They also jail people for chewing a gum, your argument is invalid.

That’s not the death penalty and they didn’t make an argument. They were stating a fact.

That was half-joke, half-reminder of how fucked up the country is. But whatever.

IMO as an outsider Singapore is less fucked up than America. It’s got some rough edges for sure though lol.

Not sure where you got this from, but this isn’t true. Chewing gum is NOT illegal in Singapore; you can keep them for your own consumption. You just cannot sell chewing gum in Singapore.
