A 34-year-old Malaysian man suspected of trafficking drugs was arrested in Singapore after more than 5kg of drugs with a value estimated at S$305,000 (RM1.02 million) was found in a car he was driving.

The republic’s Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) said the man was arrested in the vicinity of Chin Swee Road in an operation last night.

“A search of the car the man was driving saw the recovery of about 264g of ‘Ice’, 1.88kg of heroin, and 3.14kg of cannabis.

“The drugs seized in this operation can feed the addiction of about 1,500 abusers for a week,” CNB said in a statement today.

Investigations into the drug-related activities of the arrested suspect are ongoing.

Under Singapore’s law, those found guilty of trafficking more than 15g of pure heroin (diamorphine), 250g of methamphetamine, or 500g of cannabis, may face the mandatory death penalty.
