Singapore

oh dear, you have been terribly mis informed

you can bring in chewing gum into singapore
you can chew gum in singapore
but the catch is
you cannot buy or sell chewing gum in singapore

you can buy chewing gum in pharmacies
if
you're trying to kick your smoking habit
those nicotine gums are part of the FTA we signed with the US coupla years back

Just don't stick the gum you're chewing on a seat in public transport.

There was never a law against chewing (used as a verb here) gum in Singapore, but it was law that chewing gum could not be manufactured in Singapore, imported into Singapore, or sold in Singapore.

I understand that the law was changed a few years ago, and gum is available in pharmacies.

swallow it.

chewing gum makes you look like a cow chewing her cud.

give it up.

This is a real sticky matter, proceed with caution.

heh heh heh. good one

and to add

you can give chewing gum
and you can receive chewing gum

you can chew gum in public
however
you should not chew gum on the trains
there are plenty of cameras and SMRT staff walking around
ever ready with the "Fine for eating on the trains" summons

I know a guy who can hook you up with some prime quality Trident over on Joo Chait Road.

Is that anywhere near the Ah Chew Hotel on Liang Seah Street?
