Cleanest City in the World
Singapore is famous for being the cleanest city in the world. There are many posters in buildings and parks telling people what they should and shouldn't do. Those who don't obey the rules will be fined or arrested.
Singapore is so strict that gum is a banned substance. In fact, those caught with it can be fined close to two hundred Dollars. Spitting, littering and jay-walking can also land you in big trouble.
Chewing gum is not forbidden in Singapore but bringing gum into the country in large amounts is illegal. Those caught selling it can be sent to jail. So many people like Martin, who lives on the east side of the island, just decide not to chew gum---period.
