Have a question for anyone who may know the laws/rules, etc about DVD's from Malaysia and gum. Went to JB with a friend over the weekend to do some shopping and eat some food and like in times past, I bought a few packs of gum to bring back with me. I went through the xray scanner and the official asked me to look inside my bag where he proceeded to take out the few packs of gum that I bought. He then said that it's illegal in Singapore where I was left dumbfounded as I explained that you can buy the gum in either Watsons or Guardian so why is it illegal to bring it in myself? He went on to say that you need a prescription from a doctor to chew gum here? Never heard of such a thing. Anyone care to comment on this? So they took the gum, filled out some form (probably blacklisting me) and sent me on my way. Ok I thought, no big deal.
They also took out and looked at the three DVD's that I bought but said nothing of these. Now aren't these DVD's illegal in Singapore since they haven't been through the Board of Censors? Or are you allowed to bring in a certain amount before they say something? Guess it also depends on the person working that day. Anyone else have similar stories? Thanks.
