On the location of the bookstores (and place to find Chinese opera) in the Bras Basah Complex (no it doesn't men Brassieres Bazaar...I think it has something to do with 'rice market")

Thanks for the link, RedApe... I am well aware of the benefits of chewing-gum - there are other articles about this on the Internet, including on Wikipedia.
Of course the "oral dental" thing is ridiculous, and would imply that virtually any chewing-gum IS allowed into Singapore! I was thinking of printing that page and taking it with me to Singapore... But there's obviously some language barrier involved here... And if the people who wrote the law (oral dental... motor spirits...) are so confused, who can tell about the people who are there to enforce it???...
I'm still hoping to find "oral dental" chewing-gum in Singapore pharmacies...
What if I enter S'pore with a parang in my bag ? Its not on the list of prohibited articles !

43: Yep, nothing will happen. Please do it. :)
If you are bringing one or two packs of gums, the customs are unlikely to give you any trouble. If questioned, just feign ignorance and let them confiscate the gums.
It might be interesting to note that one of the favourite sourvenirs Singaporeans like to buy from overseas (esp those who drove to Malaysia) are chewing gums.
sololo are you so sure !
On my part I did it ! But it was confiscated by the customs officer at the border. I bought it in Malaysia seeing it was like useful for camping. It is sold free in the local Malay shops but S'pore officers said NO ! They confiscated it even when I told them that I am only transiting and have a further on ticket out of the country for the same day.
