You need a permit for most purposes in Singapore.  Singapore has 'import'
restrictions instead of the old US-style 'export' restrictions.

It'll get you shot in Myanmar (Burma).  They shut us down for having
Internet .. lucky we weren't using encryption as well :-)

You're just not taking a holistic enough approach :-)
