The Asian Civilisation Museum is also a prime example of a cultural Singapore attraction that you must visit as soon as possible. The rich tapestry of the Asian civilisations are realised in life like and breathtaking models and statues transported from dig sites all over Inner Mongolia, China and all over South East Asia. Be amazed as they tell the histories and lifestyle of Old Asia in a way no – one can, through pictures and objects that inspire the greatest story teller of all – your imagination. This museum also deals with propaganda and cultural material and how politics of old and of new has changed the face of culture in countries like Burma, Indonesia and China.

There is no end to the sort of cultural experiences you can enjoy in Singapore. The National Heritage Board has a smorgasbord of facilities and organisations to whet the cultural appetite. They have converted the old Ford Factory in Singapore to a memorial – museum like emporium of the 1960′s. The Peranakan Museum and the Singapore Philatelic Museum are just some of the examples of rich locations where you can view great cultural pieces and demonstrations for just a nominal fee.

Singapore is culture. It is founded on culture, built by tradition and lovingly shaped by hundreds of years of history – a maelstrom of inculturality that has given this country an identity that is rich, varied and beautiful. Singapore has decided to share this with anyone who wants to look, as well as bringing the rest of greater Asia into a single location – to inspire a living heritage and dynamic cultural attractions.

Independent
Singapore women today are more focused on education and their career. They are not rushing into marriages at young ages and are waiting later in life to have children. Some people think this is a huge mistake and worry about the culture of Singapore declining as a result. In fact, they often blame the Western world for influencing their young women to be more independent.

The truth is that women in Singapore are just not as interested in getting married anymore. If they are not married and have started a family by the age of 30, they will never likely do it. At that age, they are already in an established career and would have to give so much up to have the family they may not even want to have. So, they are using their rights to choose not to marry.

Beauty
Let’s face it, when it comes to men, beauty is almost everything. In fact, many men won’t give an ugly girl a second look. Singapore ladies are some of the most beautiful ladies in the world. They have that signature Asian look, without being too ethnic in style. They have perfect skin and hair and almost always are at a perfect weight. One main reason men love these women is because they are physically attractive.

Strength
Another reason why many men love Singapore women is because they are strong in character. They love the idea of a woman fighting for what she believes in. Women in Singapore today are not simply sitting back and letting men rule the world and some men find that fact very thrilling and attractive. In fact, they are getting into politics and other worldly issues.

Purity
Although women from Singapore are strong and are fulfilling their own personal plans, while many times putting tradition aside, they are still pure in nature. This is something that many men find ultimately attractive. Women will save themselves for their future husband, which is what many men are looking for. So, even though they are out there doing their own things, they still uphold the strongest values.

But then you unknowingly do something silly and illegal, then end up being picked up by a police officer. Not a very nice situation to be in.

This article highlights some of the common ‘unknown’ laws in Singapore which every visitor should take note of. Make sure you don’t break these laws and ruin your holiday!

Bring in Chewing Gum
Don’t chew gum or bring gum into Singapore. Singapore’s ban on chewing gum has often been cited by critics as an example of the city-state’s overly strict laws.

Guess what? The penalty for smuggling gum into the country is one year in jail, and a S$10,000 fine.

Eat on the MRT
Another thing to take note of is to never, ever eat on the Mass-Rapid-Transit (MRT) system. There is a hefty S$500 fine is you eat anything on the train – so if you’re hungry, be sure to leave the eating when you’re off the train.

Litter
This one is extremely embarrassing if you’re caught. Anyone caught littering in Singapore’s streets will be issued a Corrective Work Order (CWO). That means having to wear a CWO jacket and being made to sweep public roads or clean up litter as a form of community service.

Smoke in Air-Conditioned Places
If you smoke, be sure you step outside a building to smoke. Smoking within air-conditioned areas in Singapore is not allowed. There is a hefty fine if you do it – so don’t let the urge to smoking cost you.

Jaywalk
Jaywalking across public roads is also not allowed. While the traffic police are usually not very vigilant in this area – if you are caught, be prepared to pay a hefty fine too. So remember, no jaywalking – use the traffic lights or overhead bridges.

Conclusion
Singapore has been known to be a place full of strict laws. While some may not agree to them, it’s best to comply if you’re here on holiday – so that your holiday experience is the best it can be.
