Is it legal to have a possession of pornography vcd / dvd in singapore?

Question

What are the consequences? What is the legal age to watch if it is legal? Watch via internet legal?

Answer 1

No way, like most of asia countries they don't allow all these.

Answer 2

I just checked. Viewing on internet but not saving sounds as if legal.

Possessing is a different matter. See below.

Singapore is not a place to mess with the authorities. It is such a great safe place to visit because the authorities take no nonsense, have strict laws with heavy penalties and enforce them without fear or favour.  An Australian Journalist has just been arrested on drug possession charges and could face 5 to 20 years.

Wouldn't it be better just to enjoy Singapore and keep your mind as clean as that country is?
