A little Nibblet

This is a quick update after watching the news. Regular post is below this.

Congratulations to all Singaporeans. I am pleased to inform you that you are living in a country with one of the lowest crime rates in the world.

In keeping with this, the Police in Singapore has apparently decided to undergo a job restructuring exercise within the Force. They can't retrench the excess numbers, because that might encourage more people to take up crime.

Since now there are too few thieves, drug smugglers, rapists, murderers etc. for them to prosecute, the Police now has to concentrate on catching the lesser-known criminals that are nonetheless, a threat to the civilised society we all know and love.

Plain-clothes policemen will now patrol and stake out several areas of Singapore in order to catch litterbugs in the act. Yes, litterbugs.

Why? Because Singapore has always been a clean and green city and we intend to keep it that way.

Anyone caught in the act will be fined $200 on the spot, for chucking your cigarette butt on the floor and not picking it up later. However, the Police are not completely heartless creatures. They will also give you a free tin box to commemorate the occasion and remind you not to litter in the future.

Beware residents of Toa Payoh, People's Park and Holland Village. The next time you throw that empty mineral bottle on the grass, the police are watching you.

Don't you just love staying in such a clean country? How Uniquely Singapore...
