A 46-year-old Malaysian woman was arrested on the morning of June 23 for allegedly attempting to smuggle drugs worth more than $142,000 into Singapore.
The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) and Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) said in a joint statement on June 25 that about 1,057g of cannabis and 973g of methamphetamine, more commonly known as Ice, were found in a Malaysian-registered motorcycle arriving at Woodlands Checkpoint.
ICA officers had profiled the motorcycle and identified it for enhanced checks, during which two bundles suspected to contain controlled drugs were found under the motorbike's front fairing, the agencies added.
The CNB was alerted, and further checks revealed another five bundles hidden in the same area.
The drugs seized could feed the addiction of over 700 abusers for a week, the agencies said.
Police investigations are ongoing.
If found guilty of importing more than 250g of methamphetamine or 500g of cannabis, the woman may face the death penalty.
