A nice list you have compiled there. Actually #3, #6 and #9 are quite similar in one point - you can have it, but the government is gonna make it difficult for you to be able to utilize it. Just think a little further, and you'll realize it applies to some other areas as well, such as freedom of speech, CPF, houses etc.

Yah,
And we speak English where the Englishmen dun understand a single word we sprout!
Auto Air-con is always set at 16 degree celsius.
Glass breaker in public buses are secured with cable tie.
Major road signs in expressway only tell you the final destination but not the next exit (try driving from Mandai road to Hume Ave via BKE and KJE)
We build stainless steel railings with support that is too high for sitting and too short for leaning at bus interchanges.
We charge up to $0.20 for stinko toilets. Toilet papers charged separately at $0.30.
We also build gantry for toilets. No coins cannot enter. Dun care if you shit in your pants (Use Cash card or ezlink next time lar!)
You pay $4.00 for a noodle soup but $4.20 for the same takeaway or $4.00 without soup when takeaway. (Maybe you can drink up the soup before leaving)
Coffee comes with milk. Tea comes with milk. SOP. Dun argue, even if the rest of the world serves coffee without milk unless requested for.
Majority of the nation avoid eye contact during conversation.
Majority of the people are right-handed, but are asked to stand on the left on escalators.

Indeed. It is natural for right-handed people to stand on the right side. -
