ICA officers hack and cut open Malaysia bus’s engine bay, uncover duty-unpaid cigarettes, Singapore News


Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) officers brought out their axes and cutters as they hacked and cut open parts of a Malaysia-registered bus during an enhanced check at Woodlands Checkpoint on June 15.

In a video posted on its social media on Thursday (June 25), ICA officers and workers are seen using cutters at a section of the bus’s undercarriage.

A section of the floorboard was also hacked open, showing what appears to be a modified compartment.

ICA said the bus was profiled and directed for enhanced checks, where its search and examination officers found more than 880 cartons and 110 packets of duty-unpaid cigarettes from the modified engine compartment of the vehicle.

AsiaOne understands that such profiling is typically conducted by ICA’s Integrated Targeting Centre (ITC).
