Singapore Kpod peddler faces 21 charges, including rash act against HSA officers
Summary
Jodan Chin Wei Liang, 28, is facing 21 charges related to the sale of Kpods – vapes containing dangerous substances – and a dangerous incident during a raid by the Health Sciences Authority (HSA). On July 10th, while near Block 189 Bishan Street 13, Chin allegedly accelerated his car towards five HSA officers, forcing one to jump into the vehicle to avoid being hit and another to move out of the way. He is charged with five counts of performing a rash act endangering the officers, six offences related to Kpods, and additional charges under the Passports Act for allegedly providing a false statement to obtain a Singapore passport. These charges come amid a larger campaign launched by Singaporean authorities on July 13th to raise awareness about the dangers of illicit vape products, and the public is encouraged to report vaping offenses to the HSA.
