Singapore Unique Signage?

They said good template can stand the test of time. This sign template unique to Singapore has been around as long as I can remember.


They are four languages imprinted in red wording on white background. This design has been around as long as I can remember.

Maybe Switzerland has similar signage in German, French and Italian.

One of the signs I remember well is the 'no trespassing' sign, which shows a man pointing gun at the trespasser. (Will try to take picture if I spot one.) Does the property owner has the right to shoot at trespasser?

actually this sign is used at construction sites to tell people to keep out as it will be dangerous. I hardly see any no trespassing sign in SG except military area.

In Malaysia the common sign I see is AWAS.

actually i admire SG in that they keep 4 languages in sign boards and announcements most of the time.. unlike malaysia, you will hardly see chinese and not to mention tamil..

That is one of the reason why such sign template is relevant till today in Singapore.

Not all of us can read all four languages but it is for conveniences for the four different races in Singapore. Majority can understand 2 languages at least tho. :)
