SINGAPORE \u2013 Two men, who worked for a third person, were tasked with transporting 3,480 vape-related devices from Malaysia to Singapore in a car, but were caught at Woodlands Checkpoint in June 2025.<\/p>\n
On June 5, Muhammad Haiqal Zaini, 22, a Malaysian, was sentenced to 18 weeks\u2019 jail after he pleaded guilty to importing 2,800 pods and 680 cartridges into Singapore.<\/p>\n
His accomplice and fellow Malaysian, Muhammad Musray, 21, was convicted of a similar charge in February and was sentenced to 20 weeks\u2019 jail.<\/p>\n
Health Sciences Authority prosecutor Debra Ann Tan told the court that the pair had worked for a man, known only as \u201cDin\u201d or \u201cFaie\u201d.<\/p>\n
Before they were caught, Haiqal and Muhammad Musray managed to enter Singapore on an earlier occasion with another consignment of vape cartridges and pods.<\/p>\n
Court documents did not disclose when they had done so.<\/p>\n
During this earlier operation, the pair managed to enter Singapore undetected and were given a postal code to drive to. Details of the address have been redacted from court documents.<\/p>\n
After they arrived at their destination, Din sent them a picture of a Singapore-registered lorry and told the pair to load the contraband goods onto the vehicle.<\/p>\n
Haiqal and Muhammad Musray complied before returning to Malaysia.<\/p>\n
Muhammad Musray earned RM550 (around S$167, according to court documents) from the first delivery and stood to earn up to RM1,100 from the second one in June 2025.<\/p>\n
Court documents stated that Haiqal received RM150 for the first delivery and was promised RM100 for the second one.<\/p>\n
On June 17, 2025, Din loaded a car with eight boxes containing the 3,480 vape devices before he picked up Muhammad Musray in Desaru in Johor.<\/p>\n
After that, he drove to Pasir Gudang, which is in the same Malaysian state, to pick up Haiqal, before alighting at a petrol station. Muhammad Musray then took the wheel.<\/p>\n
Muhammad Musray and Haiqal reached Woodlands Checkpoint shortly after noon that day, where the Singapore authorities caught them during a check.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
