Thanks for the comment. I try and tell my South and North American friends go to Singapore but most go to Japan or say they'll go but end up never traveling anywhere
@@Air_Planemode Japan is ofcourse one of the best to go but Singapore has been rapidly rising their stock is now high amazing to see the city with blends of nature parks and city side plus the multi cultural ambiance of Indian, Malay and Chinese heritage. Best airport in the world!
@@Air_Planemode nice 😊. I’m bound to Tokyo on April. If my budget permits will go back to SG late this year or another January next year. Went to Malaysia 6 years ago in Johore Bahru one day trip via Singapore Woodlands border.
Chewing gum is not a crime, a common misconception and piece of misinformation. You are not allowed to import and sell chewing gum. Chewing gum in front of the police will not get you arrested 😂
The ban started because ppl was sticking used gums on the train doors and causing the doors to get stuck and the train stalled.. and ppl stuck gums under the train seats and etc.. so the govt decided to just ban it, because the cons is bigger than the joy of chewing it.
@@Air_PlanemodeSo you didn't get fined. You CANNOT bring in Large quantity. It is banned.We usually hide it and of coz in small quantity and hoping we don't get caught.The most ICA officer throws it away.
2 types of chewing gum are sold in Pharmacies. Nicotine and Dental Gum. the sales of other type of gum are banned. But you can bring in a small amount for personal consumption. We regularly buy them from Malaysia (Johor) for our own consumption. Passed Customs without any issues.
Thanks for viewing. Sold in Pharmacies. I was referring to regular gum. The kind you don’t have to go to a pharmacy to get. Customs and immigration can’t catch everyone but they got me about 5 years ago.
@@Air_Planemode Yea the chewing gum thing is not actively enforced but as officers they will still remind others about it, even more so if you are tourist since they are less likely to know. The main thing about chewing gum nowadays are more of the sales part or maybe buying in bulk with intention to sell.
l think you meant *monoculturalism or mono-ethnicity* like Japan or South Korea as opposed to Singapore's *multiculturalism.* Anyway, welcome, and glad you are here. Do drop by often.
While Singapore is a small city, there are many. places off the beaten tracks that can be explored to fully experience the diversity. When it comes to fines, not everything is strictly enforced all the time. You can chew gum; you just can’t import or sell them.
Although there are a lot of laws with fines, many are not actively enforced. Most people dont break these rules though. I actually hope to see more stringent enforcement of these littering and smoking laws
Your comments are very kind. Nowhere is perfect, not least, Singapore. Perhaps it is also not fair comparison with many countries. However, we’re thankful that we have an effective and hardworking government and civil services that keeps our tiny nation.
correction though........ consume of chewing gum is NOT illegal. Just you cannot sell. I bought some and consumed in Singapore when came back from overseas. Totally fine buddy!
my longest flight was also sg to lax. first time in the states and i still had to get onto a train to san diego. I’m not even sure how i survived such a long journey lol anyway, thanks for the enjoyable video! although, i think singapore needs more than a day to be discovered fully
Thanks for the comment. So you have experienced that long flight as well. After you finally arrive you totally forget about the ride back lol. Yes, 1 day is not enough for Singapore unless it's a short layover.
No way I would punish myself with any flight over 12 hours. I usually fly New York > LA > Honolulu > Wherever in Asia I want to visit. Either that or New York > London > Vienna/Munich/Stockholm > Asia or London > Dubai > Asia.
All of Southeast / East Asia is safe. It's not like you go to Thailand or Philippines or Indonesia and your life is suddenly in danger compared to Singapore. Also, all of east Asia like China, Korea, Taiwan, Japan are even cleaner and "safer" than Singapore per capita. In general no foreigner is going to be robbed, assaulted, raped or murdered in Southeast or East Asia. It's just not part of the culture there. Buddhism instills a lot of discipline and karma into people there.
You can chew gum here, no sweat. You just can’t sell it. We chew gum all the time, when we have it. We normally bring it in when we return from overseas.
Yes you can but but unfortunately my 2nd time visiting while at immigration I was told its ban and they put it in the trash. So traveling to any country in the world you can bring whatever you want in but if caught its a whole different story
@@Air_Planemode that’s interesting. Because it says clearly in the law it isn’t . Unless the amount you brought in is huge. There really is no reason. We do it all the time.
So far the 3 Asian countries I have visited are low crime. Out of all the continents I’ve visited I would say Asia has the lowest crime rate and is the safest continent. Thanks for the comment
@@Air_Planemodehopefully not too many of them will come here. Don't forget Singapore is somewhat Malay related. If you didn't know, Malay is our national language. Our national anthem and military commands are also in Malay. And this country that you "love" so much, has our 1st Malay president's face printed on the currency.
@@bearfamily269 Thanks for the comment. Yes Singapore was part of Malaysia until the separation. At the 5 minute mark I put a pop up to let people know. Hopefully after this trip I can go to Malaysia to see the difference between the two since its next door and flights are cheap.
PLS DONT LISTEN to that nonsense guy. He made up a story & twisted facts. SG wasnt kicked out due to racism, IT WAS DUE TO MALAYSIA NOT WILLING TO GO BY FAIR SYSTEM TO TREAT EVERY RACE EQUALLY. Anyone can google & find out FACT & TRUTH for themselves instead of listening to this nonsense guy. I cannot believe u even gave a like to his idiotic lies??Do u know how wrong that is to hurt a country WITHOUT any fact & spread toxic news like this? Can u pls report on him & kick him out?? 😭😭For what reason we need to listen to his loads of bullshit??😭😭🤮 @@Air_Planemode
Thanks for this video. I would really suggest you to travel to more countries here in SE Asia, so you can make a more informed comparison. Not saying your conclusions are incorrect, but just Thailand, Indonesia and Singapore is a small part of (SE) Asia. Personally (being married to a Singaporean and having lived there for more than a decade), I think Singapore is overrated, especially the part of ‘safety’ and ‘fines’. Honestly, there are very few people being actually fined for eating durian in the MRT / smoking in public areas / jaywalking etc etc. It’s more of a gimmick. As for safety, Asia overall is very safe, when being compared to other parts of the world, like USA, Latin America or Europe and Africa. Not just Singapore. I live in Kuala Lumpur and also hold a property in Bangkok and nowhere ever did I feel unsafe or threatened.
Thanks for the comment. I can only speak on the travels of what I've experienced. For now the comparison is that. The more I travel the more add on countries I speak of. You might think of Singapore as overrated but we all have opinions. As mentioned in the video my travels here is back and fourth for 13 yrs which means I have tons of friends here
WTF is wrong with u?? Singapore just cane anyone for no reason?? Give me a fcxking break,your malaysia laws WORST & TOUGHER than Singapore.U even need to punish ur ministers with canning system!!💀OMG what??🤣🤣 What kind of wierd country would cane their leader & minister. This is so crazy & unheard of in Singapore!! We dont even punish commercial crimes with canning system, only stupid country do that Singapore canning system ONLY use it for SERIOUS & HARD CORE offences like murder,rapes,child abuser or molester, drug related cases. And it is case by case basis we dont apply the laws blindly UNLIKE ur developing country Malaysia.😵💫🤗
What the f#€k is wrong with u? Everyone in the region knows that Malaysia has the worst punishment with worst canning system. U even canned ur minister & leader OMG. Singapore will never have this stupid system that anyhow cane ppl, we don’t cane ppl that commit commercial crime eso not on ministers😮😱 We only use canning system for VERY serious offences like murder, rape, child abuser or molester, assault,or drug related crimes. But we don’t everyone that commits those mentioned crimes; even if they commit these crimes it really is depends on case by case basis. ❤Singapore does not have unreasonable laws like Malaysia.😎 Singapore still able to remain as safest country in asia & top 10 in the world for many decades❤❤❤. Malaysia don’t even come that close to us.😂🤣That’s why they are still developing & irrelevant country.🤭🤭
I am Singapore and am pleased with the praises you shower on Singapore. There is One country that far surpasses Singapore in everything you mentioned, and as someone coming from the wesr, you've probably been told otherwise by your media and government . . . Especially if you are from America. That country is CHINA! This country has been grossly underrated and given a wrong and bad reputation by the Anglo-Saxon media. If you've never been there before, next time you come to Singapore, do try to visit. Depending on which country you come from. China is offering a 144 hrs Free Transit Visa, or a 30 Days Visa-Free entry.
Thanks for watching. Unlike some countries the west media is open sourced so we can criticize our government through social media, radio and tv so we see everything. Well those who are into geopolitics like myself. But in the video I said I only compared Asian countries I have visited. I have never visited China yet.
Went to Singapore last February my 6th visit the past 10years. I will still want to go back.

CHEWING GUM IS NOT AGAINST THE LAW IN SINGAPORE 🇸🇬 ! SELLING CHEWING GUM IS ILLEGAL ! 😂😅😊
Tell immigration this lol. Thanks for watching
Low crime doesn’t mean no crime. Singapore is mostly safe for all, especially women.

Welcome welcome to Singapore anytime!🤩🤗❤️

Just dispose off properly the sugar free chewing gum you bring into 🇸🇬 .
In a day is over exaggerated…if visitors behavior and stick to the rules of keeping the place clean, fine is not a concern at all.
With layovers a day is possible but intentionally visiting for a day is crazy. Thanks for viewing

But please dispose the gums properly, or else.

The rest of Asia isn't particularly dangeorus. Asia has the lowest crime per capita on earth. Only 1/12th the crime of the Western world.

Singapore 🇸🇬 is also the most expensive city to visit in Asia.
Not really true, can be very cheap if you get out from the Central Area. The only expensive in Singapore is car and house, the rest are just media.
Misconception. Go local then it's not expensive 😂😂😂
Japan and HK: hold my beer 😅
Have you been to Singapore? May I know where are you from?
Did you fly the nonstop from NYC to SIN or LAX to SIN? Malaysia is next door to SIN.
Flying to SE Asia always feels like I’m going to another planet lol. DC to LA to SIN
@Air_Planemode NYC to SIN nonstop on Singapore Airlines is one of the longest in the world taking around 19 hours.
