RE: Chewing gum
BTW, there is the law, and there is reality.
Chewing gum is not a crime in Singapore (just as illegal parking is not a crime in the USA), and neither is possession of gum for personal use.
You cannot bring in large quantities of gum to Singapore (it would be assumed you were selling it, which is a crime).
You cannot spit your gum out on the street or stick it under the seat on the bus (this is common sense, people).
In any case, IN PRACTICE, you don’t go to jail for any offense related to gum (unless you kill someone with it). Generally, there is just a fine.
Oh, get a life. Most of my posts were just jokes. As far as I’m concerned, anyone who wants to move to Singapore can happily do it. I hope they keep all their money away from the greedy bastards in Washington and live long and happy lives.
