They say that Singapore is a fine city due to all of the fines that you could pay for breaking the various rules and laws. I now present to you for your viewing pleasure a collection of Singapore's "no" signs. In some cases, disobeying the signs may result in fines. In others, you may just find yourself in an awkward situation.
Can you guess what these signs mean and where they are found?

Are you ready to live in a country with this many "no" signs?
No, I am not ready to live there. However, having visited there and seeing the signs certainly makes one think about what you can and can't do. It raises your awareness. Nice collection of signs.
