It is a "fine" country, bec of the fines and penalties it implements on law violators. But despite that, its still a fine country, with its progressive economy and well-disciplined populace. I have been to Singapore and i admire its government.

thanks for your comments.. singapore is easily managable coz of its size, progressive economy, yes, i just hope that it wont become another Japan where standard of living is too high and everything turns costly. :S

I like cleanness and order but is it really necessary with all those fines to make people behave...? Perhaps it is a way to get in some money...but how do they know if someone has chewing gum in a hidden pocket? Do they stop people in the streets and search them???

Well, Singapore like any other country has fines as a good reason to prevent people from doing what their country sees as unnacceptable, Now from the US We'd see chewing gum fine as kind of silly, but we can understand the fine of not spitting chewing gum into the proper trash recepticle, as I have seen pillars of Bubblegum, and that is naaaaaaaaasty. Spitting fine may seem silly to many, but it makes sense as many colds, etc, can pass through spit, and I think that is a good fine. - DNatureofDTrain
