In a Facebook post on Aug 5, the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) said it foiled the smuggling attempt made via a Malaysia-registered car.

Its officers had directed the car for enhanced checks.

They then uncovered the e-vaporisers and related components, as well as 150 cartons of heatsticks, or heated tobacco products.
