The list is long.

In addition to the moderately enforced laws, you’ll find lots of… shall we say, suggestions.

Don’t enter or you may be shot. Don’t swim here or the polluted water will eat your skin away. Don’t feed the monkeys or they’ll rip your face off.

Okay, two of those were (mostly) fake.

Today we saw a funny suggestion at the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. A sign at the top of a not-so-steep hill cautioned visitors not to run.

Umm… okay.

We decided the person who posted the sign must’ve imagined Singaporeans running, slipping and rolling all the way to the bottom. Knocking over people along the way. A trail of bodies strewn everywhere. Bloody noses, bruised limbs, stubbed toes, torn hangnails.

Maybe not the exact image, but that’s how we imagined and laughed about it.

Oh. And, yes, I ran down. Just because they told me not to!

Almost bit it.
