SINGAPORE — Singaporeans travelling abroad during the Labour Day long weekend note that as part of their ongoing efforts to combat drugs, the country has begun the deployment of the Saliva Test Kit at border checkpoints and roadblocks operations. This is to deter the abuse of drugs when Singaporeans or permanent residents travel overseas.
“As part of the #CNBPerspectives Series launched in 2022, CNB took to Facebook and Instagram to share worrying trends from the World Drug Report 2022. In fact, I also posted things relating to this to support their effort. These include the increase of cannabis-use disorders in jurisdictions which legalise cannabis for non-medical use.
With such developments in Southeast Asia, Singapore is taking a tough approach and robust enforcement to ensure that drugs are kept out from its shores as its citizens return from abroad. Data released by the Thailand Ministry of Tourism and Sports showed that Singapore had the third-highest international travellers to Thailand last year, with 614,627 travelling from Singapore to Thailand. There were 69,106 travellers from Singapore to Thailand in Jan 2023 and 60,792 the following month.
