fine city

Bus driver fined $200 for sleeping on park bench. Read about it here.

No wonder Singapore is so notorious for being such a draconian city.

What bullshit laws. Oh wait. There were no such laws in the first place! Nothing indicating that sleeping on park benches would be a criminal act, just a disclaimer that the 'Dos' and 'Don'ts' list was not exhaustive.

So it looks like our ruling regime is still using our ignorance to stay high-handed: rules and regulations are deliberately left to open interpretation so that people will not dare to try new things for fear of punishment.

@#$%$#^%$-
ment incroyable et insupportable!

Anyway isn't this 'law' just plain dumb? I wonder what the park rangers were thinking when they fined the poor bus driver. Didn't they feel stupid by accusing him of 'abusing the park bench'? I so want to head-butt those rangers.

And I don't even want to think about what other bizzare crimes one is capable of committing here in Singapore.

In related news, the Chees were sued for almost SGD1million for, well you guessed it, defamation suits against the Lees today.

Grah. La vie à Singapour, des amendes partout.
