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

    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.

    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...

    Bieber followed the advice of his manager and sold off his music catalogue for 220 beeg smackers. Addled but not totally.

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

    I´m only a visitor to NZD, unfortunately! Not far away from Twizel my wify and I found a nice spot to stay for the night. We went there a several times over the years. Last time we found exactly the same rubbish as shown in the picture.
    We bought some bags in a local store, collected the rubbish and brought it to the local DOC office. They asked us where the shite is from and after we explained where we picked it up they said, they are not responsible.
    In the end we dropped it at the police station. DOC is obviously not interested in invironmental issues.
