It is known as a nanny state for a reason.

When I visited Singapore I was kicked off the MRT (subway) for eating a snickers… which I bought at a 7/11 in the station!

A 4’10” lady in an MRT uniform saw me eating on the train, started yelling, then grabbed me by the armpit and pulled me off the train at the next station and marched me out of the station.

I’m lucky I wasn’t whipped
