During the operations, the authorities discovered that some HDB units were also overcrowded.
Singapore Customs also asked for members of the public to stay vigilant to keep the neighbourhood free of duty-unpaid cigarette activities by contacting Singapore Customs if ever anyone comes across any such activities in the housing estate.
The composition sum for a first-time offender who has up to one packet of duty-unpaid cigarettes in his possession is $500. Heavier penalties will apply if he is found with more than one packet of duty-unpaid cigarettes and/or if he is a repeat offender.
