Singapore's well known for it racial harmony and racism is a strict no-no here.There are 4 main races in Singapore, namely the Chinese, Malay, Indians and the Eurasians.There are lots of nice food here. This is because of the years racial mixture, there are really interesting types of food here. Its usually a combination of different cultures and races. Signapore is known as 'Food Paradise' when it comes to food.Singapore's a tourism hub so there are sure lotrs of stuff to do here. Alot of tourists attractions. The tagline for Singapore this year is 'Uniquely Singapore'. If you guys have any questions, do feel free to post them here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andyy15 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2004 I would love to stop by and visit Singapore one day. Half of my family lives in Thailand, so maybe the next time I visit them I will hopefully get a chance to stop by. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shackman 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2004 That's interesting. One thing you guys might like to know is that chewing/bubble gum is banned in Singapore...and that the authorities are really strict, especially with littering.I bet you would find it an exciting experience if you come here on a tourist visit...I won't say much about if you come here to work....-Shackman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shackman 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2004 The government is afraid that the people would stick the gum everywhere.... Imagine going onto a train and find chewing gum on your seat..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
triax 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2004 singapore is a good country for foreigner to visit and work, but DO NOT take up the citizen and permanent resident, its crap. The gov prefer foreigner than its own citizen, so do you think its a good country to live in? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yesure 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2004 Singapore is well known in USA because an USA citizen was punished with a whip in Year 1994 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shackman 0 Report post Posted August 7, 2004 I once saw a TV-show claiming that pavements in Singapore are washed with soap every night. I have always found that hard to believe.No..that is not true. However, our pavements are cleaned and maintained regularly. You see, since Singapore is such a small country, its easy to take care and maintain of all these stuff.Regarding the USA citizen, I think his name is Michael. He vandalised the cars in Singapore. (Anyway, vandalising is wrong)The government here takes a serious stance of crimes and will not tolerate anything monkey.About Singapore Government having preference to foreigners to local citizens, its not really true. However, the govenment wants foreign talent. No matter what race or religon, you are treated with equal respect in Singapore.Anyway, National Day is 2 days away...9th August is National Day...
