I refer to the article about chewing gum and the costs involved in removing this from our streets (‘Gum busting costs €25,000 every year’, The Sunday Times of Malta, January 24).

I am sure the authorities are aware how other countries dealt with this problem. In Singapore, for example, it is forbidden to import chewing gum. Now that is a good step in combatting the problem.
