although singapore is a lot more strict about cleanliness......contrary to what the western media would have you believe, i don't think its just a minor offense like littering which lands you in trouble...or is it ?....i would think normally it would be vandalism, planned, deliberate vandalism which is punished ruthlessly....esp if it is a repeat crime..... The reason for the strictness comes from the kind of trade zone it is...the demograhics of the place makes it imperative for the govt to make it a law......the same reason why Toyota Corolla cost $80K there... I guess their values are different from the western values...and kids there grow up respecting authority and the law ! And who am I to judge what is right or wrong for them ? Its all perceptions.... But if I were to visit your house, I'd make sure I follow the rules that you enforce in your house...else maybe I shouldn't be visiting you at all....i won't be welcome if I challenge your way of life ? Dubai, on the other hand, is more tolerant....even of petty crimes like car thefts and such...serious crime has much more serious punishment though... Duabi takes away a little freedom....not much...its a plesant place to stay...a good compromise IMO !
