You are 100% right, I was amazed how much mess there was, including broken
bottles on a Sunday morning.  Maybe the police have the night off as well.
Orchard Road was exceptionally busy Saturday evening, didn't seem anywhere
near as congested weekdays.

Not only in Singapore, but the urban systems in Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok
were also remarkably clean.
Vandalism seemed almost non-existent, the question is whether their harsh
punishment deters vandals or do their societies have a more positive
attitude to life, rather than enjoy being being mindless morons?  It's
obvious that whatever our legal system does in an attempt to rehabilitate
wrongdoers, it doesn't achieve very much except to result in a very
satisfactory outcome for the legal profession.
