Singapore Fines

I heard a lot about Singapore and fines before - in particular jay walking and chewing gum (?)
Do they have these rules because they are commonly performed? Are there similar laws in your neck of the woods?
Reminds me of how some elevators in council houses back in the UK stank of pee.

Yeah fines are the way we do things around here.
I tagged along on an operation once to catch people smoking duty unpaid cigarettes and you'd be amazed at the number of fines we issued in one night.
Myself-finder
not much pple perform these acts now since there's the fines, but for those more "rewarding" ones like trafficking and unpaid cigarettes ( as above), the fines are exercised more than the whole of pple in DC exercising their d_lph_ns. ( buy a vowel?)
mostly caught i believe would be speeding, drunk-driving, and unpaid duty stuff.

This may be an odd question, but I dont live in Singapore.. But how do all these people come across unpaid cigarettes?

smuggled ^^;;
anyway cigarettes sold in sg now have a duty paid stamp around each individual stick, so be careful if you bring any smokes in ^^;;;;;;
Student =P
Mmm hmm! And really, it's quite smart of some people to put pictures of harmed body parts due to smoking on the packaging itself. =D First time that happened and I saw one, it scared the hell out of me O.O

Singapore is a fine country~
To be honest, i jay walk every morning to get the the bus stop and nothing happen yet.

yeah, did that couple of times. LOL.
just hope no patrol lurking somewhere.
Student =P
That's the truth about some people these days. I jaywalked right before a police car and... I don't think they saw me. Or at least, I don't think the bothered to do anything about it. xD

I does that everyday after school.. I mean, i'm sure any one would do that as compared to walking a few hundred meters to the overhead bridge and another few hundred back to the bus stop.. =="

i got questioned by the singaporean cops once when i was 11yo for having hair that was too "long" Never been back to singapore ever since.

oh that's such a pity. that would be becuz most of the primary school in sg(aka 11yr) dun allow long hair.

I'm surprised it's only $500... should be $1000 at least.
Prospective University of Waterloo student
Yeah, you'd think it'd cost more than littering, which doesn't seem as bad, and more common (here in Canada anyways).

It's quite common, eps in the HDBs (government housing buildings) in some particular areas..
Thx god the HDB has gotten better now..

Should be at least $5000.

A key reason to prefer Japan - elsewhere in Asia it's necessary to legislate behavior such as where NOT to urinate, to ensure they flush a toilet, etc. Without this the city would be a pigsty. A "modern" city? Hardly. More advanced than other Asian cities outside Japan? Yes. And that is sad.

You can get fined for it in the States too.

Its silly too, cause in the US (At least any place in the US that I'm aware of) pedestrians have the right of way at all times on any roadway. Even on the friggen' highway, where it's illegal for them to be in the first place.
So, we can get fined for it, even though we have the right of way. Kinda screwy, no?

There are fines in Los Angeles but it's not like their a big deal. Unless you j-walk anywhere near an LAPD officer on a motorcycle, those guys are the worst. They even hide in corners to see if anyone is speeding or runs a red light, or makes unecessary turns at an intersection.
BioResearch Assistant
It's been a while since I've last been to LA but they've also got a big problem with people peeing where they're not supposed to. The worst one I've seen was while at a restaurant and noticing a person across the street going on a wall....one reason why I prefer not to sit near a window while eating....
Red light and speed cameras took most of the work off cops around here. I don't mind them much since they do in fact make the streets safer. There's this one straightaway stretch of road near a school I pass-by all the time...usually two or three accidents a month due to speeding, some so bad they ruin the day. Once they put in a speed camera...no accidents since.

http://loli1983.wordpress.com
Lol.......urinating is normal now. Almost everyone does it. Try spotting people doing, well, let's call it number 2, all over the place. I think peoples 'number 2' is far far worst than urinating where they are not supposed to. Usually it's the homeless but then again giving a homeless person a citation is pointless. Where are they gonna get the money to pay the fine and what makes LAPD think they won't do it again? It's actually bothering me and this happens anywhere surrounding the Skidrow area in Downtown Los Angeles.
BioResearch Assistant
True...as gross as it is. Down here we had the same problem with homeless people doing their business. But it was mainly on the train platforms where all the people stand and wait for the line to come in. The underground stations are considerably nicer than outside.
They setup more enforcers to watch for that since it started to hit news when people commuters complained about how when they reach their stop they have to watch their step.
Retired programmer, anime lover
Yeah, I hate coming out of a place and walking by some jerk taking a whiz on the wall. They could at least try to be a little discreet.
BioResearch Assistant
I can't read the last word on the left-most, second row. "No eating and drinking in...where?"
For the most part, those fines are understandable and usually part of law in many countries...public urination, littering, possession of drugs and/or potential HAZMATs, vandalism...
The feeding animals fine is a bit much...but may be considered littering so I can see where they're coming from. Chewing gum is also too much.
Jaywalking is technically illegal here, but considered so minor that it's barely ever enforced unless the person committing the infraction is disruptive and possibly a threat or in a potentially hazardous state (i.e. Under the influence of a controlled substance...). Once in a while though, but still rarely, you'll encounter that very zealous police officer who will go ahead and take-down a jaywalker.

Honestly, they have these rules as a way to profit off foreigners
Don't believe me? look at the picture above. Feeding pigeons will cost you 1000$ but 'urinating' in a public building? well that's only half as bad
The 'claim' is that people chew gum and spit it on the ground making the country dirty
In reality, it is only the Southeast Asian natives who are accustomed to littering, most travelers do not litter
I heard there are accepted forms of littering in Japan
Just your average anime fan and blogger...
http://www.thebanzaieffect.com/
I hope by "Southeast Asian natives" you meant "locals" because otherwise you just sound prejudiced to me.
And honestly, there is no need to set up fines just to ripoff tourists. The Government sets up fines and do you think they would do so to earn money out of tourists that way? That's like killing the goose to get the eggs.
With regards to pigeons, I would like to point out that droppings are a problem when there's a large flock of them. And the last time I checked, pigeons can spread bird flu, urinating in a building doesn't.
As for the chewing gum, the argument for and against is quite established and I can't be bothered to type it out here. But the claim that some people do spit it or stick it in various undesirable places is true. I'm sure this is not limited to Singapore alone. I agree the ban is abit much but neither am I against it.

There're still plenty of people with gum anyway.
Fines are a form of deterrence, and Singaporeans need alot of them.
http://tenori-taiga.blogspot.com/
This is what I mean
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Singapore
But true, most of the offenders are probably just made to stop
I personally know of many people who have had bubble gum confiscated
my point though, was that the fine is well and above what a typical resident would be able to afford on their monthly salary living here
Myself-finder
still i dun think the police will catch foreigners on purpose. maybe they will be let off once. i saw a foreigner from asia smoking in the airport, and he was asked, albeit sternly to stop. no fines
College Student
I don't know the entire details, but when I was in Hong Kong, my family there told me that Hong Kong was very strict on any kind of littering. You could be fined heavily on the spot if an officer sees you, Hong Kong has officers on foot patrol.
In a way having heavy fines on littering may deter future littering and trash problems. Chewing gum should be fine unless you spit it out on the street. While walking down the many populated streets in HK island during the day, I've noticed the sidewalks was mostly free of trash, newspapers and cigarette buds. i was amused by cigarette bins every few feet and all of them had many buds sticking out.
Myself-finder
they even check documents.

These are not too ridiculous, I know in the U.S. there is a city where you can be fined for putting ice cream in your back pocket. A lot of odd laws, like this, aren't really enforced in the U.S. but they exist.

Apparently the Chewing Gum Law was revised in 2004, gum - only ones considered to be therapeutic - can only be sold by pharmacies who have to take down your personal information if you purchase. As well, proper disposal of the gum is a major issue...
Student/Fanboy
I thought Singapore was notorious for having that "littering gum" law where if you drop gum or leave gum on the pavement, you can risk getting fined several thousand dollars and get WHIPPED with a long BULL WHIP....several times.
People who have had to endure this punishment still have scars on their backs to this day....

wonder if people urinating in lifts were a big problem to put it in the fine warning about them.
anyway about the question, the Philippines have this crazy rule about using your car, if the plate ends in 1 or 2, the car can't be driven on monday, 3 or 4 on tuesday, 5-6 on wednesday, 7-8 on thursday and 9 or 0 on friday. I actually got caught once, thankfully though I still had my Canadian driver's license, gave it to the cop and act as though it was the first time I heard about it. ^^ he tried explaining it to me in english, in the end he was having a hard time explaining the rules that he gave my license back and told me to just go away. ^^;

Littering is common in Malaysia.
Even though the government encourages us not to litter, we still do so.
I don't know whether those people realize what they're doing..
It's not hard to look for a trash can and throw your rubbish there..
I guess this is pretty common in all parts of the world..
Hmm..mind telling me why we can't chew gum in public in Singapore?
Passerby
http://jitokun.wordpress.com/
Because people used to paste the sticky chewing gum on lift buttons, floor, etc.. which cause lots of inconvenience to the public. So government decided to ban chewing gum in Singapore.
Littering is still quite common here even though there is a fine. We had to depend on the cleaners to sweep the streets early in the morning everyday before everyone wakes up.

it's just strong law enforcement by the government to 1) deter any offenders from causing trouble 2) maintain a strong, positive image and 3) earn more money through fines. hefty fines.
even students aren't spared. my friend was caught drinking on a MRT (a type of subway) platform. luckily she was wearing her school uniform, or else she would have had to pay the full fine of $500 instead of the $50 she paid.
sad to say though, these offenses still happen daily, at ever corner, just that the offenders aren't caught D:
and lastly, a lot of people think that Singapore is a clean city... but in reality, it's a CLEANED city. we have like, thousands-strong battalion of cleaners, cleaning the streets of Singapore 24/7.

I really wish I took a picture of it. In the train station I saw a ($1000 ?) fine jumping down onto the tracks.
All those fines, and Singapore's reputation really had an effect on all the US sailors when we pulled in. Which is amazing because even the egotistical American 18 year old's acted like civilized adults.

Sorry but I didn't have time to read all the comments, but my eyes fail me on the death sentence one, what's that say?
I still can't believe peeing in a elevator is such a common problem that you have to institute a fine for it. People must have small bladders to relieve themselves quickly and zip up. Unless they live in a high-rise. But how brazen do you have to be to pee in a elevator. What if someone gets in after you're done? How do you explain the urine all over the floor and walls?

I think this would be nice if we had those kind of laws and it was enforced. I'm sure we have laws against littering, but we could probably litter in front of a police and he would probably not even care.

I think the problem is the same as Brazil... we have a f*ckton of laws, and every couple of years the government passes a law that makes it more expensive and more hard to get a driver license here.
But the truth is: What out country lacks is not laws, nor more hours of driving practice in driving schools... it's EDUCATION.
Plain and simple. Creating more laws and making people spend more money and hours in driving schools won't solve the education problems.
But it is a great excuse for the government to say "they are doing something about it".
It's very easy to do, they don't have to spend money on it (we the people do, not them), and part of the population is stupid enough to get convinced that the government is trying to do something about it.
