DIRECTOR’S FOREWORD

DIRECTOR’S FOREWORD - 2012 in review

Annual Bulletin 2012

5

Director’s Foreword 2012 has been a busy year for the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB). Together with the Ministry of Home Affairs and our other strategic partners, we concluded a fundamental review of the drug situation and our drug control approach through the Taskforce on Drugs (TFD). On the enforcement front, we have kept up with the intensity of our enforcement efforts against drug offenders to ensure that the local drug situation remains under control.

Key Strategies for 2012 The hallmark of CNB’s operations is our high tempo enforcement strategy to weed out drug offenders through anti-drug raids and island-wide operations.

In 2012, CNB conducted a total of 49 major operations, crippling 22 drug trafficking syndicates. CNB arrested 3,507 drug abusers in 2012, an increase of 5% from the 3,326 drug abusers arrested in 2011.

Intelligence continued to be the cornerstone of CNB’s drug enforcement strategy. In this regard, CNB has enhanced our current capabilities to ensure effective intelligence coverage on the ground. Concurrently, CNB also built up strategic intelligence capabilities to better anticipate developments in the drug situation and enable the Bureau to take decisive pre-emptive actions. This included enhancing research and analytical capabilities to better understand the profile of abusers and determine emerging drug trends.

To enhance inter-agency cooperation against drug trafficking, Deputy Prime Minister, Coordinating Minister for National Security and Minister for Home Affairs Mr Teo Chee Hean and Malaysia’s Minister for Home Affairs Dato’ Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on 26 June 2012. The MOU is a strong testament to the commitment by both countries in targeting illicit drug activities.

Upstream, CNB continues to focus on preventive education in order to prevent as many youths as possible from drug abuse by reaching out to them and educating them about the harmful effects and heavy consequences of drug abuse. This year, as part of the Anti-Drug Abuse Campaign 2012, participants at the campaign event built Singapore’s largest mosaic wall made of over 20,000 commemorative phone wipes.

This has indeed raised awareness of the anti-drug cause in Singapore.

The Road Ahead The fight against drugs is an ongoing battle, and the drug situation looks set to remain challenging.

The endorsement of the various recommendations made by the TFD, however, will set the foundation for CNB to tackle new emerging challenges. The recommendations are wide-ranging and spans four key areas, namely upstream intervention, rehabilitation and supervision, strong deterrence and enforcement, and engagement of family and community.

One of the key changes that will send a strong deterrent message to drug offenders includes the amendments to the Misuse of Drugs Act to strengthen the punishment regime for drug traffickers. Another is the framework to control new psychoactive substances. This framework allows CNB to proactively deal with new emerging substances of abuse before they hit our shores.

CNB’s key focus in the years ahead will be on implementing the TFD recommendations by putting in place the necessary structures, processes and ensuring that our officers are trained and equipped to fight the drug war. At the same time, CNB will also continue to leverage on technology and systems to keep up with the evolving challenges and to drive organisational excellence.

Conclusion The fight against drugs is a constant battle that CNB cannot fight alone. CNB will continue to work closely with our local and regional partners to stem the inflow of drugs and garner our community’s support to forge a national consensus of zero-tolerance of drug abuse.

I am certain that our officers will have the drive and commitment to keep our country drug-free. I want to thank our officers for all their hard work and efforts and I believe that CNB will overcome the challenges in the future with confidence and dedication.

SINGAPORE DRUG SITUATION 2012

2012 Drug Situation – Continued Efforts Against Challenges Ahead The 2012 drug statistics are set against the backdrop of a worsening regional drug situation.

Drug production figures in the region continue to set record highs and international syndicates have also made inroads into the region, even as regional countries continue to seek enforcement efforts against the drug scourge.

Beyond prevention and enforcement, the new measures that will be introduced in the rehabilitation and aftercare of drug abusers, such as the Enhanced Supervision Regime, will help CNB to control the local drug situation.

CNB will continue with its intensive enforcement efforts targeting both the supply and demand side of the drug problem. The amendments to the Misuse of Drugs Act, which includes enhanced penalties for drug traffickers targeting young persons and recalcitrant drug traffickers, as well as the temporary listing of possible new substances of abuse, will further strengthen CNB’s ability to fight against the drug scourge.

Inhalant Abuse Situation 2012 Inhalant Abuse Situation Continued to Improve The inhalant abuse situation in Singapore continued to improve, with 123 inhalant abusers arrested in 2012 compared to 159 in 2011.

There were fewer arrests of both new and repeat inhalant abusers. The number of new inhalant abusers arrested decreased by 27%, with 53 new inhalant abusers arrested in 2012 compared to 73 in 2011. For repeat abusers, there was a 19% decrease, with 70 repeat abusers arrested in 2012 as compared to 86 in 2011.

The highlight of WPS 2012 was when Guest-ofHonour Mr Masagos Zulkifli, then Minister of State for Home Affairs and Foreign Affairs1, unveiled the recommendations from the inter-ministry Taskforce on Drugs (TFD). The TFD was formed in October 2011 by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) to review and address the problem of drug abuse in Singapore. In line with WPS 2012’s theme, the introduction of the TFD recommendations reaffirms CNB’s readiness and responsiveness towards tackling emerging new challenges against the drug scourge.

KEY RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE TASKFORCE ON DRUGS

Annual Bulletin 2012

21

Key Recommendations from the Taskforce on Drugs In October 2011, Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) formed the inter-ministry Taskforce on Drugs (TFD) to review the problem of drug abuse in Singapore. The findings and key recommendations of the Committee were endorsed by Cabinet in April 2012.

Upstream Intervention for Young Abusers In collaboration with the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF), the Direct Supervision Order (DSO) will be expanded to include compulsory casework, counselling and the involvement of families to give support during rehabilitation.

Key Recommendations To effectively address the problem of drug abuse, the TFD recommendations focused on six key areas, shown as below:

Towards a Drug-Free Singapore

Targeted Prevention

Strong Deterrence

Upstream Intervention for Young Abusers

Rehabilitation and Supervision to Reduce Relapse Rate

Engaging Families and the Community Enhancing System and Structures

Targeted Prevention CNB will adopt a more targeted approach in preventive drug education to prevent young abusers from experimenting with drugs and falling into drug addiction. CNB will also extend its outreach to spread the anti-drug message to older youths in post-secondary institutions such as Institutes of Technical Education (ITE), Polytechnics, and Universities, and those in Full-time National Service.

Strong Deterrence As the drug landscape in Singapore and in the region evolves, CNB will need to strengthen its enforcement and intelligence capabilities. To curb the demand for drugs, CNB is working with the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) to explore hair analysis as a supplementary drug detection tool to strengthen deterrence for CNB supervisees in 2013.

In response to the rapidly changing drug scene, new psychoactive substances can be listed in the Misuse of Drugs Act (MDA) on a temporary basis for up to twelve months. This will empower CNB to seize and remove these substances swiftly before they can come into widespread circulation.

Together with the Ministry of Law and the Attorney-General’s Chambers, MHA is reviewing the enforcement and punishment regime. This includes strengthening the punishment regime for repeat traffickers and traffickers who target the young and vulnerable. The amendments will help to ensure that the MDA stays relevant and effective in controlling the drug situation in the coming years.

A Community Rehabilitation Centre (CRC) will also be set up as a step-down arrangement for new young abusers of moderate risk. The CRC will comprise a structured residential component with counselling programmes in the evenings, thereby allowing the youths to continue with their education or employment in the day. The CRC will come under the purview of the Singapore Prison Service.

Rehabilitation and Supervision In the area of rehabilitation and supervision, the TFD recommended for the Drug Rehabilitation Centre (DRC) regime to be restructured so as to minimise the influence of the more “experienced” abusers on first-time abusers by segregating them. The TFD also recommended for the provision of in-care rehabilitation and counselling programmes to be enhanced for the DRC inmates. This will be focused on criminogenic needs, such as antisocial thinking, addressing addiction issues, and teaching abusers self-control and taking responsibility for their own actions.

An Enhanced Supervision Regime is also recommended by the TFD for high-risk offenders to ensure that they do not relapse upon their release. In addition to being under urine supervision, those selected for this scheme would also come under electronic monitoring with curfew hours, as well as be provided with counselling and casework.

Engaging Families and the Community CNB will work with parents of young abusers as well, as they play a critical role in the rehabilitation and reintegration of youths who are caught abusing drugs.

Community-based treatment and support are also recommended and MHA will work with MSF, Voluntary Welfare Organisations (VWOs) and Halfway Houses to increase the number of halfway house places and strengthen the support system for ex-drug abusers in the community to prevent their relapse.

Enhancing Systems and Structure A Steering Committeee will also be established to oversee the implementations of the TFD recommendations, enhance inter-agency collaboration between MHA, Ministry of Education and MSF, and to encourage greater involvement of families and community in the fight against drugs.

International Relations In 2012, CNB conducted regular information exchanges and meetings with our foreign counterparts. By joining hands in the fight against the drug scourge, we can only strengthen each other’s efforts and achieve maximum impact. Here are some of the highlights:

Singapore - Malaysia MOU on Cooperation against Drug Trafficking A major milestone in the fight against drugs for Singapore was the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Malaysia to enhance cooperation against drug trafficking.

Deputy Prime Minister, Coordinating Minister for National Security and Minister for Home Affairs Mr Teo Chee Hean and Malaysian Minister for Home Affairs Dato’ Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on 26 June 2012.

Singapore Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) and Malaysia Royal Malaysia Police (RMP) were designated as the implementing agencies of the MOU. The MOU between Singapore and Malaysia signifies both countries’ commitment towards the common goal of a drug-free society and the importance of crossborder cooperation to achieve this goal. It formalises years of operational cooperation between CNB and the Narcotics Crime Investigation Department (NCID) of the Royal Malaysia Police (RMP), and will lay the foundation for closer collaboration between Singapore and Malaysia in future.

Participation at the 55th UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND) The United Nations (UN) Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND), established in 1946, is the central policy-making body for drug-related matters in the UN and reports to the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).

This meeting is a platform for CNB to be updated on the issues that are of concern to the international community, and to gain information on new drug trends and movements in the drug law enforcement scene. It also provides early notice for new reporting mechanisms in carrying out our obligations under the international drug conventions.

The 55th Session of CND was held in Vienna, Austria from 12 to 16 March 2012. The Singapore delegation was led by Director Policy, Planning & Research Division (PPRD), Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB), Ms Chew Huey Ching.

On 26 June 2012, Singapore’s Deputy Prime Minister, Coordinating Minister for National Security and Minister for Home Affairs Mr Teo Chee Hean and Malaysia’s Home Affairs Minister Dato’ Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein signed a Memorandum of Understanding to enhance cooperation against drug trafficking.

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

1st Special AMM on Drug Matters The 1st ASEAN Ministerial Meeting (AMM) on Drug Matters was held from 30 August to 1 September 2012 at Shangri-La Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand.

The Singapore delegation was led by Senior Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and Home Affairs (SMS) Mr Masagos Zulkifli and comprised Director Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) Mr Ng Ser Song and two accompanying officers.

During the plenary session, Ministers from the respective ASEAN Member States (AMS) delivered their country statements. The officials shared on their respective national drug situations and learnt about the challenges faced by the AMS in dealing with the evolving nature of the illicit drug trade in the region.

At the end of the discussions, a Chairman Statement was adopted to re-affirm the commitment made by AMS to realise an ASEAN community free from the threat of illicit drug abuse, use and trafficking by 2015. Tactical recommendations and actions which were to be undertaken by respective ASEAN Sectoral Bodies were also incorporated into the statement.

“The growing connectivity of ASEAN, while creating legitimate benefits for its citizens, is at risk of being abused by illicit drug trafficking and drug syndicates.

This calls for increased cooperation among the various ASEAN Sectoral bodies and for their respective ASEAN Committees to integrate Drug matters into their work where appropriate.�

Expert speakers from overseas agencies such as the Australian Federal Police (AFP), Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) United States, and National Drug Intelligence Bureau New Zealand were also invited to share their countries’ drug situation and the challenges faced within their jurisdictions.

The course aims to share with participants, Singapore’s holistic and integrated approach in the fight against drugs. The 32 participants from 16 countries that form the Colombo Plan were also introduced to CNB’s responsibilities and capabilities.

The joint training programme also emphasised the need for international cooperation and gave the participants an opportunity to come together and learn from the various key speakers from different countries.

9th Joint Narcotics Course (15th to 19th October 2012) The Joint Narcotics Course is an annual tripartite training course between Singapore’s Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB), the Narcotics Crime Investigation Department (NCID) of Royal Malaysia Police, and the Police Narcotics Suppression Bureau (PNSB) of Royal Thai Police.

Led by CNB in 2012, the ninth run of the course was attended by a total of 28 participants from the three agencies. The objectives of the course were to allow officers to share drug control experiences and strategies while forging strong bonds through interactions during the course.

Preventive Drug Education Programmes 2012 To spread the anti-drug message and educate youths on the dangers of drugs, CNB’s Preventive Education Unit organised a line-up of exciting and refreshing activities and programmes to capture the youths’ interest and support for the anti-drug cause.

Anti-Drug Talks and Exhibition CNB conducted a total of 353 assembly talks, skits and exhibitions targeted at youths, those in Full-time National Service, foreign workers and the general community on the dangers of drugs. These outreach programmes give officers the opportunity to share their experiences and to relate interesting facts on drugs to the audiences at these events.

CNB also widens its outreach efforts by working with community partners to give talks at schools, family centres, children’s homes and workplaces.

To ensure our anti-drug talks remain appealing to the new generation, CNB collaborated with a team of final year students from Singapore Polytechnic’s School of Digital Media and Infocomm Technology (DMIT) to conceptualise and produce an anti-drug animation video titled ‘Vision of Danger’ in September 2012. The video will be screened during school assembly talks to primary school students where dangers of drugs such as heroin, cannabis and ‘Ice’ are told through a story of a schoolboy who successfully resisted the temptation to try drugs.

Anti-Drug Ambassador Activity 2012 With the support of the Ministry of Education (MOE), the Anti-Drug Ambassador Activity was developed to promote greater understanding and peer sharing of the dangers of drug abuse amongst students. The activity attracted a total of 26,873 participants from primary schools and organisations where each participant was given a booklet to complete a range of interactive tasks with their parents and teachers.

Upon completion, each participant would be awarded a set of button badges.

Anti-Drug Posters and Brochure Design Competition In collaboration with LASALLE College of the Arts (LASALLE), CNB organised the Anti-Drug Posters and Brochure Design Competition from 19 September to 23 October 2012.

The competition attracted some 95 students from the college. Each team was made up of two to four students, and the teams were required to design a set of two posters and a brochure that featured the harmful effects of abusing heroin and methamphetamine.

Through the competition, the students not only got to exercise their creativity and artistic talents, they also learnt about the dangers of drug abuse in a fun and innovative way.

The winning team used the concept of food packaging to illustrate the deceptiveness of drugs - drugs appear innocuous and fun but come with deadly consequences

DanceWorks! 2012 - ‘Live It Loud with Dance!

Stay Cool. No Drugs’ Over 900 energetic participants took part in the annual anti-drug dance competition where various dance groups battled to be the champion in the Grand Finals. Currently in its 14th year, the tagline for DanceWorks! 2012 was ‘Live It Loud with Dance!

Stay Cool. No Drugs’.

The dancers wowed the judges and supporters with their electrifying and vibrant dance moves where they had to bring out the anti-drug theme in each of their dance. Fringe activities such as the DanceWorks! Logo Design Contest and the Live It Loud with Dance Fastest Fingers Challenge also encouraged participants to express their creativity and spread the anti-drug message.

Anti-Drug Abuse Campaign To commemorate the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking on 26 June, the National Council Against Drug Abuse (NCADA) and CNB collaborated with students from the Singapore Polytechnic’s School of Architecture and the Built Environment (ABE) to conceptualise and organise a series of anti-drug activities to raise awareness on the anti-drug cause. The theme for 2012 was ‘Life Does Not Rewind. Make the Right Choice’.

The highlight of the campaign was when Senior Minister of State for Home Affairs and Foreign Affairs, Mr Masagos Zulkifli, launched the Drug Buster Academy, an anti-drug mobile drug exhibition bus on 24 June 2012. The mobile bus exhibit enabled CNB to educate a wider audience on the dangers and consequences of drug and inhalant abuse, through a series of interactive exhibits. For example, on board the Drug Buster Academy, visitors can view the effects of drug abuse on the various human organs on a mock autopsy table.

Another key event was the successful attempt by student volunteers to build Singapore’s largest mosaic, using more than 20,000 of the commemorative phone wipes produced for the campaign. This event was held over two days (on 23 and 24 June 2012) at The Cathay. Separately, over 200 student volunteers also helped to distribute the phone wipes to members of the public to spread the anti-drug message.

Sportzamania 2012 Sportzamania 2012, an anti-drug sports carnival, was held at Sports Planet East Coast on 16 September 2012. Themed “Live It Loud with Sports�, the carnival was organised in collaboration with the School of Hospitality (SOH) of Republic Polytechnic, and aimed to encourage youths to lead a healthy, drug-free lifestyle through fun sports and carnival activities while bringing across the anti-drug message.

Close to 500 youths aged 25 and below participated in the 5-A-Side futsal tournament and amazing race competition. Supporters of the participants and members of the public also participated in fringe activities such as the anti-drug themed carnival games and the anti-drug Frisbee and soccer socks design contests. The crowd was also entertained by interesting performances such as a narcotics search demonstration by the Police K-9 Unit, a band performance by Ricochet from Republic Polytechnic, as well as inline skating and slacklining performances. The participants and the public also stamped their handprints on
