SINGAPORE TRAVEL GUIDE – If you are a first time visitor of this country, here are some of the things you must keep in mind.
Just as modern as Japan is Singapore but there are a lot of distinct features about the latter country that is different from the former. Singapore is a lovely, sunny country in the South-East Asia – one of the world’s most prosperous countries and most popular travel destinations.
One fun fact about SG, it is one of the three thriving and surviving city-states in the world and the other two are Monaco and the Vatican City.
If you are planning to experience advanced living in SG, we have some guides and tips in terms of rules and regulations in the country.
Remember these dos and don’ts:
- Chewing gum is prohibited and the SG government is very strict about this. Even purchasing gum is prohibited unless it is for medical purposes. If you don’t follow and still do this, you will face a first-offender fine.
- Littering is prohibited in Singapore. There are bins everywhere where you can throw your garbage. This is one of the strict rules in the country and the result is just amazing as to how clean the surrounding is.

- Jaywalking is also not allowed and if you are caught breaking this rule, you will be facing a serious punishment.
- If you are quite on a tight budget, avoid using taxis. This mode of transportation is expensive. Instead, try the state of the art MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) and explore SG like a local! This country has an efficient transportation system, one of the best in the world.
- Tap water in SG is drinkable. The water is of high standard and perfectly safe for drinking.
- Bring some cash always.
