Bloody disgusting.

I recon a boot in the nuts for every item of rubbish left lying around would be a good deterrant

Do it again and you get the same each month for a year

Justice in that part of Asia seems harsh to some and it doesn't totally prevent crimes but crime isn't exactly out of control either.

Had a Chinese hunter earlier this season who told me he knew a guy who was convicted of rape in China.
"Knew" was the key word.

Certain sectors of society think the world owes them everything, and that they can treat it however they like.

Two nights later and the culprit was filmed in the act. Info passed to council and police followed by Mr Shithead getting a 400 $ fine

Well there we have it! Brilliant few more cameras dob the buggers in! Word gets around! Farmers here in the uk tracked down a notorious fly tipper. Went and filled up his front yard with what he had tipped. Sure there’s a film on the internet about it.

Here it is. I’m not on facebook but you can still see it.

I'm in Singapore now, and can say that there is litter, but hardly any. People jaywalk, but not as a rule. Shops have stuff displayed where you could just take something, but it hardly happens. Food on trains? Nope. Smoking where you shouldn't? S$1000 fine. The murder rate here is 0.2 per 100,000 people or 7 per year. They must be doing something right...

The Russians are an inventive lot. A trick their armed services use is to beat the hands [palms] and soles of feet so badly a person cannot walk or touch anything. They are immobilised on their backside which after a while drives excuriating pain up through their spine. Makes canning look soft.

I have a friend in the UK whose sister lives in Singapore and loves it because it is so safe she is into running and runs often at night after work simply because its so safe, something age wouldn't do in her birth city of Liverpool or where we grew up in pretty safe Kent

Speaking of Singapore, it’s a lovely place to visit, clean, safe but there culture is very different to ours but obviously works.

I still remember the case of that young American who got caught graffitting in Singapore and got lashes for his efforts.

I have no idea why a foreign visitor to Singapore would assume they could graffiti any old structure with impunity. Maybe they should have done some prior checking of Singapore laws before hopping on the plane.
However, there are good laws in place to help well behaved visitors and tourists. Consumer goods pricing is largely unrelated but expected to be at least sensible and fair for tourists. Inevitably though some tourists are taken advantage of by less than scrupulous traders who overcharge and takd advantage. If a tourist suspects they were a victim there is a dedicated service that handles tourist complaints and goes for redress.
A friends wife bought a fancy handbag ans was a bit shocked soon after to see exactly the same bag selling elsewhere considerably cheaper. My friend, to keep wifey happy, lodged a complaint. Less than 24 hours later he had the difference refunded. Result, very happy wifey.
Singapore doesn't want unhappy tourists.

Yes, well, there is no litter in Singapore, probably due to the $1,000 fine imposed.

For an "influencer" the fine is prolly cheap - for the resultant international publicity. The pursuit of fame and fortune, via the "Socials" is the new Heroin.

After all that's the method Jake Paul used to increase his nascent fame, posting footage of a dead body in Japan's suicide forest LINK . Execrable but now he's a fizzy millionaire, whoopee , fame and fecklessness, just what every one needs.

At least Justin Bieber, (now an addled write off) had the presence of mind to say, after writing off Ferraris etc, "You give $20 million to a 17 yr old, what did you think was going to happen?"

What do they say about Gen Z ? Gen slackers.

Millenials ? Avocado botherers...

An example of some of NZ finest outdoors folks. But broken glass FFS???
