Myanmar teen who lost immigration pass over Kpod offence being investigated for possessing weapons

“Police investigations are ongoing. Following the conclusion of her case with the police, she will be deported and barred from re-entering Singapore,” MHA said.

The girl was found to be in possession of the Kpod during a routine police check on Nov 14, the ministry said on Monday.

Under the enhanced anti-vaping framework that came into effect on Sep 1, foreigners caught using or possessing Kpods, or who test positive for etomidate, may have their pass or immigration status revoked and be deported and banned from re-entering Singapore.

Importers, sellers and distributors of etomidate e-vaporisers will face penalties including three to 20 years’ imprisonment and five to 15 strokes of the cane for importers, and two to 10 years’ imprisonment and two to five strokes of the cane for sellers and distributors.
