Do's and Don'ts in Singapore


There are several do's and don'ts that a visitor should remember while in Singapore.

Do’s in Singapore

  • Handshaking is a warm way of greeting others regardless of racial background.

  • Once invited to a home remove your shoes and also while entering a temple or a mosque.

  • Leave a little on the plate when you have finished eating as it might be interpreted, as you are still hungry.

  • Those on business trip should be punctual for the appointments.

  • Exchange of cards is quite common and while giving hold it with both hands.

  • It is considered proper to address by using Mr., Mrs. or Miss and not first names.

Don’ts in Singapore

  • Laws relating to littering are strictly enforced in urban areas so don't litter while in Singapore.

  • Other don'ts in Singapore include no smoking in public areas including restaurants also for dropping a cigarette end in the street would lead to fine of S$ 50.

  • Chewing gum in Singapore may get you arrested. For drug trafficking there is death penalty and harsh penalties for those possessing and using within the country.

  • Don't touch opposite sex as it may not be received in a good light. On the other hand don't point with your finger this is considered rude and you may use entire hand with the palm to draw attention.

    Who didn't dream to study away from home, from parents and relatives?! I am one of them, but times are changing. Nowadays we have another type of education very useful for those who don't enough time to go to classes and study among others students: online education. So the best solution for me and my brother weremasters degree in healthcare administration online.
