Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) officers “flagged down” a Malaysia-registered taxi at Woodlands Checkpoint on April 3, but not because they needed a ride.
Pictures posted by ICA on its social media show a yellow cross-border taxi and a haversack filled with e-vaporisers.
ICA said that the vehicle, driven by a 70-year-old Malaysian man, with two passengers aged 28 and 72, was profiled and directed for enhanced checks.
During the checks, ICA’s search and examination officers found over 40 e-vaporisers and related components, and 26 packets of duty-unpaid cigarettes in the haversack of the 28-year-old male Singaporean passenger.
