SINGAPORE - A Bangladeshi man has been arrested for possessing cannabis.

Officers from the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) had spotted a man who had just arrived from Dhaka on Nov 26, at about 3.30am.

He was approached and directed for routine baggage checks as he walked towards the Green Channel at Terminal 2, Arrival Hall of Changi Airport.

During the checks, officers noticed anomalies that showed up in the scanned images of a bottle stated as sun block talcum powder.

When the officers tried to pour the content out of the bottle, it did not come out readily.

Officers then made an incision at the mouth of the bottle and found some greenish substance.

The man was immediately detained and together with the seized exhibits, he was handed over to Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) for further investigations.

Preliminary tests revealed that the greenish substance found in the bottle was cannabis, weighing approximately 197g.

The man is currently being investigated for drug trafficking.

The minimum penalty for the unauthorised trafficking of cannabis would be five years' imprisonment and five strokes of the cane.

THC affects the nerve cells in the part of the brain where memories are formed and may hasten the age-related loss of these nerve cells. So beware
