Why is gum not allowed in Singapore?
The chewing gum ban in Singapore was enacted in 1992 and revised in 2004. It bans the import and sale of chewing gum in Singapore. Since 2004, chewing gum of therapeutic value has been allowed into Singapore following the United States-Singapore Free Trade Agreement (USS-FTA). Chewing gum was causing serious maintenance problems in high-rise public housing flats, with vandals disposing of spent gum in mailboxes, inside keyholes and even on elevator buttons. Chewing gum left on floors, stairways and pavements in public areas increased the cost of cleaning and damaged cleaning equipment. Gum stuck on the seats of public buses also constantly vexed passengers. However, Lee thought that a ban would be "too drastic" and did not take action. In 1987, the S$5 billion metro system, the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT), began operations. It was then the largest public project ever implemented in Singapore, and expectations were high. One of the champions of the project, Ong Teng Cheong, who later became the first democratically-elected President, declared," the MRT will usher in a new phase in Singapore's development and bring about a better life for all of us." It was then reported that vandals had begun sticking chewing gum on the door sensors of MRT trains, preventing the door from functioning properly and causing disruption of train services. Such incidents were rare but costly and culprits were difficult to apprehend. In January 1992, Goh Chok Tong, who had just taken over as Prime Minister, decided on a ban. The restriction on the distribution of chewing gum was enacted in Singapore Statute Chapter 57, the Control of Manufacture Act, which also governs the restriction of alcohol and tobacco. After the ban was announced, the import of chewing gum was immediately halted. However, a reasonable transition period was given to allow shops to clear their existing stocks. After that, the sale of chewing gum was completely terminated.
Why does Singapore need to desalinate water?
Water may seem plentiful and the supply endless whenever you turn on the tap but this is not so. There is a need to save every precious drop of water now, because:
Water is a scarce and precious resource in Singapore.
Singapore's water resources are very limited. Already 50 percent of our land is used for water catchment.
In 1950, when Singapore's population was 1 million, our daily consumption averaged 142,000 cubic metres. In 2005, with a population of about 4.4 million, our consumption rose to 1,296,000 cubic metres. This means that while the population grew by 4.4 times, water consumption increased 9.1 times!
Though we have our 4 National Taps, namely water from local catchment, imported water from Johor, NEWater and desalinated water, we need to curb demand by encouraging everyone to conserve water and take ownership of water. Only then will our water supply be sustainable for generations to come.
Conserving and valuing our scarce water resources become everyone's responsibility, young or old. So the next time you take a shower, water your plants, wash your dishes or flush the toilet, think of ways to reduce as much wastage as you can.
