    Singapore the FINE city


    This printed T-shirt drew my attention when I passed by Pagoda Street, Chinatown.

    The words are kinda small in the picture:
    No smoking - $500
    No chewing gum $1000
    No littering $1000
    No Urinating $1000
    No flower-picking $500
    No Flushing - $500
    No Bird-feeding - $1000
    No water wasting - $500
    No Spitting - $1000

    Everything fine.
    There are more:
    No parking coupon, fine.
    Jay walking, fine.
    Misuse of monthly travel pass, fine
    ...
    ...
    ...

    One more... not fine, but jail.
    About a year ago a jobless man wanted to commit suicide.
    So, he jumped down from his HDB flats.
    Unfortunately, he fell on a little girl, and broke the girl's leg.
    He wanted to die, but failed, ended up being sent to the jail, sad case...
