I just stumbled over a useful webpage that offers help in preparing your trip to certain countries by providing a summarized etiquette about that places typical local behavior, eating habits etc. And Singapore is also on the list.

However, I had a good time reading the “Singapore Etiquette” because some things are just so out of place. I’m not blaming the author because he/she probably has never been here and looking at the worlds map, Singapore is clearly an Asian country (with supposedly Asian etiquette). However we all know that Singapore has its on laws and rules.
