I well remember flying through Singapore many years ago, and having hair cut by immigration officials before allowing me to enter as it was below my collar Your post reminds me of an acquaintance who complained about his lifetime jobless brother (69 years old) who was turned back by Singapore Immigration because of his hair and dirty appearance. This lad actually gets his daily food from dumpster diving. The truth was that his appearance was dirty looking and his hair was down to his shoulders. Singapore can be criticized for requiring an adherence to laws but when visiting the place I didn't get the feeling anything was oppressive. The most impressive feeling I got from Singapore is "everything works". Even traffic mitigation is so seamless it almost seems there are no obstructions in the first place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singaporeans were fastidious about looking smart in the city. I was also unused to seeing fat people. After 2 years of a disciplined country the extent of lawlessness at home was also shocking. No gangs visible in Singapore, and all over the place at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugis Street was "dirty" enough for anyone. There was also Virgin's Corner in Nee Soon, but that's too dirty to write about on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
