Other than making parody songs, recording gameplay videos and generally ranting about inane everyday life, popular YouTube personality Toby Turner has turned his attention to pointing out the seven unbelievable ways to get arrested in Singapore. Some are undeniably true, while others are kinda off the mark.
The typical assumptions on Singapore's laws are made yet again, including the prohibition on chewing gum (nobody really cares if you're chewing gum), the illegality of being homosexual (no-one's arresting you for being gay. Male same-sex sexual activities are illegal, though not enforced), the very act of not flushing toilets (nobody gives a shit) and spitting (you'll probably just pay a fine if you do get caught by the authorities and it's pretty disgusting anyway so a very small minority actually does it in public).
While the unnecessarily heavy drug laws he mentions are true (the death penalty for anything drug-related), others are pretty meh. It's actually difficult to land yourself in jail here, unless you're a persistent asshole about it.
