Malaysian doctor jailed for selling drugs in Singapore
A Singapore judge today sentenced Malaysian doctor Yap Cheng Kwee to 12 and three months' imprisonment for selling sleeping pills without a licence and possession of illegal drugs respectively.
The sentences are to run concurrently and the judge set S$120,000 bail pending the hearing of his appeal. The court also ordered Yap to surrender his passport.
On Aug 17, Yap was detained by Central Narcotics Bureau officers in a car park in Woodlands Town Centre just as he was sealing a deal with a drug trafficker. He was found with 10,000 Dormicum pills and 16 triazolam sedative tablets. On Nov 9, he pleaded guilty.
Such a pity for him and his family members, must be very heart-broken. My parents always remind me not to be tempted by illegal ways of getting rich fast. Work hard, work smart; slow and steady wins the race in life!
