In Singapore, people get fined $500 for a cigarette end thrown in the street. Is it true?
The worst way to lose money in Singapore is probably through fines. Be it a careless mistake or a reckless moment, there is zero possibility of getting your money back.
If you smoked 2 packs a week and spend $14.10 per pack, your smoking habit would have cost you $1,466.40. Adding on to that, smoking in prohibited places can land you in a fine of $200, or up to $1,000 if convicted in court.
Singapore prides itself as a Clean and Green City and it surely does not tolerate littered pavements and streets.
First-time offenders can be fined up to $300, including Corrective Work Order (CWO) to pick or sweep up litter to reflect on how litter can mar our living environment.
After all, nothing works better than public shaming.
