40 YEARS OLD M’SIA MAN TRIES TO BRING IN 20 DUTY UNPAID CIGGIES BY HIDING ICE CREAM TUB!

Mr Rice guy no more..

In an attempt to evade detection, a 40-year-old Malaysian man concealed 20 packets of duty-unpaid cigarettes underneath cooked rice in an ice cream tub. This method did not fool our vigilant ICA officers at the Woodlands checkpoint.

He was handed over to Singapore Customs for investigations and was subsequently charged and sentenced to a court fine of $2,600.

Such method of concealment is a cause of concern as it may be used by persons with ill intent to smuggle security items into Singapore.
