Don’t Be Disrespectful

If you haven’t come upon this realization on your own, being respectful is high on the ‘TO DO LIST’ in Singapore. The people take pride in treating others with dignity and consideration, so the least you can do while being the stranger in their hometown is to offer them the same reverence.

Don’t Pat Someone On The Head

It is considered highly offensive to pat someone on the head, like you would a child. It may not seem like a big deal to a foreigner, but to Singaporeans, this is quite an insult, so be sure to think twice before attempting to put your hand on someone’s head. We’re almost certain you wouldn’t like it either, especially if you don’t know the person that well.
