It isn't illegal to chew gum, but it is illegal to bring them into Singapore or sell them except for medical purposes. Since you can't buy gum (selling is illegal) there's no way to chew them so it's almost as good as not being able to chew gum. See this: http://www.customs.gov.sg/leftNa...
Definition: In Vitro. A study done in vitro, in contrast, looks at how a drug or procedure responds in the confines of a test tube or laboratory dish. Clinical trials or medical studies may be performed either in vivo or in vitro.
Another method for in vitro clonal amplification is bridge PCR, in which fragments are amplified upon primers attached to a solid surface and form  DNA colonies  or DNA clusters. This method is used in the Illumina Genome Analyzer sequencers.
