Bring along these items:
  1. At least 500ml of drinking water
  2. A book to read
  3. Tablet
  4. An umbrella (in case it rains or simply to avoid the sun)
  5. A fully charged smartphone
  6. A fully charged mobile device battery
  7. A towel
  8. Some snacks
  9. Tiger Balm (just in case)
Start queuing with an empty bladder (and possibly go with budd(ies) in case you need to visit the loo).

Take care.

    Just found an alternative "A Survival Guide to Mourning Lee Kuan Yew".

    In summary:
    1. Read the news before you leave the house.
    2. Speak to the police officers stationed along the queue to find out where you should go to join the queue.
    3. Dress respectfully.
    4. Essentials you might want to bring: Water, Umbrella, Raincoat, Paper or portable fan, Wet tissues, Pens, Ipad / book / extra phone batteries
    5. DON'T try to cut the queue.
