Favorite thing: Tobacco products are allowed entry, subject to certain conditions:

Travellers can bring in cigarettes that do not have the “Singapore Duty Not Paid” marking or the prefix ‘E’ printed on the packet. However they must declare the cigarettes and proceed to pay duty and GST accordingly. More information can be found at the Singapore Customs website at www.customs.gov.sg

Favorite thing: There are signboards warning you about fines for smoking, drinking etc., in MRT stations and trains. Sometimes u do see some litters in the stations also. These warnings are mainly for maintaining discipline. But it is foolishness to try to violate them since all MRT stations are watched by several CCTVs.

Favorite thing: After admiring high rise buildings and a very tidy city, later I feel this very tidy city communicate with signboards. Effortlessly, I found many “No” sign everywhere.
I like those signs. It’s just cool. I think I am not the only person who see the “No” sign everywhere. I bumped to a shirt in the market with many “No” signs all over the shirt. Welcome to Singapore My Fellow Travellers.

Favorite thing: There is something strangely satisfying about seeing a traffic warden targeting a Ferrari. I think the German's call it Schadenfreude!
