The Central Narcotics Bureau said in a statement on Facebook yesterday that 25 drug syndicates were busted in 2021, with about $18.16 million worth of drugs being seized in the process.
Here is what they said

In 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic continued to pose challenges to CNB’s ops and strategies.
Despite these challenges, CNB dismantled 25 drug syndicates and made significant seizures amounting to an estimated market value of around $18.16 million in 2021.
We’ve also started using portable drug screening test kits, rolled out our Mobile Diary and piloted the Community Supervision programme, while keeping our Preventive Drug Education efforts up. We’ll be pushing the implementation of these on the ground while continuing to transform our operations in order to better carry out our mission.
Globally, the push for more liberal and “drug-tolerant” policies continues, but we remain committed to our fight for a drug-free Singapore.
We look forward to your continued support!
