Malaysian man arrested in Singapore drug bust
The 37-year-old was nabbed at Tuas Checkpoint after officers found suspicious packets labelled as biscuits in the rear box of his motorcycle.
On September 23, a Malaysian man was apprehended at Singapore's Tuas Checkpoint while allegedly attempting to smuggle drugs. Approximately 6.96 kilograms of heroin, 1.1 kilograms of methamphetamine, and 1.03 kilograms of cannabis were seized from his motorcycle, which was registered in Malaysia. The Malaysian individual was found with sealed packets labeled as biscuits, suspected to contain drugs in the rear box of his vehicle.
Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) officers were immediately alerted following the initial discovery, leading to further checks that uncovered more sealed packets.
A separate operation conducted in Tampines Street 83 resulted in the arrest of a 41-year-old Singaporean man for suspected drug offenses. During this operation, authorities recovered 790 grams of heroin, 602 grams of cannabis, 127 grams of methamphetamine, 51 grams of ecstasy tablets, and 21 grams of ketamine, along with S$33,086 in cash. The case is currently under investigation under Sections 5 and 7 of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1973, which allows for the death penalty.
