I was going to suggest something similar to the first part of your comment, but felt it might have been a little too risquesundaymorningstaple wrote:The gahment don't like it when people spend their money on leisure activities that theyt cannot tax the f**k out of to make up for the low income taxes here.
Hmm, does there come a point where the authorities realise that their (occasionally) archaic rules end up, net-net, making Singapore appear a, erm, a rather archaic place? Like their earlier ban on the internet (except embassies and bank trading floors).sundaymorningstaple wrote:Satellite dishes. yep, except for the embassies and Caldecott Hill and the Gahment.
You are not the only one with those thoughts.

I mean what's the point of banning sat-TV, when the content is so simple to get via alternative means? I ask as I have an impression it clashes with the image SG seeks to project to the world.

Hence why it is allowed to hang your laundry on broom stickssundaymorningstaple wrote:Frankly, it does make sense. At least from a aesthetic point of view. little satellite dishes on top of buildings sticking out of windows, etc. are, to me just as hideous as the galah poles used for laundry but the laundry poles are a necessary evil. Add to them, dishes, myriad wires hanging willy-nilly, yeah, I can see reasoning today. The fact that most stuff can be accessed online anyway wouldn't eliminate the eyesore of all those dishes IF it were allowed.
