In Singapore they Cane you if you vandalize someone else's property. They understand how important property rights are. There isn't much vandalism or graffiti in Singapore.

It's illegal to chew gum in public there, too.
How do you know this was not one of the Republican dirty tricks the Republican gov and his staff were considering to discredit the protestors?
WALKER: I mean, I think it's interesting because the prankster there tried to insinuate at least that this person was going to push for people to come in and cause a disturbance amongst the protesters. I made it very clear that's not right. That's not -- that doesn't work. That adds no value.
VAN SUSTEREN: Well, you said you'd thought about it.
WALKER: Well, he did.
VAN SUSTEREN: But you thought about it.
WALKER: We do. We had people contact -- I'd had people -- I even had lawmakers and others suggesting riling things up.
Wrong again as usual. I've been there many times. It's never been illegal to chew gum.
For a long time they didn't import gum, because they were worried about people sticking it under park benches or bus seats (Singapore is the cleanest city in the world). But the WTO took care of that.
That's why you GOPigs are so easy to manipulate. You don't pay attention.

Singapore is preparing to partially lift its famous ban on chewing gum - in order to comply with a free trade agreement with the United States. But only gum aimed at helping smokers to quit will be allowed when the new rules come into effect on Thursday.
The gum became a sticking point in the trade talks when Philip Crane, a US congressman from Illinois, called for Singapore to lift the ban on all gum. Mr Crane represents Chicago, the home of chewing gum giant Wrigley.
But Singapore has not removed its strict ban completely, agreeing only to allow sales of "therapeutic" gum in pharmacies, and only to those with a prescription.
Pfizer, the company that makes the Nicorette, plans to send senior executives to Singapore to officially launch the gum.
Singapore's ban on chewing gum has often been cited by critics as an example of the city-state's overly strict laws.
The penalty for smuggling gum into the country is one year in jail, and a 10,000 Singapore dollar ($5,500) fine.
