The man was made to undergo further checks by K-9 police officers at the Changi Airport Terminal 2 Baggage South Red/Green Channel.
Multiple packets believed to contain controlled drugs in the man’s luggage were found by ICA officers, the statement added. Central Narcotics Bureau officers later made further checks.
