Singapore and Ironworks have something in common. What is it?

I'll give you some hints. It has to do with what you can or cannot do in public to keep the "harmony".

from what I read.

Arrrrggghhhhh Sorry Yorick but the firt Asian Ironworks meeting has been missed. I'm now back in Sydney. To much quality time being dragged around spent shopping in Chinatown, little India and Orchard road to find an internet cafe and check my pm box. Hardly got a chance to sight see, my wife was in shopping heaven From the address you sent we would not have been far away too. Our hotel was just outside Farrer park MRT station. Oh well whatever nevermind [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img]

Loved Singapore though, what a place! Wonderfull multiculturism at its best.

The chewing of gum in Singapore is not banned(at least, within the confines of your home). What is banned is the commercial sale of chewing gum in Singapore.

Additionally, under the Singapore/USA FTA, the USA is allowed to export medicinal chewing gum to Singapore for sale in Singapore's medical industry(i.e. pharmacies).

Ergo, if Singaporeans want candy gum, they go to neighbour Malaysia for their fix. :p There is of course, a restriction on how much chewing gum they can bring into Singapore from overseas. A maximum of two boxes if memory serves me well(one box equals twenty packs equals a hundred sticks).

Gosh, the last time I ever felt so restricted was back in my school days 15 years ago... ~~
Life is not that bad.

You know, my birthplace is in Penang. Nibong Tebal to be exact. Chances are, I will be going back to Penang for our annual family meet.

There is a big difference in the two you compare, however.

On Ironworks, the rule is in place to prevent one from getting onesself or causing another member to get kicked out of our virtual country for becoming too upset during a debate gone sour, thus losing virutal resource (the member).

In Singapore, it is to protect the citizens of that country from consuming western culture, and losing thier own. Something I hear is of big importance in certain lands.
