SINGAPORE: A 22-year-old Malaysian man was arrested early on Monday (Jul 23) for attempting to smuggle 1.8kg of heroin into Singapore through the Tuas Checkpoint, the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) and Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) said in a joint release.
The authorities said the suspect had carried the drugs, which were packed into six separate bundles, in a backpack.
