SINGAPORE – Two days after his arrest in a Bishan vape sting operation, a suspected Kpod peddler allegedly tried to get a new passport by lying that he had lost his original document.
This resulted in Jodan Chin Wei Liang, 28, being handed a charge under the Passports Act on Nov 20.
Chin was earlier charged with nine offences, most of which involved him possessing vapes and vape pods.
In one charge, he allegedly had
more than 800 Kpods in assorted flavours
for sale. These flavours came with different names, such as “Zombie” and “Lucifer”.
Kpods are vapes laced with etomidate, a powerful anaesthetic drug meant to be used only to induce sedation by injection into the veins during medical procedures.
When vaped, etomidate enters the lungs, potentially triggering spasms, breathing difficulties, seizures and even psychosis.
