Default Singaporean caught smuggling cigarettes in socks and underwear

SINGAPORE: A Singaporean man, who tried to smuggle cigarettes by stuffing them in his socks and swimming trunks, has been caught at the Woodlands Checkpoint.

Immigration and Checkpoints Authority officers say they stopped him as he had unusual "bulges" on him and was behaving suspiciously.

The 45-year old man claimed that he had bought the contraband items for his own consumption, as well as for sale to his colleagues and friends.

In all, the man had 24 packets of tobacco and 33 packets of cigarettes on him worth about $730.

ICA warns that first time offenders can be fined up to 20 times the amount of duty evaded.

Repeat offenders face up to two years' jail and fine. - CNA/yy

I think these people are so daring. Many have been caught and they are still doing it.

sometime can see a lot ppl walking along at some road with plastic bag selling those smuggled cigarattes also

to fall in love is always easy
to start a relationship is always simple
to build it, is always tough
to maintain it, is 'better said than done'
to break off, is 'easier said than done'
to remain friends after u broke off, is never possible
to forget the memories is 'always doing but never succeeding'
to heal the pain within is hard and tough and never near simple
but one has to try to heal your own heart...

haha, I'm sure this way has been used by many but still they try their luck. They are just waiting to be caught.

Hehe, just do it. For those people who are NSF's and hate their life in it. Just get it done and over with, dont go doing stupid things and get yourself charged for no particular reason. Other than that, stay cool. :rock:

i guess, the price differential is just too great and the temptation too difficult to resist for addicts
