Ok, don't be scared. I also read this was a Strict Law Country, and is good, but not so strict.

They are quite serious with the civic behaviour (jaywalking, littering, ... fines are more usual than in any european country, but don't expect a policeman or camera every 5 metres)

Drug very strict, specially upon arrival. Even bringing cigarettes can be a problem if you don't declare them. Also smoking now is banned in public closed places.

Careful about politics comments. Public meetings/rallies must be approved by government.

Sex: Porn is illegal. Also as someone told you, homosexual behaviour is illegal too here, but I think nobody cares too much about this.

Chewing the gum is not illegal.
Selling it and leaving chewed gum around is.

sexual relations between people of the same gender

This doesn't stop those that have this preference.

Wonder if "outrage of modesty" or "outrage of decency" might apply here, especially with the "or more" part.

... Porn is illegal.

Is this for real ?? Or is this a joke ??
What is the punishment for possesion of such material ??

I think I may have to format my laptop before I come out.

yep, it is for real.

I heard if you took "recreational" drugs overseas and you came back to Singapore, if they test you, and you show up positive you get done, or is this another urban myth?

Oral sex is illegal, apparently its OK if its used as foreplay but just a BJ or munching at the Y on its own with no intention of a follow through you get done.

Unless you are a cunning linguist it better lead to procreation or else it's considered and abomination and ye will be damned by the gahmen's agents or otherwise known as the constabulary aka The Cops!

This was true until recently, but Section 377 (for heteros) was repealed in 2007. 377A for homos, though, remains in force.

And as for chewing gum, the Regulation of Imports and Exports (Chewing Gum) Regulations make it illegal to "bring or cause [chewing gum] to be brought into Singapore by land, water or air from any place which is outside Singapore". Chapter and verse:

http://www.customs.gov.sg/NR/rdonlyres/ ... 102/32.pdf

Fine for first offense: up to $100,000

The only exceptions are medicinal gums, ie. stuff containing xylitol (good for your teeth) or nicotine (bad for you but beats smoking), which are only available in pharmacies if you show ID.
