Chewing gum is banned

When I read on the internet that chewing gum is banned in Singapore I really shocked, I thought that it's not true and a do a lot of research then I believe that is true. It's like a strangest rule that I hear about it.The banned product will cost a hefty fine of up to $1000 for first time offenders.

Things that you should know before you go to Singapore.
learn some Singlish

English is widely spoken in Singapore. However, you will find Singaporeans’ speech peppered with Singlish. Singlish is a portmanteau word made from the conjunction of “Singapore” and “English”. Singlish borrows terms from the Chinese, Malay and Tamil languages. 

​

For example:

 

* Can lah – It can be done.

* Cannot lah – It cannot be done.

* Dat one finish oreddy – That one has finished already.

 

Certain Singlish terms used in everyday speech:

* Aiyah – term used to express exasperation (e.g. Aiyah! I can not wait anymore).

* Ang mo – term for Caucasians.

* Makan – food/to eat.

* Rojak – mixed.

* Chope- to reserve something.

Approach to conflict  or how we can resolve/ deal with this thing: 
Collaborating 

Because both of us should get sense or work together. For example, if we go there and meet anyone who talk this language “Singlish” he should try to make us know what he means to avoid any of misunderstanding and we as emirates should learn few of this language or an important thing that we should know before we get there.

Avoiding 

We must know this rule before we go their and try as possible we can to avoid chewing gum because we will pay $1000 if we didn't follow this rule.

Breaking the rules 

Recording to what I saw on the internet, I can probably say that Singaporean follow all the rule and do not prefer breaking the laws. In Singapore if you break the rule at the first time you should pay and at the second time you will  have a disciplinary punishment. For example first time offenders who throw small items like cigarette butts or candy wrappers are fined $300.

If you are convicted of littering three times, you will have to clean the streets once a week and  say, “I am a litterer.” It is admittedly aimed at publicly shaming the offenders to ensure that they won’t litter again.

Before we travel to any country we must know their rule to avoid any problems.

Connecting to another person's WIFI

According to Singapore’s Computer Misuse and Cypersecurity Act, using another person’s WiFi is defined as hacking. The penalty for this is a hefty $10,000 fine, 3 years in jail, or both.

In our country we don't have any penalty or punishment for connecting to others wifi. For that, as I said before we should be very careful about the rules.
