2009k Neutral Newbie December 4, 2011 Share December 4, 2011 http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin...1169304/1/.html SINGAPORE: The authorities have foiled another two attempts by women to smuggle drugs hidden in sanitary pads. The Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) and Immigration Checkpoints and Authority (ICA) arrested the women and seized the drugs at Woodlands Checkpoint. The first arrest was made on Saturday afternoon after ICA officers stopped a Malaysian registered 'pirate' taxi at the car arrival bay. Inside the taxi was a male Malaysian driver and two female Malaysian passengers. CNB officers searched the vehicle and its passengers. They found 924 grammes of heroin kept in two bundles hidden between two sanitary pads in the underwear of one of the women. The 23-year-old woman was wearing two pieces of underwear and two pairs of tights. Another female CNB officer then searched the second female passenger, 28, and recovered 902 grammes of heroin and 254 grammes of Ice kept in four bundles. These were hidden between three sanitary pads in her underwear and two pairs of tights. A total of about 1.6kg of heroin and 254 grammes of Ice, with a street value of S$307,700, was seized. The two female suspects may face the death penalty, if convicted. The 60-year-old part time taxi driver is assisting CNB in its investigations. Earlier, on Friday night, a female Malaysian's attempt to smuggle into Singapore small amounts of Ice and cannabis, as well as 20 ecstasy tablets was also thwarted. The 21-year-old female Malaysian had secured the plastic bag containing the drugs onto her underwear and worn a pair of tights over her underwear. The latest drug busts came after a similar arrest on Thursday, when two bundles of heroin weighing about 960 grammes were found concealed between two sanitary pads in the undergarments of a Malaysian woman at Woodlands Checkpoint. - CNA/ck I'm rather amazed why the enforcement officers can discover this... Just because it's a pirated taxi? What was the trigger to check the pads? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Civic2000 Supercharged December 4, 2011 Share December 4, 2011 Pity? I dun pity people who are involved in drug smuggling and trafficking. if they are not caught, thousands of youth will become drug addicts, and from drug addictions, it leads to a lot of social problems. It is better to hang these drug smugglers than to see our youth, lure into drug addiction. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was said to be one of the practice that is applicable to KTV lah, they arrange for combing at specific time and a certain 'suah' batch of girls will kena arrested and deported lah. The drug one damn bad lor, no second chance, come in kena as small prawn means death sentence.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've taken these pirate taxis before. They have 2 versions depending on the number of passengers for that day. If 4 or less, they use a saloon car. More than 4, they'll use minibus. Their journey is like a school bus, the 1st passenger will have to follow through the pickup of all passengers along the way and same when it reaches SG. At immigration, just like a normal car, no need to get down, just sit inside while the driver hands over all the passports. So there's no walking involved until you reach your destination.

My one and only time with pirate taxi is with my friend when we took it from Merlin Tower. The car was stopped and asked to go into a lot and the driver taken into an office for questioning. Then he came back after 15 mins and dropped us at Woodlands. We asked him what happened and he replied that he was questioned why that day he entered and left S'pore so many times. That's the last time I agreed to take a pirate cab. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
