[shakehead] [shakehead] SAF driver jailed 16 months for helping to smuggle cigarettes By Leong Wee Keat, TODAY | Posted: 03 March 2009 2042 hrs SINGAPORE: One of three Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) servicemen charged for accepting bribes to help smuggle cigarettes out of a military base had been sentenced to 16 months' jail. Ang Zi Heng, 22, pleaded guilty to one charge of corruptly accepting about 18 to 20 cartons of contraband cigarettes from a staff of the Indonesian Navy in exchange for transporting contraband cigarettes out of Changi Naval Base for sale to a Singapore syndicate. Ang was the vehicle commander of a military minibus driven by Ee Jin Liang last August. Some members of the Indonesian navy, who were here for a meeting, loaded cartons of contraband cigarettes onto the minibus that Ee and Ang were driving and directed the Singaporeans to drive to the carpark outside the naval base. Ee and Ang made a total of five to six trips and they received contraband cigarettes with a street value of S$756 for helping with the smuggling. The prosecution argued for a deterrent sentence as Ang had committed the offence in the course of his duties as a military driver and undermined the security of Changi Naval Base. Ang, who was unrepresented, pleaded for leniency and claimed he did not communicate with the Indonesian staff due to a language barrier. Family members said Ang was a non-smoker and gave the contraband cigarettes away to others. The two others involved in the case, Ee and Adrian Tan, will appear in court on March 13. If convicted, they could each be jailed up to five years and/or fined a maximum of S$100,000. - TODAY/yt ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
