from all over the world, it needs rules to ensure all behaviours are consistently correct and ensures racial harmony. Just look at no further than US, there are many rules too, but nobody complies and the whole country is deteriorating, eg, streets of San Francisco...etc.
Yet, it is the West where many Singaporeans choose to live, visit, and send their children for a quality education. What is your measure and definition of 'racial harmony'? Many Indian Singaporeans would likely disagree with your statement. Your definition of a nation's 'deterioration' seems overly reductionist, as it considers only the look of a street, rather than the broader context required to assess true deterioration.
I miss SG. Been multiple times. Looking forward to my next visit. I remember my first time in the country and the smell of the durian fruit in some shopping centres was over powering. Tastes even better than it smells
Crazy to think that in the 1960s, Singapore actually looked up to Sri Lanka as an example for their development.. They were pretty similar back then, but things went in totally different directions. Singapore focused hard on foreign investment, tech, and anti-corruption, while Sri Lanka had to deal with political struggles and a long civil conflict. Fast forward to today, Singapore's a wealthy global hub, and Sri Lanka’s been facing some tough economic challenges. Just goes to show how big of a difference leadership and strategy can make.. 😥
To be honest, I’ve been there this summer and it has not been THAT strict. I mean it is strict but probably not as strict as anyone would assume from this video and other rumours. Still very different to other countries I’ve been so far.
Clean? Go to little India Singapore and tell me how clean it is! And it’s not strict, I’ve smoked in the streets and jaywalked plenty of times because everyone else does the same.
Honestly, as a Singaporean I don’t really feel my self getting affected about the laws tbh Btw everyone can drink water on MRT it’s not really frowned upon Some rules like no football are also ignored in some cases and I didn’t even know like a 1/4 of these laws existed

Singapore is clean, efficient, safe and beautiful. Their "strict" rules enable all of that. That's why Singapore is stable, disciplined and successful. Meanwhile, the West is just crumbling... 🤣
Dont forget to place your food tray & used plates/ utensils back onto collection shelves if you eat in food court or hawkers centres. Or you'll be fined. Out of habit, did that when I visited relatives in Msia and my cousins laughed at us ... 😊
I feel most of the "wierd laws" here can be justified by common sense and basic morals. It is back then where society as a whole was probably less educated, or due to the rural to urban culture shift where people didnt really know how to live with others in large concrete sprawls. These laws are enacted as the only reasonable way to "teach" the populus how to live without inconveniencing others. As society progresses, these laws are now seen more as common sense / basic decency rather needing strict legal enforcement to compel compliance.
@@Simone-i8h the thing is that rule is misunderstood as bubble gum is banned but in reality, it is allowed so long you don't sell it but even then only with medical reasons, you can sell it
Ban on chewing gum is a great idea. Our local council recently employed a team to rid gum by heat and pressure, throughout the pedestrianised area. Looked much better afterwards: let's hope it continues.
Durian is a very expensive fruit in Asian countries! there are just 2 types of people when it comes to durian: those who absolutely hate the smell and the taste, and those who are obsessed with it 😂 I love it though, it's indeed smelly but so yummy ❤
For you next videos, you should visit some of the colder parts of the world like you used to in your older videos like the one where you lived in an igloo.
Plain Water in public transport is generally allowed (either if you are sick and need to take medication or just thirsty), as long as you have some good reason if you are caught you should be fine. (Most people wont even bat an eye if u do it discretely). But yes other drinks and food are a nono
I don't eat or drink on UK buses and I don't smoke anything at all, and I make sure to stay clean as possible when going to public toilets, and I hate littering and fly tipping going on in the UK
1:17 the younger generation nowadays do it at the back of buses or sometimes even hidden corners in public spaces though 3:12 the no food/drink just apply for the rail network. as stated it is under the rapid transit systems act (which basically refers to the MRT/LRT system). buses are not part of it just that it's also encouraged not to eat/drink on buses one law worth pointing out as well - clearing up tables after a meal. if you are caught leaving a table dirty you get a $300 fine
Another good watch on this issue is Larry Chen’s visit to singapore in the hagerty channel. Apparently they don’t want you to own cars in singapore so the taxes end up costing more than the purchase price of the car over time.
The law against public drinking after 10:30 pm came about after Singapore’s first riot in 40 years in 2013, which happened in little India. Most laws aren’t really that strictly enforced, didn’t even know about some of them like the public hugging law! Actually I’ve personally never seen anyone fined for those laws.
Ok I'm weirded out right now not even 2.5 seconds ago after I said that I wonder if Bens going to post today and coincidentally you just posted a video 😁😀💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎
Some of them i can live with but some are too much. When i saw that you uploaded a new video i couldn’t wait to get home after work to watch it, that is exactly what im doing… now to eat…
The chewing gum ban was implemented to eradicate problems created by chewing-gum litter in public places like cinemas, parks and common areas of housing estates such as lifts, staircases and corridors, as well as the high costs involved to clean up the litter.
There a lot of this laws that are similar in other countries, but ultimately it comes to whether police really cares about it and is it really enforced. I mean here in my country you shouldn't eat at bus or tram, but still people do it and nobody got fined
I thought Singapore was a cool country; def enjoyed my time there. I went in 2019 and stayed at the Marina Bay Sands Hotel for $230/night. What a great deal it was!
Im from China, I wish China has similar laws in Singapore but there is no such laws.. Japan also doesn't have those, Japanese just follow rules... It's insane you just spit things like this without knowing the truth and spread ignorance
the funny thing is that some of these laws are committed very commonly, and are relatively casual. Such as jaywalking, drinking plain water/soft drinks on public transport.
It is going to be exactly five years this November since I hightailed it to China (layover), Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. 'The Death To Drug Traffickers' card they gave me in customs made me realise that the Singaporeans don't mess around. I thoroughly enjoyed my one-night-stand in Sensational Singapore. Have fun, be safe and keep on keepin on, homeboy!
Many of these unknown/weird laws are in place so that people do not have an excuse to say that there’s no law that can charge them for it. As for the strict laws, they are there as a deterrence factor to maintain order and safety in our society. Should any individual think they are above the laws then these laws that are in place will be enforced. Most of us are conditioned to behave in an orderly manner wherever we are, but neither do we feel that there’s any suppression or lack of freedom from the laws in place as we’ve come to enjoy the benefits of it unknowingly.
