BACK TO SINGAPORE...

A couple of thoughts on inconsistencies in Singapore that came to me over the weekend...

Sitting in the back of car without your seat belt on is illegal, but having 15 Malaysians/Indonesians in the back of your pick-up truck while you weave your way down a 4 lane highway at 80 km/h is OK?

Oral sex between consenting adults in the privacy of their own home is illegal "unless it leads to penetrative sex", but prostitution is OK? (and no Mrs Chariot, I didn't check this personally.)

I should have asked Lee Kwan Yew about these during our "gala" dinner, though I suspect that might have led to an abrupt cessation of paycheques...
