I believe there are more, but those are the ones my Singaporean friend told me.

Geez, imagine you're chewing gums while smoking while dancing in front of a mall... that's $7000 fine :?

I had a teacher who spent some time teaching in singapore and according to him there is no fine for chewing gum. I guess it might be like some of the dumbass laws we have over here. There use to be a total ban on selling chewing gum but they have since started allowing the sale of gum as long as it's for medicinal reasons. Like gums that are sold in the pharmacy ailes overe here are allowed.

I like that one. It should be enforced

I heard that if you eat chewing gum in singapore you will get lashed...
