SINGAPORE: The Misuse of Drugs Act will be amended this year to regulate new psychoactive substances (NPS) based on their potential to produce a psychoactive effect, Minister of State for Home Affairs Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim on Monday (Mar 1).
Such substances are intended to mimic the effects of controlled drugs, said the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) on its website, adding that they have unknown toxicology effects and are as addictive and harmful as controlled drugs.
SINGAPORE - There have been 367 breaches of stay-home notices (SHNs) and 130 violations of quarantine orders as at Jan 25, said Minister of State for Home Affairs Faishal Ibrahim on Tuesday (Feb 2).

Associate Professor Faishal was responding in Parliament to Mr Louis Chua (Sengkang GRC), who had asked about the number of SHN and quarantine order breaches, as well as the penalties for these actions.
Those who breach SHNs and quarantine orders may be prosecuted under the Infectious Diseases Act, Prof Faishal said. They could be fined up to $10,000, jailed for up to six months, or both.
