Singapore Night Safari Drug Trafficking

SINGAPORE (AFP) "Singapore's zoo cancelled performances after police said Wednesday they had arrested ten Malaysian workers and three Singaporeans on suspicion of involvement in drug trafficking.

Three Malaysians were intercepted in their taxi at a border crossing between the two countries on Sunday carrying a variety of drugs including cannabis, ketamine and "ice", a concentrated form of methamphetamine, officers said.

One Malaysian and one Singaporean have been charged with drug importation and trafficking and face a minimum sentence of five years' jail and five strokes of the cane if convicted, she said.

Some of the suspects were part of a performance troupe that entertained visitors to the zoo's Night Safari section with mock tribal dances and fire-breathing stunts.

Drug trafficking is punishable by hanging in Singapore if the amounts carried by a suspect exceed certain limits specified by law."

Wow-Love how they remind you of the Severe penalties.

Not surprised he fire-breathers were the ones who got caught.

Just my own judgement. It could have been anyone!

Who would have thought though from the clean and green Zoo Gang!
