What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in Orchard Road?

"Orchard Road in Singapore is a cosmopolitan area, but it's important to respect local customs and traditions. Avoid littering as Singapore is known for its strict cleanliness laws and heavy fines. Chewing gum is also banned in Singapore, so refrain from doing so. When using public transportation or escalators, always stand on the left and walk on the right. In terms of dining etiquette, never stick your chopsticks upright in a bowl of rice as it's considered bad luck. Also, if you're invited to someone's home, always remove your shoes before entering. Public displays of affection are generally frowned upon in Singapore, so it's best to avoid excessive touching or hugging in public. It's also important to dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites. Lastly, Singapore is a multicultural city with a diverse range of religions and beliefs. Always show respect for these differences and avoid making insensitive comments or jokes about race, religion, or nationality," wrote a member who made the move to Orchard Road, Singapore.
