Is it actually possible to survive on the dog food served at the hawker stalls?
Is Singapore's income tax is as low as it is promoted to be after taking into account GST, Service Charge and CPF?
Is the HDB Program really a scheme to provide Affordable Housing to Singaporeans?
Is Singapore land really that scarce to justify the high housing price or more like controlled supply of land?
Is it true that in Singapore you can witness a variety of hybrid offsprings?

You can bring in sufficient chewing gum 'for personal use'. I.e. it is not banned, at least, it certainly isn't via Changi.Sergei82 wrote:They don't give shit about chewing gum at customs, even though it is banned.
You can even bring in prescription medications, they don't care (unless you're bringing a full bag of it), though it is at your own risk.
They only care about cigarettes, alcohol, cocaine, heroin etc.
Of course you can bring in prescription medications. But if it's off at the fringe (of potential abuse) I imagine they have a right to see a copy of the prescription. (I.e. I don't think I'd want to roll up at Changi with a 500 pack of Valium or what ever, without the prescription/copy...)

What do you use for hay-fever? I seem to get it pretty badly here. I've been through Cetirizine, and Xyzal.PrimroseHill wrote:My daughter does that, each time we are coming back from UK or Msia, she rolls up at Changi with a year's supply of gum.
Me - it is hayfever tablets and tons of paracetamol
More broadly Loratidine [Clarinase] as a decongestment, and Acetylcysteine [Fluimucil] to try and unblock most respiratory channels.
It's odd, as back home I might only reach for any of the above (Clarinase?) a week a year. Here, any day it hasn't rained and I seem to need it.
