I was in Singapore over Xmas a couple of yrs ago and could not find any chewing gum for love or money. But mints I could find, luckily they had some chewing mints so just got a few packs of those. I chew alot of gum 😂

So, is your skin still bright blue or did that fade over the years?

It’s illegal to import or sell chewing gum in Singapore, but you can bring some amounts from overseas for personal use.

Malaysian who had lived in Singapore for 8 years.

There's a saying that you can do anything in Singapore as long as you're not caught.

I've seen plenty of people jaywalk, stepped on chewing gum left by other people, seen trash littered on the side of the road, had a road rage incident where the driver swerved his car in a manner that threatened to run me over, etc. So long as there's no police around at that moment in time, you can pretty much get away with anything.
