Health Sciences Authority (HSA), has announced that on 22 September 2017, its officers supported by the Singapore Police Force (SPF), uncovered a large amount of illegal sexual enhancements drugs (SEDs) in a residential unit of a private apartment block in Geylang.

About 300,000 units of assorted illegal SEDs were seized, worth an approximate street value of more than $700,000 – the largest seizure in five years.

HSA stated that it apprehended the intended recipient, a 26-year-old Chinese male, outside a private residential apartment in Lorong 32 Geylangfollowing an alert from the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) about one parcel believed to contain a large assortment of illegal health products.

The man then led HSA officers to his rented room in the building where more illegal health products were recovered. Another man was found in the rented room. Both men are currently assisting HSA with investigations for importing illegal health products

HSA stressed that it takes a serious stand against illegal activities that would harm public health.

“We will take strong enforcement actions against those who engage in the sale and supply of health products containing undeclared medicinal ingredients,” it wrote, adding that anyone who imports and/or supplies illegal health products is liable to prosecution and if convicted, may be imprisoned for up to 3 years and/or fined up to $100,000.

HSA stated that it would like to reiterate the dangers of purchasing health products from dubious sources such as street peddlers. These products may be illegal, counterfeit or substandard, and may contain undeclared, potent ingredients which can potentially cause serious adverse reactions when consumed.

The Authority encouraged members of the public to report any illegal activity involving sexual enhancement products to the Enforcement Branch of HSA at Tel: 6866-3485 during office hours (Monday to Friday) or email: [email protected].

技术性地操作“反假消息法”

回溯2015年,本社英语站刊载了一则读者来函。这篇文章提出发展“地下城”以应付千万人口增长的隐忧。 不过文章发表不久,本社就收到了总检察署来函,指文章内容含有不实信息,否认内容中提及我国有发展地下城计划,并要求本社撤下该文,否则将采取法律行动。 总检察署指文章作者所言不实,即政府并没有透过筹募储蓄债券,来资助应付千万人口需求的地下城计划。总检察署也遗憾本社发文前,没有事先咨询国家发展部求证。 当时,也是本社第二次受到总检察署援引防止骚扰法令(PFA)对付。第一次是2015年2月,国防部基于本社文章对该部构成骚扰,要求本社撤文。 地下空间容纳地铁、水电设施 总检察署给与本社两个选项,即:撤文,或在文章附注提示,注明以筹募新加坡债券来资助地下城计划的陈述不实,且政府也没有发展应付千万人口、可供作住宅发展的地下城计划。地下空间主要容纳地铁、仓储空间或水电设施,以节约地表空间。 此事一年半后,上诉庭裁决在防止骚扰法令第15条文下,政府不应被视为“个人”,故此援引该法不成立。 来到今年,市区重建局在3月27日公布滨海湾、裕廊创新区和榜鹅数码园区的三维地下空间规划图,最深的部分将在地面下15米。地下设施的规划。在2014年的发展总蓝图还没出现。 市建局3月27日首次公布地下规划 如此看来,本社在2015年刊载的有关地下城文章,并非空穴来风,只不过与地下居住空间没有关系。 政府掌握着事实,但即便如此,仍要指控本社在2015年发表的文章不实,技术性地将该文标签为“假新闻”,即使它离真相只有几步之遥。 前日,律政高级政务部长唐振辉出席管理大学的对话会,有与会者提及,繁琐和高昂诉讼费用,可能令民众对于到法庭去挑战政府发出的“更正事实指示”望而却步。…
