Not so ElM. It's illegal to sell chewing gum. People are allowed to possess and use chewing gum. They don't get caned.

You are perhaps confusing chewing gum with spitting it on the footpath, which would annoy them quite a lot. I expect one would get caned for that. I agree that caning would be a reasonable idea for that. But I'd prefer to simply fine them say $200 or maybe $1000. I saw a broken bottle on Sentosa Island yesterday. I think that should attract a $10,000 fine [deliberate breaking of bottle on public property where bare feet could be cut - if they picked up all the glass, that would be mitigating and reduce the fine to $1000].

It's very nice here for people in bare feet, which is the natural state of humans. It's a very weird thing to see people wearing shoes everywhere. They are not real people. They don't feel the world and tread lightly, they trample it.
