Why is chewing gum banned in Singapore?

A Singaporean was on holiday in Malaysia ..He was having his coffee,croissant, bread, butter & jam at the hotel's coffee house.A Malaysian man who was chewing gum, sat down next to him & started acasual conversation.

Malaysian : "You Singaporeans eat the whole bread?"
Singaporean : "Of course."

Malaysian : "We don't. In Malaysia , we only eat what's inside.The crustswe collect in a container, recycle it, transform them into croissants & sellthem across to Singapore ."

The Malaysian then had a smirk on his face while the Singaporean listenedin silence.

Malaysian : "Do you eat the jam with the bread?"
Singaporean : "Of course."
Malaysian (chuckling): "We don't. In Malaysia , we eat fresh fruit forbreakfast, then we put all the peels, seeds & other left-overs in acontainer, recycle them, transform them into jam, before we sell it across to Singapore ."

This time, the Singaporean retorted : "Do you have sex in Malaysia ?"
Malaysian : "Why, of course we do!"
Singaporean : "Do you wear protection"Malaysian : "Of course! We wear condoms."
Singaporean : "And what do you do with the condoms once you've used them?"
Malaysian : "Stupid question ! Of course we throw them away!."
Singaporean : "We don't. In Singapore , the government secretly puts themin a container, recycle them, melt them down into chewing gum & sell themacross to Malaysia ,... & that's the real reason why we banned chewing gumin Singapore ."
