  • From what is hard to find, what is expensive, and what you can not bring at all to Singapore: This is the ultimate essential travel guide on what TO BRING and NOT TO BRING To Singapore together with direct experience explained and the reason why you should pack and should not pack to Singapore, we hope you find this video helpful in preparing you for the trip.
    We have heard before that Singapore is a Country full of fines and by that we mean, you can be fined for a lot of things if you don’t know what you can and can’t bring. Well to us, that’s pretty intimidating to think about. So, as tourists, it’s always good to know this matter and that’s why in today’s video, we decided to share with you things you should and should not bring for traveling to Singapore. This will help set your expectations and keep you out of the unpleasant time that you might encounter from not preparing correctly.

      Singapore is either hot or wet.
      Typical daily temperature is 31C to 33C but with humidity, it feels like 35C to 38C.
      Three essential things if you're visiting:
      A folding umbrella for sun or sun,
      Sun block to save your skin,
      Bottle of water to hydrate.
      There are many places with air-conditioning. If you feel faint from the sun, step inside and have a rest.
      Enjoy your holiday in sunny or rainy Singapore.

    We used to have lots of dark patches of dried gums on the footpath even the walls of buildings before the ban in 1992. Many foreigners find it amusing even ridiculous to have such ban in Singapore, but never knew how difficult and labor intensive just to remove all these gum stains from floor. Btw, it is not illegal to chew gum in Singapore, just don’t spit it on the floor or anywhere else beside the dustbins.

    Most of the items found in Singapore’s retail stores are usually a lot more expensive. Reason being high cost of rentals, and also most of the items like for example clothings are imported. Sometimes we Singaporeans purchase stuff off Amazon and have it shipped here as it can be cheaper than buying off the retail outlets. An example would be a pair of (I will not name brand) shoes would cost like USD79 in Amazon, plus shipping to SG for USD7, but will cost SGD209 here. That is double the price.

      Rodger Campbell I don’t think the authorities will give you any issues if you produce a legit doctor’s prescription. I am Singaporean and I frequently pack my first aid kit overseas. On my return I never got questioned. Off the counter drugs are perfectly fine although some drugs might be banned for failing the toxicity tests. At the very most you will be asked to dispose them away. Prescription drugs are fine as long as there is a prescription. Customs here are not pharmacists so as long as the medicines are in their packaging you will be ok. What you don’t want to bring are drugs that are loose and looks questionable.

    I lived in Singapore for 8 years and the issue of prohibitions was hardly noticeable. I agree with a few other posts which commented on the emphasis in this video on prohibitions and things you can’t do or bring. Singapore is hardly restrictive unless you want the freedom to bring in narcotics or watch porn. The truth is, the police presence is minimal (too low imv), and the screening at the airport far less strict on entry than other places. I find prohibition and regulation more of an issue where I now live in Germany and even Australia, where I spent most of my life. Other things worth considering when bringing with you are mosquito repellent (think dengue), sunscreen (many red tourists), Swimming costume (because they can be expensive to buy here and the size range may not cover the larger Caucasian).

    You guys did not mention the amount of CCTVs we have. Reason why we're safe is because of the CCTVs but most of the time they'll only use it IF there's trouble. Many 1st timers who visit SG will ALWAYS mention how strict we are and make it seem like we can't do much but in reality we are pretty chill people even though we have many laws that prohibit us from doing certain things. Gum is illegal to sell but in terms of chewing and bringing it to SG we tend to close one eye which is why when we visit Malaysia some of us will buy gums and bring into SG.
    Regarding 0:31 we have this saying "You can do anything, just don't get caught".

    Chewing gum was banned in Singapore more than 20 years ago for the reason that idiots stuck the chewed gum on lift buttons, chairs and threw them on the floor making a mess that cleaners take a long time to remove. Many senior citizens including me supported this ban. Even the Dubai metro also banned chewing gum!!!!! So, don't make a mountain out of a mole hill

    Singapore is crazy. I went there in the late 1980's. I had longish hair to my shoulders. The immigration guy went through every page in my passport - even those without stamps - looking at me after each page. I had flown in from Jakarta. He asked me where I'd been (normal - Indonesia), where I was going (normal - Malaysia/Thailand), and how long I planned to be in Singapore (normal - 2-3 days). He also asked how much money I had (kinda normal), then asked to see my cash (definitely not normal). He then stamped my visa for one week (as an American, I should have gotten 2 weeks) and told me to be out of the country in 3 days (most DEFINITELY not normal). I was laughing. Even the woman behind me thought it was crazy. I'd heard that in the 1970's the cops would cut guys' hair on the street if they thought it was too long. And in the 1990's they actually caned an American kid for graffiti (yeah, he was an idiot, but canning seems kind of a harsh punishment). Outlawing chewing gum seems kinda normal compared to. ;-) Still, I had a good time with my 4 days there, but it is my least favorite county I have visited so far (of 20 countries).

    Just a few notes, consuming & personal possessing of gum is not illegal but improper disposable will land you with a fine under the littering offence. Though very rare, if you are found downloading software or media from any BitTorrent like applications is illegal too; even possession in digital form is included from what I am aware. Oh, it is illegal to eat and drink any solids or substance with the train system, buses wise, that is debatable; or if you are okay with getting STOMP-ed :D

    Different philosophy on laws and enforcement. In the USA we develop our hardened criminals. Minor offenses in the US you get a pass or a slap on the wrist (in SF 84 car windows a day are broken and as long as the theft is under $900 it's a minor offense). Steal from cars...no problem, just don't steal really expensive stuff...right? Same for littering, drugs, etc. No fear of laws, never go to jail until the crime is huge.
    In Singapore they hit you hard on the small offense's so you fear the law. You don't move on to larger crimes. So no gum under tables and chairs, a very clean city, a safe city. The people aren't afraid to correct you, don't eat on the MRT, don't litter. Would you tell someone in the US not to eat on the subway? Not to litter? You would be given the middle finger or worse be punched in the face. Strong enforcement of minor infractions means less major crimes.

    • @andyhooutdoors
      @andyhooutdoors 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Darryl K You are right for the most part, except I am not too sure about the correctional part. The laws here are so strict sometimes we just chose to shut up and let the relevant authorities handle the issue. Hardly would you see a local walking up to someone to correct him for a mistake for fear of it escalating into a fight. When a fight do start here people will be very quick to call the police, and if the police can’t get everyone to resolve their differences then all will be hauled in. Not something we locals would like to get into.

    Yes, not only fines but death penalties and corporal punishment for just vandalism/graffiti. The good thing about Singapore is that you can bring in a lot of food items (like cooked food, fruit) that are not allowed into Western countries like Australia because obviously Singaporeans can't live without food. Singaporeans have been flying in cakes, pastries, nuts and fruit like mangoes into Singapore without any issues.

You are free to take photos anywhere but you are not allowed by law to take photos of any public servants and government buildings, example would be police officers and police stations. No photography in gazetted areas which if you are a tourist will most likely not see. In most buildings like shopping centers and office buildings, they do not allow photography inside the premises but they can’t stop you from taking photos of the building exterior from across the streets. Public parks and any other places are fine.
