Hey guys,
I'm heading to Singapore in 2 weeks time. Do any of you guys know if they're strict about photography on the MRT there? I'd like to get some shots but don't want to be locked up in Changi jail. Where are the better places to get shots there.
Any advice you guys can offer is greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

I never had a problem with taking photos when I lived there. There are open sections where photos are obviously easier as the tunnel stations have PSDs. You should make the effort to visit Changi anyway. It's well worth the visit. There is a very moving memorial exhibition there to the thousands who were imprisoned during the war. |

Ooh, I love Singapore! Photography is usually permitted AFAIK (keep a lookout to avoid a potential heavy fine), but eating, drinking, spitting, smoking, littering etc are not permitted, and carry heavy fines. The elevated sections often have good views. Ticketing is completely contactless. The buses are also very good. The airport at Changi is very modern and efficient, and is served by the MRT. If you intend to make much use of the excellent public transport, consider buying an EZ-Link card at only SGD 15. All buses and the whole MRT/LRT accept this wonder of a card.

I know a website that had photos of every MRT station had to remove all of the photos, so I would be very careful taking photos given Singapore's draconian laws and fines.

True. Still, try to be discreet and have at least SGD 1500 ready for any emergency. English is widely spoken and understood, although Mandarin is catching on with the younger Chinese.
EDIT: If you want, I can recommend food dishes to try in Singapore. The food at the food centres are often good and some are very good. The food centres are also cheap and very diverse in their cuisines. Most common are Chinese, Malay, Indian and Western.
