Drugs were in two bundles under the seat of the man's motorcycle.
SINGAPORE: About 1kg of heroin estimated to be worth about S$106,000 (almost RM330,000) was seized by Singapore authorities today from a 25-year-old Malaysian man at the Woodlands Checkpoint.
At about 6.30am Wednesday, Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) officers directed an arriving Malaysia-registered motorcycle, ridden by the lone male Malaysian, for further checks.
While conducting the inspection, the officers from the ICA and Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) detected two bundles, suspected to contain controlled drugs, under the seat of the motorcycle.
The man was placed under arrest and the case was handed over to CNB for further investigations.
The two bundles were later found to contain about 1kg of heroin.
“Investigations are ongoing,” said ICA and CNB in a joint statement here.
The statement said the Misuse of Drugs Act provides for the death penalty if the amount of diamorphine (or pure heroin) trafficked exceeds 15g.
