The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority and the Health Science Authority jointly launched law enforcement operations against illegal devices and seized a large number of electronic cigarettes and related accessories, with an estimated market value of about $66,000. 

According to the authorities, A 28-year-old man is assisting authorities in the investigation.

Most of the products that were seized appear to be a popular vape brand known as Relx, a pod system vape device that is commonly seen in KSL mall (Malaysia, Johor Bahru)

Immigration and Checkpoint Authority officers found eight packages at Changi Air Freight Center on the 7 of July 2019, which contained 24 sets of e-cigarettes and more than 1,200 related accessories. 

The Health Science Authority raided the suspect’s home and found another five sets of electronic cigarettes and nearly 3,200 related accessories.

Just two weeks ago on the 13 November, ICA officers found 160 sets of electronic cigarettes and 300 related accessories in seven packages at the Changi Air Freight Center as well.

Initial investigations revealed that the 28-year-old man involved in the case purchased the batch of electronic cigarettes and accessories online and falsely declared the items as electronics and beauty products.

A 48-year-old man is back in the mercy of the law after committing a sexual assault on a 13-year-old girl. A gag order has been placed, therefore the man cannot be named.

His series of crimes started back in 1980 for robbery, disorderly behaviour and in possession of obscene films. His most recent conviction was in 2006 for raping a 16-year-old girl, he was sentenced to jail and rotan until he was released six years ago.

Even after a jail term and getting whipped by the rotan, the man did not learn his lesson and committed a sex crime against a 13-year-old twice.

The man got close with the 13-year-old after providing a place for the girl to stay whenever she runs away from home. She hangs out with the 48-year-old like a friend in the neighbourhood. The man treated the girl as his daughter and would send her to school as well as pick her up.

Whenever the girl runs away from home, she would seek refuge at the man’s house. He sometimes gives the girl money and cigarettes.

The first incident

In Augst 2017, the man gave the girl a “massage” on the girl’s leg and slowly move and make his way to her upper body. He then pulled down the girl’s jeans and underwear.

The girl told the man that she did not like it, but the man told her to “relax” and continued assaulting her. He did not stop until the victim was sterned and expressed that she did not like.

The Second Incident.

A few months later around December 2018 to Jan 2019, the victim was sleeping on a bed in the man’s home.

She woke up in the middle of the night after the man pulled down her jeans and underwear again, she then got off the bed and pulled her jeans back up. The man apologised to the girl but sometimes an apology is not enough.

Mother found out

The victim’s mother found out about the incident and reported to the Police, the man later found out that the police were after him and he went into hiding. He felt betrayed by the girl and finally surrendered to the Police after the Chinese new year.

He will be sentenced next month.

According to a post by ICA, ICA officers who were on duty at Tuas Checkpoint on the 22 of November stopped a Malaysian vehicle from entering Singapore. The officers discovered 502 cartons and 1260 packets of contraband cigarettes.

The officers stopped a 32-year-old Malaysian female driver and directed the driver for further checks.

The vehicle was modified to store cigarettes in the roof and undercarriage of the vehicle.

The female driver has been referred to Singapore Customs for further investigations.
