In a historic blow to regional diplomacy, a 40-year-old Singaporean has become the first pioneer to be charged for attempting to terraform Johor with cigarette butts.

The man is set to perform 12 hours of community service, finally fulfilling the local dream of working in Malaysia for a significantly lower currency rate.

Local authorities confirmed that "Act 672" was specifically updated to remind tourists that Johor is not, in fact, a sovereign extension of a green rubbish bin.

"Wah lau, I thought JB was a giant dustbin only?" complained one frequent visitor.

"Now cannot simply throw, then I go there for what? Sian logic, everything also must follow rule ah."

The offender now faces the grueling task of clearing cobwebs, a skill most Sinkies reserve for their unused gym memberships.
