What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in Bukit Timah?

"In Bukit Timah, it's important to avoid littering as Singapore has strict laws against it. Also, refrain from chewing gum as it's banned in the country. Avoid discussing sensitive topics such as politics and religion, as Singapore is a multicultural society with diverse beliefs. Do not point with your foot or touch someone's head, as these are considered disrespectful in Asian cultures. When visiting religious sites, dress modestly and follow the rules of the site. Always use your right hand for giving and receiving, especially food and money, as the left hand is considered unclean. Avoid public displays of affection as they are generally frowned upon. Lastly, always wait for locals to initiate a handshake, as some may prefer not to have physical contact," wrote a member who made the move to Bukit Timah, Singapore.
