Paranoia's your best friend

What's wrong with security in Singapore? Throughout my Made in Singapore photographic trip, I've been threatened by security at least 4 times. Worst of which happened at IRAS (Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore), where the security guard asked me to delete all my photographs. And today I was threatened to be taken to the police again when I was taking a few shots of the F1 pit building.

Can't they tell apart a photography enthusiast and a terrorist? I understand that terrorism is a concern but need they be so uptight about it such that if I'll to spend more than 5mins shooting, I'll be approached by some damn security. Must policemen always stop to see what I'm doing when I'm shooting with my Mega Huge L lens? Need I always have an official pass to capture a scene in your official building?

For god damn sake, these security retards don't know what's photography. Like as if they're good at capturing terrorists either. Some of them don't even look like they can fend off a robber. It's really a shame because Singapore really has some nice architecture and paranoia is stopping these beautifully crafted buildings to be captured and preserved. The IRAS building is one damn good example. Pity it has one of the tightest and most idiotic security I've ever experienced.

Oh wells...what can I do if I don't want to be taken to the police station in a police car? Just delete my photos according to instruction and curse. Fuck security.
