bought a desk box of gum in Bintan, but didn'tdare to bring it at the office...
Anyway custom didn't ask me any question, so i didn't say anything about it.
But i guess no been caught with gum doesn't mean it's ok to bring some in the country. I'm more curious of the feedback of people caught with gum at the airport rather than the lucky few.

Didn't we just have this discussion?

Summary: In legal theory, it's illegal to import or possess any quantity of chewing gum in Singapore. Period. In practice, of course, nobody really cares, unless you start approaching retail quantities.

I bet your dentist sees more gums in a day than you . . . but I have never heard of dentists selling gums . . .sabs wrote:i saw gums at my last dentist visit. They sell them.
I brought a lot of gums (over 20 pieces) from my homecountry for my friend hehehehe...

Well, when they charge you for soft tissue reconstruction, they are essentially selling gums...Quasimodo wrote:I bet your dentist sees more gums in a day than you . . . but I have never heard of dentists selling gums . . .sabs wrote:i saw gums at my last dentist visit. They sell them.

Essentially eh? Well yes, you have a point, of course. I do, however, wonder why sabs would buy over 20 gums 'for a friend'. Is this a new fetish I have yet to hear about?road.not.taken wrote:Well, when they charge you for soft tissue reconstruction, they are essentially selling gums...Quasimodo wrote:I bet your dentist sees more gums in a day than you . . . but I have never heard of dentists selling gums . . .sabs wrote:i saw gums at my last dentist visit.

Of course we all know about removing dentures for, ahem, certain adventures, but gums?
Kinky. Very kinky

There's no gum like wrigleys, these dental knockoffs are the ones that should be banned in my opinion !ksl wrote:we bring in 20 or so bags of airwaves, without any problems, you can also purchase chewing gum from dentist outlets, I think its the teeth friendly type with Xylitol in it, not sugar. Probably will cost an arm and a leg
