Malaysians nabbed for Smuggling

July 25, 2015 by adminficci News 0 comments

At least three Malaysians were picked up for trying to smuggle drugs, tobacco and cigarettes via the Causeway into Singapore. Aged 20, 29 and 40, they were detained separately at the Woodlands checkpoint in the past few days. The latest case happened on Wednesday when Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) officers detained the 20-year-old who had 0.9kg of cannabis on him. The ICA in a statement said the officers suspected something amiss when they noticed a bulge around the man’s waist. It turned out to be cannabis wrapped in newspaper and plastic. The drugs, which have a street value of S$29,000 (RM81,000), can feed the addiction of about 128 users for a week.
