4. Tricking someone to think that he would be cursed or make divine beings unhappy if he did not obey you could earn you a year behind bars.

Under Section 508 of the Penal Code, it is illegal to cause or attempt to cause any person to do anything that he is not legally bound to do, or to not do anything which he is legally bound to do, by inducing that person to believe he or someone close to him will become “an object of divine displeasure” if he does not listen to you.

This law has been in place since Singapore’s first Penal Code, which started in 1872.
