Pirates of the Caribbean

Could anyone please explain 'Clearly you've never been to Singapore'?! I love the film loads but never really got that!!

Clearly you've never been to Singapore.

"Mullroy: Not breathing. Jack Sparrow: Move. [Jack slits the ties on Elizabeth's corset and rips it off, causing Elizabeth to regain consciousness, and spit out a lot of water] Mullroy: Never would have though of that. Jack Sparrow: Clearly you've never been to Singapore." I think the inference is that in Singapore nobody would think twice about ripping open a woman's bodice!

Little bit of trivia for you - apparently Singapore didn't exist when the film is set!

i always thought it was because they had corsets in singapoire.
