Being a Singaporean, I can simply tell you that its because some people are unable to NOT swallow gum but still tried it and got sent to hospital, and OTHERS who eat gum just cant resist spitting them out on the ground, proving a problematic matter for pedestrians who accidentally step on one and is troubled with cleaning it off.
In addition, people would stuff gum in between the doors of the train (MRT-Mass Rapid Transit), and it prevented the train system from running smoothly. Thus, it was ban 1992.
