Two men, a Malaysian and a Singaporean, were arrested on Sep 23, the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) and Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) said on Monday (Sep 28).

The 32-year-old Malaysian man was arrested for attempting to smuggle drugs, including heroin, Ice and cannabis in a Malaysia-registered motorcycle at Tuas Checkpoint.

The motorcycle was referred for enhanced checks by ICA officers, where they uncovered sealed packets labelled as commercial biscuits, suspected to contain controlled drugs, in the rear box of the motorcycle.

A total of about 790g of heroin, 602g of cannabis, 127g of Ice, 51g of Ecstasy tablets and 21g of ketamine were seized from the man and the unit. Cash amounting to S$33,086 was also seized.

The drugs seized in the motorcycle at Tuas Checkpoint and at the Tampines unit have an estimated worth of more than S$1 million, ICA and CNB said.

The heroin, Ice and cannabis seized could potentially feed the addiction of about 4,598 abusers for a week, the authorities added.

Investigations are ongoing.

Under Section 7 of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1973, those who import into or export from Singapore more than 15g of diamorphine or “pure heroin”, or more than 250g of methamphetamine, or more than 500g of cannabis may face the death penalty.

Under Section 5 of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1973, it is also an offence to traffic in a controlled drug or offer to traffic in a controlled drug. Anyone found guilty of trafficking more than 15g of diamorphine or “pure heroin”, or more than 500g of cannabis, may face the mandatory death penalty.

“ICA will continue to work with CNB to prevent attempts to smuggle drugs across our borders. ICA will also continue to conduct security checks at the checkpoints to prevent attempts to smuggle undesirable persons, weapons, explosives and other contrabands across our borders,” the authorities said.

“CNB will follow up with swift inland enforcement actions to disrupt drug-related activities by taking action against drug offenders and traffickers in accordance with the law.”

新加坡：大士关卡查获一起疑似毒品走私案，缴获价值超过100万新元（78.2万美元）的毒品。

移民与关卡局（ICA）和中央肃毒局（CNB）周一（9月28日）表示，两名男子，一名马来西亚人和一名新加坡人，于9月23日被捕。

这名32岁的马来西亚男子因试图在马来西亚注册的摩托车上走私毒品（包括海洛因、冰毒和大麻）而在图阿斯关卡被捕。

移民与关卡局官员将这辆摩托车送去进行更严格的检查，并在摩托车的后备箱里发现了标有“商业饼干”字样的密封包装，怀疑里面装有管制药物。

警方从该男子及其住所缴获了约790克海洛因、602克大麻、127克冰毒、51克摇头丸和21克氯胺酮，以及33086新元现金。

移民与关卡局和中央肃毒局表示，在Tuas关卡摩托车上和淡滨尼单位缴获的毒品估计价值超过100万新元。

当局补充说，缴获的海洛因、冰毒和大麻可能足以满足约 4598 名吸毒者一周的毒瘾。

调查仍在进行中。

根据 1973 年《滥用毒品法》第 7 条，凡向新加坡进口或出口超过 15 克二乙酰吗啡（纯海洛因）、超过 250 克甲基苯丙胺或超过 500 克大麻者，均可被判处死刑。

根据1973年《滥用药物法》第5条，贩运或意图贩运管制药物也属违法行为。任何被判贩运超过15克二乙酰吗啡（纯海洛因）或超过500克大麻的人，都可能面临强制性死刑。

当局表示：“移民与关卡局将继续与中央肃毒局合作，防止毒品走私入境。移民与关卡局也将继续在边境检查站进行安全检查，防止不受欢迎的人员、武器、爆炸物和其他违禁品走私入境。”

“中央肃毒局将迅速采取国内执法行动，依法对毒品犯罪分子和贩运者采取行动，以打击涉毒活动。”
