The airline has to deal with it. If there are illegal things inside, you will be liable,\u201d said a netizen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">\u201cWhy (did) you do that? What if (there were) drugs inside\u2026and you got caught?\u201d another asked, while yet another in reply said she could\u2019ve faced dire consequences: \u201cIn some countries like Malaysia\/Singapore it would mean death penalty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">Many netizens told her she should have remained firm and insisted the other person return her luggage at the airport.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">\u201cHe\u2019s lucky you\u2019re being the bigger person,\u201d remarked a netizen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">Meanwhile, several commenters asked for details about the other person.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">\u201cWas he handsome?\u201d asked one netizen in jest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">Stomp has reached out to Jordelia for more details.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"bg-primary-100 h-px border-0 mt-lg md:mt-xxl\"\/>\n<div class=\"flex flex-col gap-xl rounded-xl border border-primary-100 mt-lg md:mt-xxl\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stomp.sg\/assets\/stomp-comment-COLiWNMD.png\" alt=\"Stomp Comment\" class=\"absolute -mt-lg -ml-xs w-[203px] md:w-[255px]\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Have something to say?
