C'mon, don't be such a country pumkin and belittle Singapore implicitly. I am a Hongkonger that lived in Singapore for more than 16 years. Singapore has its own rule just like Hongkong has its own. If you not living here, you won't understand. There are a lot of Durian lovers in Singapore and Malaysia that would be carrying their beloved durian..S.. to the public transports. If you never experienced the smell, you have no right to laugh at it -- it was so terrible that I think the government has not fine the offenders enough. Most of the times, I think Singaporeans are too competitive. But now I think, Hong Konger also has a lot to blame... and pls give me a break. You are visiting a culturally different nation.. just because you see a lot of Chinese, you assume they share the same culture. Honestly, this is a far cry from true.. Singaporean is much one of its kind.. the closest are the chinese in KL.. although they never admitted it... they are never similar to Hongkonges, nor Taiwanese or Chinese. It anything, could just say we all mistake them.. Honestly, they are one of their kinds..be it a compliment ( as west meets easts) or bad ( simply put, lost identity).. they are DIFFERENT...
坐巴士，見到禁携榴槤的告示，啼笑皆非!

這種告示在香港實在難以想像。

地鐡(MRT)上也有一樣的告示，我的新加坡朋友說：是因為外國人受不了榴槤的氣味，政府才明令禁止；以後買榴槤只得自己駕車，都是你們外國人害的！
巴士禁榴槤，這是拜新加坡巴士冷氣化所賜，在未全面冷氣化前，可以在非冷氣巴士帶榴槤上車。
這不是外國人的問題，而是在南洋諸國中，最受不起榴槤以及潔癖最嚴重便是新加坡。本來南洋華裔的潔癖都頗為聞名（例如例必洗澡兩次，早晚各一，小弟在香港長大亦如此），但新加坡就全島將這方面發揮得最勁。
李光耀的潔癖政策，不是他一個人，而是很有民意基礎。
买榴莲是小，留下榴莲气味是大，控制不住“气味”，只好做出牺牲。在新，买榴莲岂止不能乘巴士，地铁、德士都不能。
