as the holiday season approaching, our customs are really on the ball.
stupid me, yesterday bought a box of chewing gum, i usually eat them to keep myself awake while driving or at work. during the inspection, i was caught for 'smuggling' a box of chewing gum... i don't even hide in, just chunk at the rear seat... brought into the room, give them my passport.. written my detail on their 'destroy' log book. wish to check.. will it leave any bad mark? i check with the officer, he told me nothing much.. just a formality to write down with the consent of destroying the gum... is that true...  -------------------- Refer to signature guidelines

Your only hope is to chew gum all the time, otherwisw got no frens, GF run away & apply job also kenna rejected. If he dont believe, u ask him if he want to smell your breath? Anyway the writing of your particulars in the book is nothing lah. If they key into computer then maybe they wil keep a record. I tot chewing gum is allowed for personal use now. As long as u dont put up for sale. I buy gum all the time from JB. So far never kenna. I dont think its an offence. Just the selling of gum is not allowed here. But now gum for medical use is being allowed. |

If you've ever harbored thoughts of running in the oppo, abandon them now. Because they'll dredge this up again and come after you (like CSJ's postage stamps business).
Other than that, you have very little to worry about. This post has been edited by Turboflat4: Feb 7 2010, 10:45 PM |

QUOTE I buy gum all the time from JB. So far never kenna. I dont think its an offence. Just the selling of gum is not allowed here. But now gum for medical use is being allowed. you are one powerful ranger. but gum are good for health, serious ================= Gum is NOT illegal. Just cannot sell in SG. VCD always bring in fishing VCDs. So far never kenna even I just leave on the front seat. If kenna ask to send for censorship, I just tell them to confiscate lor. Most important is dont hide. Just put where they can see when they check. Most times they also heck care unless u get some @sshole who want to catch every little thing. Then it wil just reflect badly on the ICA officer lah. Long ago my fren had Maggi chicken cubes. Got 1 idiot say chicken got bird flu so cannot bring in from MY. I tell him this is processed chicken products lah. Not fresh chicken. In the end also allowed to bring in. I think sometimes they also not sure what can & what cannot. |
