S'porean man, 24, trafficked Kpods & illicit drugs, gets 2 years' jail & 2 strokes of cane
He is the first to be convicted and sentenced for Kpod trafficking under the Misuse of Drugs Act.
A 24-year-old man from South Korea was found guilty of trafficking Kpods and illicit drugs, receiving a two-year jail sentence and two strokes of the cane. Basil Wang Zhuang Zhen was caught at the Woodlands Checkpoint with a vaporiser, leading to further investigation by Health Sciences Authority (HSA) officers. Evidence of drug sales on his phone led to his arrest, where they found codeine phosphate, diazepam, Kpods, and cough syrup in his home.
Wang admitted to possessing these products for sale. He had purchased Kpods on multiple occasions via Telegram and sold them to customers on a cash-on-delivery basis. He was apprehended on December 3, 2025, after attempting to deliver Kpods to a customer in Malaysia. Wang received the mandatory minimum sentence for this offence.
