For better or ill, I sat on a stump, And was stuck by a lump, Of gum on my rump...And am sitting there still.
Pop goes the Bubble Gum!
For 12 years, the selling, importing, manufacturing and chewing of gum was illegal in Singapore. The ban was lifted in 2004 - - but the chewy stuff can only be bought at pharmacies. Customers must give their names and show an identity card before receiving their gum. Pharmacists who donât follow these rules can be jailed for up to two years and fined $4,700!
In some parts of the world, especially the South China Seas, piracy still exists today.
Why?
The common misconception among citizens is that personal use quantities of chewing gum are allowed into Singapore. However, according to the set of Regulations, "importing" means to "bring or cause to be brought into Singapore by land, water or air from any place which is outside Singapore ..." any goods, even if they are not for purposes of trade. The set of Regulations also does not make any provisions for personal use quantities to be brought into Singapore. Therefore, bringing chewing gum into Singapore, even small quantities for whatever purpose, is technically prohibited.
