The student was one of 15 people, aged 13 to 25, arrested for allegedly buying cannabis from a 37-year-old Singapore resident.
The New Zealander had initially been detained, but was released without being charged, a Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade spokeswoman said.
She would not release the person's sex or age.
The alleged dealer was also arrested in the nationwide drug bust.
In Singapore, a person found guilty of using or possessing cannabis faces up to 10 years in jail and/or a $S20,000 ($NZ19,815) fine. Anyone trafficking more than 500g of cannabis may be executed.
The other suspects are from Singapore, the United States, Britain, France, India, Indonesia or South Africa, officials say.
