509kg of Cannabis Seized from Container at Pasir Panjang

On January 3, 2026, authorities at the Pasir Panjang Scanning Station seized 509kg of cannabis from a 20-foot inbound container. The operation was a success due to shared intelligence between Singapore Customs, the Central Narcotics Bureau, and the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority. The container was initially flagged by the ICA Integrated Targeting Centre for enhanced checks. During the scanning process, ICA Image Analysts noticed anomalies, leading to a physical search where officers found a brownish substance in a box. Further inspection by the CNB revealed a total of 902 packets of cannabis. Investigations indicate that the drugs were intended to transit through Singapore to another country.

Under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1973, smuggling more than 500g of cannabis carries the death penalty. This massive bust highlights the effectiveness of Singapore's multi-agency approach and the use of advanced technology in securing the borders against international drug trafficking syndicates.
