As I read and recording to my own experience because I had been travel to Singapore years ago.

​

This country or the people in this country are focussing and concentrating on following the rules. For that, the crime rate is low their. Singaporeans place a lot of importance on discipline, and corporal punishment is widely accepted. Caning is not only used to punish criminals but also as a disciplinary measure in schools, the military, and in the domestic scene. 

Before you go their you must know these rules: 

 

  • Chewing Gum

Chewing gum is banned in Singapore so leave it at home when packing your bags.Improper disposal of gum and carrying large quantities of the banned product will cost a hefty fine of up to $1000 for first time offenders.

 

  • Littering

Singapore is bent on maintaining its reputation of being impeccably clean, with an active campaign against littering and stringent enforcement in place. First time offenders who throw small items like cigarette butts or candy wrappers are fined $300. Those who throw out bigger items like drink cans or bottles are considered defiant and are required to appear before the court. The punishment usually involves a Corrective Work Order (CWO), where the offenders clean up a specified area while wearing a bright luminous green vest. The CWO was implemented in the hopes of making offenders realize the hardship cleaners have to go through to keep the surroundings clean, and to make them understand just how unsightly litter is. It is also admittedly aimed at publicly shaming the offenders to ensure that they don’t regress to being a litterbug again.

​

  • Smoking

Smoking is prohibited in certain areas in Singapore. The smoking prohibition currently covers all indoor places where the public congregates. The ban was revised in 2009 to include indoor public places that are not air-conditioned, such as shopping centers, offices, and shops. Outdoor public facilities, like fitness areas, sports courts, and playgrounds, were also included in the extension. In 2013, the ban extended even further to include multi-purpose halls, pedestrian overhead bridges, covered walkways and link ways, hospital outdoor compounds, and a five-meter perimeter around bus shelters. The extension also includes common areas of residential buildings.

​

​

For that I can probably say that, Singapore consider to be more Guilt vs. Innocence.

​

How we can deal / What we should do ?

​

First of all, we as an emirates should know their rule before we get there. 

and the important thing is that, we should avoid breaking laws.

​

​

While in UAE I probably believe that it is Honor/Shame.

​

Because in UAE the decision are making based of families and group and it most be Approves or agrees with our cultures. their are honor of them selfs and the families and groups. being together or Community is more important than the individual. The relationships are very important. from which family or who is your father in very important in many kind of aspect . for example, if you won't to get job the first question that you may face is that, what is your family name and what is your father name and he is working , this is because they are thinking a lot about the back ground of the person.
