Answers
The correct answer is (B)- Chewing gum.
There is a law in Singapore that bans chewing gum.This has been passed long back in 1992, however, in cases of therapeutic purposes or dental/ nicotine ones , there is an exception since 2004.
This was done to prevent problems such as chewing gum litter in public places and common areas which in turn required a huge sum to clean them up.
It was also done to prevent the disruption of Mass Rapid Transit( MRT) as there were instances of people sticking the spent chewing gums onto the doors of the trains creating a problem in their functioning.
The answer is (b) Chewing gum. Since 1992, in Singapore, chewing gum was a strict ban in Singapore.
Since 2004, an exception has been implemented like therapeutic, dental, or nicotine chewing gums allowed under moderation.
However, these products are to be bought from a doctor or from a pharmacist.
Tourists in Singapore are allowed to bring 2 packs of chewing gum for personal use.
