Why is chewing gum banned in singapore?

In 1992, Chewing gum was banned in Singapore due to various reasons.

Firstly, it was commonly discarded incorrectly, resulting in unhygienic, difficult-to-clean regions and bug breeding grounds.

Second, It has the ability to harm public property, such as elevator buttons and subway doors, as well as to obstruct keyholes and mail slots.

Third, chewing gum can be noisy and disturbing to others, especially when it is popped or blown bubbles.

Fourth, its perceived choking threat, distraction, and potential danger to children led to its being banned in schools and workplaces.
