I am stating that CAN confiscate them. This isn't like the entry onto a plane were all liquids over a particular size are considered contraband.
Note: in Singapore you cannot bring in chewing gum, even cigarette cessation program gum. They look for chewing gum as part of their contraband search in customs. This is in the early 90s and the ban on chewing gum is still in effect today.
