Will I be fined for carrying fruits in public in Singapore?

The use of the word “accidentally” ]which is always a fun word for lawyers. It’s possible, if the amount were great enough and the company decided to sue you over it, that if the situation were truly an accident, and not a negligent or reckless act, that a court would find no liability, this is because tort law is predicated on intent, generally speaking. Even negligence requires more than a mere “accident” — it requires a duty, a breach of that duty, and damages.

Hi. Certainly you or any foreigner can own a business in Singapore without necessarily relocating. However, I believe there are two options you will need to take into consideration. You will need to appoint a contact in Singapore who is well trusted by you or in the absence of that, retain a resident nominee director service so as to fulfil the Singapore companies’ statutory requirement of a resident director. Best of luck!

You sound like an educated woman so I am baffled that you are in the position you are in. First of all I don’t want to speak badly of your relationship but I think it’s rather odd that you are dating a man many years younger than you and one you are probably taking care of. Frankly I will caution strongly against buying a property for your boyfriend but if you must buy one to justify ‘’sharing something together’’, then let the documents be in your name. Anything short of that sister and you will be in for a real shocker in future.

It is a good thing to stroll around with your family on malls. You are having your bonding that you have wanted for a long time. But there are times that we can occur an accident. Like breaking a figurine or damaging a painting. The mall usually has policies that covers the damages that have occured. Usually in the department stores, there are signages like "if you break it, you pay for it".

Singapore is a beautiful place and offers a very stable and friendly environment for foreign entrepreneurs and employees alike. Its stable economy and high regulatory standards have encouraged massive influx of capital and investments. Immigrants are coming to Singapore primarily for economic reason and they find that they have much to gain by setting up a presence in Singapore as they appreciate the high levels of fairness and transparency present at workplaces and in social circles. A good number of immigrants have successfully set up businesses and firms as a result of their entrepreneurial spark and drive to succeed which may be hard to find in locals.

Since the store is not giving any refund although it was their fault, you can report it to the local trading standards department because it was part of a statutory right of a customer. You can send them an email and notify the shop about what you are about to do. That way, maybe they will do something about your ordered products.
