Singapore Check In Counter and Aviation Rule

One thing I really hate about Singapore check in counter, I wonder who passed this stupid aviation rules, which does not allowed liquid or gel that is more than 100ml to be hand carry to the cabin. The first time I flew to Singapore, I have to dumped my unopened mineral water, due to it is over 100ml (half a glass of water), the bottle is transparent and I really don't see it will post any harm if I bring that to the plane. If the crew can offer me plenty of water, why the hell do I bother to carry such heavy bottle together with me? Isn't that stupid?! So far Singapore is the only airport that you will have some issue if you bring water to the plane. Those people in check in counter also very rigid minded, they will make sure you throw away the bottle before you proceed, I told them in their face that I hate Singapore Airport!
This time, I tried not to bring body shower gel and shampoo with me, since I know that I will have to deal with these stupid rule again when I get into Singapore airport. I brought my hair gel which is going to finish soon, I think I still can use it for 2-3 weeks. And I am very sure it is LESS THAN 100ml.
This time, they make me throw my Loreal hair gel away, the reason? They said because the container is bigger than 100ml, I gave her a "WTF?!-Look". Then later on I also heard a 50 yrs old complained that her cream or something was forced to throw away even though it is almost finish. I think this aviation rule is really stupid, I wonder does it apply to other country, or just that Singapore is more strict on it... really stupid?! Like I am going to make a bomb with my hair gel! What the hell la!? These people really drives me crazy!
