Oral Sex is Illegal in Singapore Unless it Leads to Intercourse.

We all love hearing about weird laws around the world and the Singapore legal system is just bursting with them.  I reckon it’s almost impossible to enforce a law like this one but who knows,..maybe they just burst in to your bedroom and wait around, just to make sure! Though saying that, that might be considered pornography, which is illegal too.

What the Fact?

Singapore Laws

Yep, Singapore has one of the most novel legal systems you’re ever likely to come across.  Not because of the number odd laws it has but because they are actively enforced (where possible).

Singapore rather proudly calls itself a ‘fine city‘ (pun intended I think). This is because many laws are punishable by means of a fine; but don’t think you can get away with just that for anything serious. Though there are lots of crimes that will get you slapped with a fine, like not not flushing the toilet after you’ve used it, other offences are punishable by caning, jail, humiliating labour or death! One of the most controversial of these is that homosexuality can land you in jail for up to 2 years!

Weird Laws in Singapore

Luckily, most of these aren’t quite as sinister as the anti-homosexuality law. Here’s a list of some of the things that can land you in trouble in this ‘fine city’.

• It is against the law and a public caning offense to not flush the toilet after using it. Special police randomly check on public restrooms.
• A person convicted of littering three times, will have to clean the streets on Sundays wearing a sign saying “I am a litter lout.”
• Relieving yourself in an elevator is particularly forbidden. (Who pisses in a lift?)
• No hugging without permission, you can be charged for outraging modesty.
• No mooning pranks so don’t drop down your pants.
• No expletives especially at women. Its called insulting modesty.
• No mention of the word ’bomb’. Whether in humor or anything. The bomb squad will be all over you.
• No poking adverse comments at religion. You can be cited for sedition.
• No firecrackers.
• Only local cigarettes allowed. Yo’ll get charged twice for this. Once for illegal smuggling with your sentence furthered for evading sales tax.
• Smoking is banned in all public places.
• You cannot sell chewing gum anywhere unless it is for therapeutic purposes (nicotine gum).
• Don’t introduce any stranger as your good friend and speak well of him. Its called abetment if he happens to be crook.
• No illegal gatherings after 10pm. It will be considered as an illegal gathering if it consist of more than 2 people.
