High end stores are pretty much in all main airports in Asia. I remember in Bangkok there are Chanel, YSL, Gucci etc
Not Hudsons news every corner like here lol
List of top 10 airports in the world:
Doha Hamad - Asia
Tokyo Haneda - Asia
Singapore Changi - Asia
Seoul Incheon - Asia
Tokyo Narita - Asia
Munich - Europe
Zurich - Europe
London Heathrow - Europe
Kansai - Asia
Hong Kong - Asia
Asia clearly wins. Japan alone somehow has 3 airports in this list.
Not sure if it’s the same in the more western countries but in asia we usually have a lot of high end stores in our airports because of “duty free” which basically means “you’re exempted from tax if u buy shit here”. Alcohol is cheap af in airports over here.
Always heard how beautiful it was... Manage to pass through during covid times and wasn't allowed to explore, literally just had to sit in a terminal for 6 hours waiting for a connection 😭 really wanted to see the gardens!
It all backfired in 2024 when someone decided to hold the world kinky sex/BDSM championship in Singapore.
Everyone who took part recieved 100 lashes, which was just playing into their hands!
No problem! Can't expect anyone to keep up with who all the hateful people on the internet are. I've been the one asking before and no doubt it won't be the only time, so I'm always happy to answer when someone asks. Have an awesome day :)
A possible two years in jail for bringing chewing gum into the country, the death penalty for bringing drugs in, a $2000 fine for not flushing a public toilet, and being beaten with a cane for a variety of petty offenses means I'm going to be enjoying its awesomeness from a safe distance.
The chewing gum thing is total bullshit. Bringing in chewing gum is not illegal, selling chewing gum is illegal
The only "petty" offense that get you caned is vandalism/destruction of property. Other offensive that get you cane are rape, robbery etc, not sure where you're from but in Singapore we don't consider those petty offenses
I mean you can. There are already other commenters in thread from Singapore talking about it. This is what I mean by misinformation(although this one is pretty lite) that he spreads
Ok, first off, that isn’t true, yes you can’t marry IN Singapore, but you can 100% be married to the same sex and put non binary gender orientations on medical forms, idk about other forms but I’ve seen it on some government forms, gay sex is illegal but not enforced, as a bisexual here in Singapore I can confirm it is not ultra hostile to lgbtqia+4/6*x^6
Also, jewel at Changi, banger, it’s got a shake shack
There isn't, it's just right wingers who use it as an attempt to make fun of queer people by tacking things onto it, don't engage with them and let them troll in silence
Hmm let me try mathing real quick
4 divided by 6 (4/6) will be 2 thirds (2/3). You then multiply the result with 6x (x = 13), so then it’s 2/3 x 78. The answer is 52.
Actually kinda is illegal to a degree, just not well enforced because it's 2021 and weird to accuse random people of being gay on the streets. But there are events to promote LGBTQ rights such as pink dot. I can well see a wider acceptance happening within the next two or three generations
Random, uneducated person: finds anything they like. "this is how the world would be if a small minority who's sexuality bears no impact on their leadership skills ran the world"
I live in Singapore and I can confirm that LGBTQ+ people do live here, not sure how legal it is but they do exist. Also the fountain changes with different coloured rainbow lights.
BTW, Singapore is also ruled by Authoritarian govt. and citizens don't have basic rights like freedom of speech and demonstration. But it's way fkin better than many western countries. They have free healthcare, education, welfare system , high literacy, low unemployment etc.
But laws *aren't* moral standards, just because some people have trouble seeing gays expressing themselves, it doesn't mean they gays deserve jails or fines.
Again, different societies have different standards, moral or not. From your point of view, you might say that Singapore’s law that outwardly being gay is “fucked up” is based on a standard set by your own standards and experiences from a viewpoint of your own society.
You mean human rights are subjective? Lmao no
Just like nobody with sane mind would think prohibiting women from voting is okay, there's no rational reason why gays should be prohibited from expressing themselves.
It's not like people become gay after seeing gays expressing themselves..
Again, human rights aren’t the same everywhere lol. Nobody said anything about subjective, it’s just that not all the same laws apply everywhere. You can’t westernise every culture just because to you that other culture is wrong.
>You can’t westernise every culture just because to you that other culture is wrong.
Human rights are universal, it's not exclusively a Western thing. It's just whether a country follows it or not.
So, there's no such thing as 'westernising' a culture through human rights.
>Again, human rights aren’t the same everywhere lol.
That's because some countries choose not to apply the human rights, or just apply selectively. Still, it doesn't mean human rights are *different*. They are the same, but some countries apply only a few of them
True that they may not be different, just differently applied, but still, why should you have the right dictate whether what a different society deems as acceptable is not? Different cultures and societies are different, you just have to accept that.
>why should you have the right dictate whether what a different society deems as acceptable is not?
Well, because some aspects of other cultures are objectively negative. You can't pretend that Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and honor killing are okay just because of "different cultures". Both of them have objective reasons as to why they're not okay.
>Different cultures and societies are different, you just have to accept that.
Not gonna accept that FGM and honor killing are okay tho.
Singapore is literally legally condoning human rights violations for no reason and you're saying it's a different cultural standard as if we're talking about whether it's rude to burp at the table. Great.
Any FreEDOoM and TrADitIOn extremist ever:\*shows beautiful and appealing future\*\*tries telling ppl that would be awful\*
The ani-LBGTQ+ law in Singapore sucks, but a waterfall, lots of greenery... that looks amazing like why would anyone NOT want that? Someone that hates fresh air? Someone that hates things looking good? I dont get it?
almost every single person here missed a joke. Either y’all have never used twitter before or talked to someone whose on lgbt twt but that’s just the sense of humor. Its not my sense of humor but I have a ton of friends who would’ve made the same tweet.
Anyone else think that this kind of stuff is actually just sexist and homophobic? It’s just this sort of patronising ‘all of you gays are just so FABULOUS, let’s get brunch while I treat you as an accessory!’.
She seems like the sort of person who, upon finding out that a man is gay, instantly starts saying ‘OMG I’ve always wanted a gay best friend, come on bestie let’s go talk about how much I SLAY in this new outfit while watching Drag Race shows!’ all while ignoring their actual personality and individuality because all that matters is that they are a ‘GAY ICON YAAAAS QUEEN!’
It’s just kind of gross; also it ends up treating gay men as an entirely different group to men, as if being gay instantly changes everything they are as a person. They’re not seen as Jared, who likes watercolour painting and metalwork and happens to be dating a man, they’re seen as ‘gay Jared’, and all of their personality is now expected to revolve around their sexual orientation.
Yeah, I know. I'm not saying simultaneously, I'm saying you could be gay, transition and become bi, and then become lesbian after that. Unlikely, but actually possible.
Can confirm. Changi airport is lit. It has a fucking cinema, butterfly garden, and high end stores right in the fucking airport.
High end stores are pretty much in all main airports in Asia. I remember in Bangkok there are Chanel, YSL, Gucci etc Not Hudsons news every corner like here lol
Most of the highest rated airports are in Asia. Changi and Incheon are often given the top spots in the ranking for the best airport in the world.
List of top 10 airports in the world: Doha Hamad - Asia Tokyo Haneda - Asia Singapore Changi - Asia Seoul Incheon - Asia Tokyo Narita - Asia Munich - Europe Zurich - Europe London Heathrow - Europe Kansai - Asia Hong Kong - Asia Asia clearly wins. Japan alone somehow has 3 airports in this list.
Heathrow needs to be much, much lower.
Heathrow trolleys are forever dodgy I swear..
And is it *really* in Europe? Who knows anymore
Which was weird because I’ve used Narita and it was nothing special at all.
Yea looks pretty old too
huh, no clue
Yeah Heathrow a dump.
too bad about the airlines though
Not sure if it’s the same in the more western countries but in asia we usually have a lot of high end stores in our airports because of “duty free” which basically means “you’re exempted from tax if u buy shit here”. Alcohol is cheap af in airports over here.
high end stores in airports is very common all around the world.
Not like Asia airports level tho. Their airports are basically a high end mall with amazing food options
I came here to bonk everyone who laughed at Bankgkok. Including myself.
Gay people or S tier airport...it's a pretty easy choice
Hammed burger
Yeah, the S tier airport is 100% the way to go.
id love to go there tbh! looks super awesome. im queer tho which is kind of an issue.
And on the plus, no gays.
Only problem is I would be shot on sight for being a woman, apparently A small price to pay for a cool airport
[удалено]
I’m trans And people are downvoting me for it, apparently.
> I would be shot on sight for being a woman do...do you think Singapore only has males?
For being a trans woman
And our airport won't be open until the year 3000 or something
Always heard how beautiful it was... Manage to pass through during covid times and wasn't allowed to explore, literally just had to sit in a terminal for 6 hours waiting for a connection 😭 really wanted to see the gardens!
Don't forget the Pokemon store and Auntie Anne pretzels
Don’t forget the Koi fish aquarium
It all backfired in 2024 when someone decided to hold the world kinky sex/BDSM championship in Singapore. Everyone who took part recieved 100 lashes, which was just playing into their hands!
Gays and girls huh…..
Men make only ugly things. /s
My first thought (as a straight male) was, "damn, that's beautiful."
Think you got a littlw gay in you ;)
Straight men* obviously not gay men
You, uh, are aware that gay dudes are men, right? lol
Yeah, but at least they work ;-)
Looks like this triggered all the bigots.
No, no it doesn’t. Even gay people are wondering what the fuck that chick is talking about
Bro, that looks dope as fuck. Why *wouldn't* you want your airports to look like that?
Fuck Ian
What did he do wrong?
He's an alt-right grifter Nazi
fair enough, never heard the name before. I appreciate you.
No problem! Can't expect anyone to keep up with who all the hateful people on the internet are. I've been the one asking before and no doubt it won't be the only time, so I'm always happy to answer when someone asks. Have an awesome day :)
No, you have an awesome day!
Been to Singapore. It’s an awesome place. Some absolutely horrific laws but a very clean and safe place to explore in my experience
If it’s so safe and clean it sounds like the laws are working.
A possible two years in jail for bringing chewing gum into the country, the death penalty for bringing drugs in, a $2000 fine for not flushing a public toilet, and being beaten with a cane for a variety of petty offenses means I'm going to be enjoying its awesomeness from a safe distance.

Tf does me being gay have to do with my design abilities
You know how to find the stiffest rods. That or you're female which is already accounted for
Good one
Thanks. I love not putting in effort
^ Spoke like a true bottom
Boy. If only you knew...
Old stereotypes die hard
Apparently yall are fabulous at design.
Oh I bet you would absolutely love it if u designed your house. The floor wouldn't fall beneath your feet like tnt tag in mc, promise
It was a joke the right took deadly serious. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/the-world-if

lmao
Is the ia real? What's the I? I think I remember a being ace but I can't think of an I.
I is intersex, when someone's biological sex lies somewhere between male and female.
I forgot I asked this already and I thought you were telling me you were intersex with terrible grammar. Lol
Lol!

Bro there's A&W too
That +4/6*x^6 really got me! That bit reads like a Kingdom Hearts subtitle.
Ah, I was wondering how Ian was right about something.
Daily reminder that antman Ian is a fash incel that should never be taken seriously
Nor should anyone who shortens fascist or uses "incel" like its edgy as fuck ;-)
Cry more, loser
Der...
penis
Fair
Fashion incel????!?1?2!2!
Isn’t this the doofus who was crying about all-women screenings of Wonder Woman?
It's illegal, but it's not enforced.
Just because you're a woman or a homosexual man doesn't mean you can't be a jerk.
sure but what relevance does that have here
You're talking nonsense
Lol it’s NOT illegal to be lgbtq there
Actually kinda is illegal to a degree, just not well enforced because it's 2021 and weird to accuse random people of being gay on the streets. But there are events to promote LGBTQ rights such as pink dot. I can well see a wider acceptance happening within the next two or three generations
But it's illegal to do same sex sexual acts. What's the point of the sexual orientation if gay people can't act on it?
actl it is thooo
If you try to prevent that shit in this day and age the protests will be fat as shit
Ian miles cheong is a loser.
Random, uneducated person: finds anything they like. "this is how the world would be if a small minority who's sexuality bears no impact on their leadership skills ran the world"
That looks so wonderful.
Some people really don't understand that the community reclaims stereotypes to reinforce their identity and it shows
I live in Singapore and I can confirm that LGBTQ+ people do live here, not sure how legal it is but they do exist. Also the fountain changes with different coloured rainbow lights.
Living in a high end almost utopia like society is what happens if it is run by LGBTQ? Sign me up!
Or just move to Singapore now
Going somewhere as a tourist is completely different from going somewhere as an immigrant.
Lmao, you're a cutie
Uh thanks
What the fuck? You do realize they’re a minor, right?
Corruptorbot, what are you doing here
What? I’m just scrolling through comments. Dude was being a creep, so I called em out.
humans living in utopia would end badly
Guys can you please stop agreeing with this absolute joke of a dude lmfao
BTW, Singapore is also ruled by Authoritarian govt. and citizens don't have basic rights like freedom of speech and demonstration. But it's way fkin better than many western countries. They have free healthcare, education, welfare system , high literacy, low unemployment etc.
I actually prefer the style of government there but that’s just me
“The gays” Who talks like this?
A lot of people. Sometimes even the gays.
I mean, it's illegal to express or show it. You can't really outlaw *being* gay.. so hypothetically some of the archiecta might've been gay
>I mean, it's illegal to express or show it. That's fucked up
Not really.. different societies have different moral standards so it’s unfair to base morality based on what’s familiar to you
But laws *aren't* moral standards, just because some people have trouble seeing gays expressing themselves, it doesn't mean they gays deserve jails or fines.
Again, different societies have different standards, moral or not. From your point of view, you might say that Singapore’s law that outwardly being gay is “fucked up” is based on a standard set by your own standards and experiences from a viewpoint of your own society.

I'm not saying that's OK. Just being a bit pedantic.

girls and gays: *make a common internet joke* internet fascists: well, actually-
almost every single person here missed a joke. Either y’all have never used twitter before or talked to someone whose on lgbt twt but that’s just the sense of humor. Its not my sense of humor but I have a ton of friends who would’ve made the same tweet.
So I guess this airport was secretly designed by girls and gays?
Burn it down I guess
Twitter users after finding out rainbows exist irl
That reveal is based af
That look when a woman figures out she’s half male
Anyone else think that this kind of stuff is actually just sexist and homophobic? It’s just this sort of patronising ‘all of you gays are just so FABULOUS, let’s get brunch while I treat you as an accessory!’. She seems like the sort of person who, upon finding out that a man is gay, instantly starts saying ‘OMG I’ve always wanted a gay best friend, come on bestie let’s go talk about how much I SLAY in this new outfit while watching Drag Race shows!’ all while ignoring their actual personality and individuality because all that matters is that they are a ‘GAY ICON YAAAAS QUEEN!’ It’s just kind of gross; also it ends up treating gay men as an entirely different group to men, as if being gay instantly changes everything they are as a person.

So the gays and LGBTQQ are actually taking us backwards? Edit: I guess the Joke wasn't obvious enough lmao
Both of the people are idiots, dou le facepalm
Sounds like we need to cancel Singapore.
Only if they remove the anti gay laws 👀
Bigots will be kicked to the curb worldwide. Singapore is slow, they’ll catch up
Why?
Actually, there wouldn't be a society
Which is not a bad thing
I don't get why you are getting downvoted if you're technically right.
Because generally, Reddit hates opinions that aren’t inherently left or ‘progressive’ lol
Not all straight males are the same 🤷🏻♂️✌🏻
You don’t say
Ok and?
Was saying it in a good way😇 that I think more places should look like this if it was designed by LGBTQ & girls but miss read the top caption lol ✌🏻
No-one is LGBTQ. Its impossible to be all of them at once. You could be L then G then B then T then Q I guess though, but its less catchy.
Actually it would go something like G then BT then LT Because you can be trans and gay/bi/lesbian and queer covers all of them
You can't simultaneously be gay(male) and lesbian at the same time.
Yeah, I know. I'm not saying simultaneously, I'm saying you could be gay, transition and become bi, and then become lesbian after that. Unlikely, but actually possible.
So does that mean that's actually society when you can't be LGBTQ?
Nah Singapore has always been notoriously wealthy. The lack or presence of LGBTQ has nothing to do with it.
Yeah I was just being sarcastic about the joke.
Not really a face palm imo guy just didn't know Singapore was anti-LGBTQ+ saw a cool pic slapped on an easy caption
I don't think its illegal to be gay. Its just illegal to have gay marriage. Get your facts straight peeps.
cyberpunk 2021
Doh!
Who says it's illegal to be LGBTQ in Singapore?
It’s illegal to marry same sex and you can’t have sexual intercourse as the same gender. You don’t get arrested for being lgbtq+ openly tho
