Another unusual thing about Singapore is the strict controls on society. Singapore possesses some very tough laws regarding everyday life. To solve the problem of people putting their chewing gum on seats, chewing gum was made illegal in Singapore. People can be arrested or fined 1000 dollars for littering and people can even be fined 500 dollars for forgetting to Singapore might not enjoy some of the same liberties as they do in Thailand, but these strict laws make Singapore the most civilized country in ASEAN.
