Fines are commonly used as deterrence to enforce rules and legislations in Singapore. A monetary punishment for breaking a law or a rule, fines can be issued to anyone including legal entities.
Some examples of fines in Singapore that contributed to our reputation as a “Fine City” includes, being fined for bringing a fruit (durian) on public transport, smoking out of destinated areas, having mosquito breeding on your property and being spotted naked at home.
Fines can only be issued by ministries, statutory boards, and the courts (state organs). With all these fines issued by the various authorities, some of us may be wondering, who and where do all the money collected go to.
