The following is text from ICA Facebook post
“On 10 Dec, vigilant ICA officers at Jurong Port discovered four bottles of brown liquid, believed to be Kratom, in a Malaysia-registered lorry conveying metal beams.
Two other bottles containing remnants of a similar liquid were also found. The bottles were hidden beneath and behind the driver’s seat.”
“Kratom contains ‘Mitragynine’ and ‘7-Hydroxymitragynine’, which are Class A controlled drugs listed under the Misuse of Drug Act. The importation of any Class A controlled drugs into Singapore is an offence that, upon conviction, carries a punishment of between a minimum of 5 years’ imprisonment and 5 strokes of the cane, and a maximum of 30 years imprisonment and 15 strokes of the cane.”
“Two Malaysian men, aged 35 and 38, were arrested for their connection to this case. The case has been referred to CNB for further investigation.”
