Published on May 17, 2012
A suspected smuggler was arrested on Wednesday after more than $100,000 worth of drugs were found hidden inside a tissue box.
The 28-year-old Malaysian was detained at the Woodlands Checkpoint after a Home Team officer searching his car noticed that the cardboard container seemed suspiciously heavy.
The cover was removed, to reveal a bundle wrapped in black masking tape nestling inside.
It was later found to contain about 500g of a substance believed to be crystal methamphetamine, also known as Ice.
