Malaysian Arrested in Massive Drug Bust at Woodlands Checkpoint



A 39-year-old Malaysian man was arrested on December 22, 2025, at Woodlands Checkpoint for allegedly attempting to smuggle over 237,000 dollars worth of controlled drugs into Singapore. The arrest followed a targeted check initiated by the ICA Integrated Targeting Centre, which led officers to discover seven bundles in the man's bag. The seizure consisted of approximately 3,272g of cannabis and 1,709g of methamphetamine, also known as Ice. According to the Central Narcotics Bureau, these drugs could have supplied around 1,440 abusers for a week. Under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1973, the man faces a potential death penalty, as the quantities of cannabis and methamphetamine far exceed the legal thresholds of 500g and 250g, respectively. The authorities reiterated their commitment to border security, noting that they conduct regular checks to prevent the smuggling of drugs, weapons, and other contraband. Investigations into the case are currently ongoing to determine the full extent of the smuggling attempt.

PM Lawrence Wong Declares War on Vapes and Kpods in Singapore

  Prime Minister Lawrence Wong announced on 17 August 2025 that Singapore will take much tougher action against vaping, treating it as a serious drug issue with stiffer penalties. While vaping has been banned since 2018, illegal imports continue, often containing harmful substances like etomidate. The government plans to impose harsher fines, jail time, and mandatory rehabilitation for offenders, while providing addiction support for users. A nationwide enforcement campaign will target schools, tertiary institutions, and national service personnel. Recent measures include reclassifying etomidate under the Misuse of Drugs Act, collaboration between HSA and Hong Kong authorities, and hiring investigators to crack down on Kpods. The public can report vaping offences via hotline or online, and those seeking help to quit will not face penalties. Authorities aim to combine education, enforcement, and rehabilitation to curb vaping and protect young people in Singapore.

Next Generation ERP Singapore

  Authorized car distributors in Singapore will begin installing onboard units (OBUs) for the new satellite-based Electronic Road Pricing system, ERP 2.0, starting with fleet vehicles in November. Private vehicles will follow in batches, with completion expected by the end of 2025. Motor dealerships have been involved in planning the OBU installation, and the three-piece OBU set will be provided to motorists for free during the installation period. Motorists can choose to install or not install the touchscreen display. The Land Transport Authority (LTA) aims to streamline the process, and it has no immediate plans to introduce distance-based charging with ERP 2.0. During the transition, the existing ERP charging method will remain in place. What are your thoughts? You may post anonymously below. Here are some of Social Media users' top comments:
