Travel Experiences 2 Singapore

Singapore is a fine country- you are fined for littering, and many other indiscretions. There is a strong Indian community, and idlis and dosas are everywhere in Little India- biryani too. I went there a  few times in the last few years, and mostly enjoyed it. Some pics of well-known places and people. Made a few friends at the NUS programs I attended (as a student), and caught up with some old ones.

Singapore is a Fine Country- What About Us?

This is a line that refers to the discipline enforced with fines of various types by Singapore. If we wanted to make ours a fine country, and earn billions in revenue for use in social causes, these would be my top picks-

1. Loud-mouths fine-anyone speaking above a normal decibel level in public would face a debacle.

2. Dicourteousness fine- showing discourtesy to fellow human beings would be a fine reason for one.

3. Littering fine- not applicable to cats or dogs, but to humans who litter-they haveto realise they are not cats.

4. Boasters Fine- those who talk about themselves, their language, or place they come from in boastful terms would be eligible to pay up. My guess is, we might be able to end the puffery pretty quickly.

5. One for those who forward posts containing errors in spelling or grammar. This alone should net millions.
