This little sovereign state takes cleanliness very seriously, and if you do attempt to defile Singapore by carelessly throwing a soft drink can or a candy wrapper, you can be fined up to $2000 (Singapore dollars). It gets much worse if you don’t reform yourself the first time around: you can legally be charged a whopping $10,000 (Singapore dollars) on your third offense.
