5 Indonesians arrested during Batam raid<\/h3>\n

On the night of 17 Jan, Indonesia’s National Narcotics Board (BNN) led a raid on a public entertainment outlet in Batam.<\/p>\n

It involved officers from BNN, the Indonesia National Police (POLRI), Indonesia National Armed Forces (TNI), Directorate General of Immigration, Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC), and CNB.<\/p>\n

After inspecting more than 100 people, including the Singaporeans, five Indonesians in total were arrested for suspected drug-related offences.<\/p>\n

Offence for S’poreans & PRs to consume drugs overseas<\/h3>\n

CNB said its participation in the raid was part of efforts to combat drug use by Singaporeans and Singapore permanent residents (PRs) overseas.<\/p>\n

It noted that it is an offence for a Singaporean or PR to consume controlled drugs outside Singapore, according to the Misuse of Drugs Act 1973.<\/p>\n

In particular, Section 8A of the Act states that Singaporeans and PRs who abuse controlled drugs outside Singapore will be “dealt with as if that offence had been committed within Singapore”.<\/p>\n

Batam raid shows strong partnership between CNB & Indonesians<\/h3>\n

CNB also said that its participation in the raid demonstrated the “close international cooperation” between both agencies in fighting transnational drug threats.<\/p>\n

Moreover, the coordinated multi-agency effort underscores both countries’ “commitment to disrupting cross-border drug activities” and protecting their communities from drugs.<\/p>\n

CNB’s Deputy Director for Operations Aaron Tang said CNB and our Indonesian law enforcement counterparts have a “strong partnership” in the fight against drugs and are mounting “a collective stand” against trafficking and abuse.<\/p>\n

The raid is a “warning” to Singapore drug abusers who think they can escape detection by consuming drugs overseas, he noted, adding:<\/p>\n

There is no refuge for you if you continue to commit drug offences, especially if you disrespect the laws of other countries as well.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
