In Singapore, lasers which have an output of greater than 5mW are illegal
The government of Singapore is carefully protecting its citizens from these dangerous lasers.
HOWEVER . . . . .
Apparently lasers which have an output of greater than 5mW are really only dangerous for poor people :thinking:
It seems that high output lasers can be owned in Singapore *IF*:
1) You pay a $40 import license per shipment
2) You pay an ANNUAL fee of $155 to keep or possess said lasers
3) You pay an ANNUAL fee of $105 to "use" the lasers
It was unclear to me if the annual fees were "in toto" or per laser
You've just got to love the way governments work :tinfoil:
Peace,
dave
