SINGAPORE: A 29-year-old Singapore an woman has been arrested by the Central Narcotics Bureau after officers seized more than 7kg of cannabis and other controlled drugs during an operation in the west of Singapore.
CNB said the arrest took place on January 8, 2026, when officers moved in on a room within a condominium unit near West Coast Way. The woman was suspected of involvement in drug trafficking activities.According to CNB, officers had to carry out forced entry after the woman refused to comply with lawful orders to grant access to the room. A subsequent search uncovered a large stash of drugs and related paraphernalia. Among the items seized were about 7,144g of cannabis, 169g of ‘Ice’, 9g of ketamine, 30g of ‘Ecstasy’, and 30 Erimin-5 tablets, along with drug paraphernalia. CNB estimated that the total value of the drugs would be more than S$94,900. They also added that the seized drugs had the potential to feed the addiction of around 1,110 abusers for a week.CNB highlighted that under Section 5 of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1973, trafficking, offering to traffic, or preparing to traffic in controlled drugs is a serious offence. Those convicted of trafficking more than 500g of cannabis may face the mandatory death penalty.The case sparked strong reactions online, with many netizens expressing little sympathy for the suspect. “She bought herself a one-way ticket to the gallows. No need to waste lawyer fees,” one commenter wrote. This is in relation to the strict penalty that Singapore imposes for these kinds of drug crimes. Another reacted to the suspect’s age, saying, “29 years old. Oh, sweetheart.” This shows the disappointment they feel, especially since someone so young is likely going to have to face severe punishment after getting caught.Another described the arrest as a case of a “Small fish caught in a big trap.” This likely responds to the reality that the black market for these kinds of things is massive, and that arresting this 29-year-old would barely put a dent in the complex problem of drug trafficking. The arrest underscores Singapore’s zero-tolerance stance on drugs, with CNB continuing to take firm action against those involved in trafficking, regardless of age or background.document.addEventListener=>{ const trigger=document.getElementById; if { const observer=new IntersectionObserver=>{ entries.forEach { lazyLoader; // You should define lazyLoader elsewhere or inline here observer.unobserve; // Run once } }); }, { rootMargin: '800px', threshold: 0.1 }); observer.observe; } else { // Fallback setTimeout; } });Rising job uncertainty leaves many Singaporeans anxious about the future, Redditors say ‘Do they realise that Singapore is not a Chinese country?’: Local says tourist got upset at him for not speaking Chinese‘I don’t want to be a workaholic’: Singaporean employee says boss scolded them for leaving work on timeGrab, GAC team up to rollout 20,000 EVs across Southeast AsiaSylvia Lim, Quah Kim Song celebrate their first wedding anniversaryFrom Near Miss to Momentum: Harpreet Singh Sets His Sights on 2026
