Singapore prohibits two porn websites in emblematic move Local media identified the two sites as YouPorn and RedTube
May 23, 2008 - Singapore has prohibited access to two pornographic websites in a "symbolic statement" of the country's societal values, its media regulator said on Friday.
"It should be noted that the hardcore pornographic videos posted on these sites are very easily accessible by the young as each video will start streaming for free once a user clicks on the related link," said Jason Hoong, an official from the Media Development Authority (MDA).
The sites, which were banned after the authorities received feedback from the public, are the latest additions to a list of 100 "mass impact objectionable" pornographic websites banned in Singapore.
Singapore, which forbids the possession, distribution and making of pornographic films, maintains this move as necessary to protect the country?s young.
Online responses to a local media report on the ban have been unfavorable, with users condemning it as unnecessarily moralistic.
"I will definitely surf the Internet by proxy from now on, to be defiant so as to preserve my rights," wrote one user.

Now I remember why I didn't want to go to Singapore...that and I didn't want to get caned either. Not a big fan of state sanctioned ass kicking and pornlessness. To each their own though.

Well i was just recently in Singapore and had no problem reaching any type of porn site.
This is similar to Thailand that blocks many websites. First time i was in Thailand they had YouTube blocked.

The other odd thing about Singapore is that chewing gum is illegal.
They say there is no negative issue surrounding the ban of gum and that no black market for gum has emerged. Partly as a result of this, Singapore is the cleanest place you will ever see.

Did find some Ladyboys there in the designated Red Light district.
This red light district is essentailly one large building full of bars.

There was two tgirl bars in the complex so we went and checked them out. Some very beautiful ladyboys in these bars. I didn't get any pictures inside them but here is a couple from outside.
