人身安全
Singapore is a very safe country with a relatively low crime rate. However, petty crime, such as pick-pocketing, does occur in busy tourist areas and transportation hubs.
You should be aware that Singapore has very conservative expectations and laws, some of which apply to behaviour and some which would be considered minor in other countries. Familiarize yourself with these laws to avoid severe penalties. Some examples of these laws follow.
It is illegal to consume alcohol in Singapore in public between 22:30 and 07:00. Drinking and driving can bring severe penalties, including up to 10 years in prison. Drunk and disorderly behaviour is not tolerated and is treated seriously.
Penalties for even minor drug offenses are severe, and penalties for drug convictions can range from fines to the death sentence. A person can be prosecuted for a drug offense if drug use is detected by blood or urine test even if the drugs were consumed outside Singapore.
Some prescription and over-the-counter medications could be controlled substances under Singapore law. Depending on your prescription medications, you may be required to apply for approval at least 10 working days prior to your arrival.
A law referred to as “outrage of modesty” covers a wide range of offenses. Penalties can range from fines to very severe consequences, and the law extends even to behaviour on airlines registered in Singapore. “Outrage of modesty” can include men behaving inappropriately towards women, using inappropriate language, inappropriate touching, etc.
Public displays of affection could be considered offensive. Other behaviours that can bring penalties are smoking in public places, chewing gum or even bringing gum into the country, spitting, littering, jaywalking, eating or drinking on the transit system, etc.
You can be fined or possibly be given a jail sentence if you bring into the country items such as e-cigarettes, e-pipes, e-cigars, and refills.
If your passport is damaged or pages are missing, you could be denied entry into Singapore.
