Description:
The chewing gum ban in Singapore was implemented in 1992 as a response to the increasing problem of gum litter. Prior to the ban, chewing gum was becoming a significant nuisance in the city, with people discarding used gum on public transport, sidewalks, and even on elevator buttons. This resulted in expensive and time-consuming clean-up efforts by the government.
The ban was also driven by concerns over the potential damage chewing gum can cause to public infrastructure. Instances of gum being maliciously stuck on the doors of public buses and MRT trains were not uncommon, causing disruptions to the daily commute of thousands of Singaporeans. The government decided that a total ban on chewing gum was necessary to maintain the cleanliness and functionality of public spaces.
