Haha, apparently, there is no direct law against cursing, but they can still throw these at you:
Disorderly behavior: Under the Miscellaneous Offences (Public Order and Nuisance) Act, using abusive or insulting language in public can be considered disorderly behavior. This offense carries a maximum penalty of 6 months imprisonment, a fine of up to S$2,000, or both. The key factors here are the volume, tone, and target of the language. Shouting profanities at someone in a way that creates a disturbance could fall under this category.
Abusing a public servant: The Protection from Harassment Act protects public servants from verbal abuse, including threats and insults. Using abusive language towards a police officer, teacher, or other public service worker while they’re performing their duties is an offense with a maximum penalty of 12 months imprisonment, a fine of up to S$5,000, or both.
The above comment also is in SGD, not much solace.
