Is it against the law to whistle ? Just never heard any locals whistling a happy tune as they go about their daily chores !
As opposed to, of course, pulling up a really big, honkin' lugey and spitting it into the gutter.sevestert wrote:Obviously there isnt such a law. Its just not a habit for most Singaporeans thats all. And in Asian societies, its considered rude to sing or whistle while working because you will disturb people around you.
Or playing music on your iPhone/iPod so loud everyone in the office can hear your music word for word.Strong Eagle wrote:As opposed to, of course, pulling up a really big, honkin' lugey and spitting it into the gutter.sevestert wrote:Obviously there isnt such a law.

Too true. Reminds me of the time I took some guests to the Flyer. We had to queue at the washbasins whilst two blokes dredged phlegm from the depths, blasted it out of their nostrils into the sinks and walked off. Really pleasant ! No wonder they still have TB here.Strong Eagle wrote:As opposed to, of course, pulling up a really big, honkin' lugey and spitting it into the gutter.sevestert wrote:Obviously there isnt such a law.
