Mga Pinay Nahuli sa Singapore; Hinahawakan ang mga High Voltage Christmas Decor

Dalawang Pinay - isang manunulat at isang HR Consultant - ay nahuli ng mga autoridad ng Singapore na nag-pa-pa-picture habang hinahawakan ang mga Christmas decor na minarkahang High Voltage! Do not touch! Pinagbabawalan sa Singapore ang paghawak ng mga Christmas decor sa mga mall at mga main road sa Central Business District, lalo na sa Orchard Road. Ang dalawang Pinay (na itatago natin sa pangalang Melisse at Carly) ay kasalukuyang nakakulong at i-ke-cane bukas sa harap ng mga Christmas shopper sa Takashimaya Mall (kung saan naganap ang kanilang first offense) para matuto lahat ng mga makukulit na bisiting Pilipino na sundin ang mga batas ng island nation ng Singapore. Nahuli rin ang dalawang Pinay na ginagalaw ang mga Christmas decor na naka-display sa Esplanade Mall, Great World City at Raffles City.


Ok, I just made that up =) But I do want to know why almost every single Christmas tree here in Singapore is marked HIGH VOLTAGE and/or DO NOT TOUCH. Seriously. Have you ever seen a high voltage Christmas tree?


UPDATE: In the lobby of the hotel I stayed in on Thursday night, there was a cute little gingerbread house. No, it didn't have a HIGH VOLTAGE sign on it. But it did say LIVE WIRES! DO NOT TOUCH! I want to know if Singaporeans are inclined to stealing Christmas decorations, and if threatening to jail or cane them is suddenly not enough. Better to just electrocute them for misbehaving, I guess. Amazing!
