Another amusing historical fact about Singapore involves the use of chewing gum. In 1992, the Singaporean government banned the import and sale of chewing gum to maintain cleanliness and prevent gum litter. The strict law was enforced so rigorously that even possession of chewing gum could lead to a hefty fine. However, this ban did not include nicotine or dental gums, which are considered therapeutic. The law has since been slightly relaxed to allow the sale of therapeutic gums, but the ban on regular chewing gum remains a unique and quirky aspect of Singaporean law.

The bicycle battalion or whatever it was called, where an army charged into Singapore on bikes. I honestly don't remember the details but the concept is certainly unusual.

Sentosa island has an âamusement parkâ that is nothing like what you find in the US. Even if you donât cover it you should definitely go. I remember the âbutterfly museumâ having live snakes, scorpions, and parrots you could hold. This was in 2008 though.

Very pleasant surprise ! I hope you enjoy our hawkers centers and whatnot. As for stories... You might as well review our contemporary history and how odd it is. From being kicked out a country, several decades of dubious shenanigans and the subsequent glowup that resulted from the unlikely maneuvers

Here's another interesting and quirky historical fact about Singapore: In the early 19th century, Singapore's founder, Sir Stamford Raffles, imposed a curfew for pigs. Raffles, who established modern Singapore as a British colony in 1819, noticed that pigs roaming freely in the streets were causing hygiene issues and disrupting public order. As a result, he decreed that pigs had to be kept off the streets between 7 PM and 7 AM.

Given the many falsehoods that have been repeated, even in the comments, here are a few things that you might want to consider: - Michael Fay was caned for vandalising cars, not chewing gum. Caning is always done privately. - Speaking of cars, cars are very expensive because of an auction system that only releases Certificates of Entitlement (which you need to own before you can even think of buying a car) when pre-existing cars are scrapped. It makes what would even be considered a cheap car in other countries exorbitant in Singapore (a Toyota Corolla costs S$160k here). Doesn't make the drivers in Singapore any better though. - Speaking of gum as well, owning it is not illegal, but importing it for non-medical purposes (nicotine gum) is. But if you want to bring it in for own use, at least try to hide it. Customs officers will still confiscate it if they see it. - During WW2, the port defenses in Fort Siloso could, and did turn landward to Johore to defend against the invasion, but because they were expecting an invasion by sea, they only loaded and supplied anti-ship anti-armour shot to the cannons and were thus less effective against the mostly infantry-based land invasion the Japanese did. - Not like the British were completely indifferent to the possibility of a landwards invasion by Japan. They planned Operation Matador, which would have put up a strong enough fight to stop the Japanese before taking over at least half of Peninsular Malaysia. It was scrapped because Britain failed to provide the materiél needed for the plan to work, and in its place Force Z was sent which got itself sunk by Japanese land-based aviation. The operation also lends its name to a rocket launcher partly developed in Singapore that is currently helping with russia's latest space program. - What the British did not expect was the Japanese bringing tanks into the jungle. They never brought any tanks to Malaya, though it would have been really funny to make the Ha-Go a bigger meme than it already is. They won't make the same mistake again during the Battle of Imphal where it was the IJA's turn to hold the Idiot Ball. - Singapore money is 1:1 exchangeable with the Bruneian ringgit to the point where you can just use Singapore money in Brunei directly. The same applies in the opposite direction as well.
