Chong Jun Keong, a 21-year-old Malaysian man, received a 41-week jail sentence after pleading guilty to two charges related to the possession and distribution of vapes and components in Singapore. He was caught during a raid on a vape warehouse in July 2025, where authorities seized nearly 18,000 vapes and almost 30,000 components. A subsequent search led to the discovery of another warehouse with over 5,500 vapes and 13,000 components. Chong had been working as a packer for approximately two months, earning $100 per day, after being recruited by a customer from his job in Johor Bahru. The court emphasized the need for deterrence in vape-related offenses, which carry a fine of up to $10,000, a jail term of up to six months, or both.
