SINGAPORE: Six members of a local syndicate that distributed electronic vaporisers from Malaysia using two warehouses in Singapore were sentenced to jail and fined on Friday (Oct 23).
The organised crime syndicate operated in a hierarchy, with syndicate leaders taking instructions from a person based in Malaysia and known only as “Nobody”.
The six Singaporean men who were sentenced on Friday were: Tey Ler Wei, 30, Teo Jin Rui, 29, Tan Boon Hao, 31, Feelix Teo Wang Chye, 30, Iu Bing Yuan, 38, and Nigel Khing Yao Zhi, 28.
Tey, who was a local syndicate leader, received 25 months’ jail and a fine of S$100,000 (US$78,000).
Teo, next highest in rank of the lot as a local distributor operating a warehouse in Lentor, was sentenced to 21 months’ jail and a fine of S$100,000.
The other four, who were area distributors on the lowest rung of the syndicate, received 10 months’ jail each and fines of between S$8,000 and S$24,000.
THE CASE
The syndicate ran from mid-2022 to Oct 16, 2025, distributing vapes imported from Malaysia.
Tey was roped into the group by co-accused Wong Ee Wei, one of the local syndicate leaders.
Tey started out as an area distributor, receiving packed orders from local distributors and delivering them to customers who placed orders with “Nobody”.
Each area distributor was assigned a specific postal area, reporting any unsuccessful deliveries to the group and collecting the payments in cash.
