Man fined S$10.4m, jailed after fourth run-in with the law over duty-unpaid cigarettes.
The fourth time was definitely not the charm for veteran black market cigarette dealer Raymond Soh Tian Khoon. After coughing up over S$300,000 grand and doing 30 months in jail on three previous convictions for the tax-free smokes trade, Singapore is throwing the book at him.
Soh and five others were arrested on April 12, 2017, after officers raided an industrial building at Bukit Batok Street 23. It added that the men were supposed to transfer the cigarettes to two Malaysia-registered cars for “distribution to various locations in Singapore.”In 2006, he delivered 200 cartons of duty-unpaid cigarettes and was subsequently jailed for 10 months.
