PETALING JAYA: A 46-year-old Malaysian woman was arrested on Monday for allegedly attempting to smuggle more than 2kg of drugs worth over S$142,000 (RM469,889) into Singapore.
The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) and Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) said ICA officers discovered two bundles concealed beneath the front fairing of the motorcycle ridden by the woman during an enhanced check at the Woodlands checkpoint.
“CNB was promptly alerted, and further checks uncovered a total of seven bundles from the same location,” they said in a joint statement today.
They said the bundles were later found to contain 1,057gm of cannabis and 973gm of methamphetamine.
The investigations are ongoing.
Those who import into or export from Singapore more than 250gm of methamphetamine or 500gm of cannabis may face the death penalty under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1973.
