Gender Norms Etiquette in Singapore

Singapore is generally pragmatic and gender-equal in public life, so travelers should expect women and men to dress, work, and move around with similar freedom, and it is normal to address people by their professional role rather than by gendered assumptions. At the same time, older Chinese, Malay, and Indian family traditions can still be more conservative in private settings, so avoid making jokes or comments that assume casual dating, public affection, or household roles are the same in every family.
