Singapore actually has housing pretty much nailed down. If Singapore had US-style housing policies 95% of Singaporeans would live in Malaysia and commute because only bank execs etc. could afford living in the city.

...also Singapore would have zero green space left. It'd all be single family homes interspersed by parking lots. You can't spit out a chewing gum over there without hitting a public park.

You can't chew gum in Singapore at all, maybe this is why

There's exceptions for therapeutic uses (dental, nicotine gum) and you can also import small amounts for personal use. Chewing is perfectly legal, improper disposal isn't.
