It's okay to chew gum in Singapore. There is no punishment. Although there is a punishment for spitting gum on the floor. There is also a punishment for sticking your gum anywhere. You have to pay a fine. If you want to chew gum, spit it out into a piece of tissue and throw it into a rubbish bin. BTW: It's illegal to sell gum in Singapore.

Actually, in Singapore you can chew gum. You just cannot sell gum. That is because people spit gum on the floor, they stick their gum all over the place. So you can chew gum, just make sure you throw it into a trashcan.

Not in a public place. The selling of gum to children is treated like selling alcohol to kids here in the US,

It's not illegal to chew gum but it is illegal to bring it in through customs and buy or sell it. Gum was banned because people were sticking it everywhere (on trains/on lamps).
