This sign isn’t found in Singapore. I assure you my fellow esteemed engrishmen, there is no Naughty Palace in Paragon Shopping Centre. Neither is it found in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. [Drumroll] Naughty Palace is found in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. My proof is here: http://www.lonelyplanet.com/travelblogs/207/2047/Phnom+Penh+with+children+%E2%80%93+Part+5?destId=355852

Paragon Mall is in Bangkok, not Malaysia or Singapore. What’s with the haters here, huh? Chill out people, things here are supposed to be funny, but you guys are making a mess with your hate comments.

That sign is not found in Paragon Singapore. Singaporean signs are generally (though not always) spelt out in good english. The Brits did rule us for 150 years.

The artillery is not for playing. It is for shooting down the UFOs and airplanes that do not obey the naughty palace’s safe navigation, and do attempt to touch down.

If you google Paragon Shopping Centre & Kuala Lumpur you get a map from http://www.streetdirectory.com that shows a mall called Paragon Point Shopping Centre southeast of KL, located at Jalan Bunga Tanjung.

My brother, Lance Thomas, found this very same sign in Phnom Penh Cambodia. Also, there is a Paragon mall in Bangkok. I think they distribute copies of the sign to various malls all over SE Asia.
