27-year-old accused of possessing for sale over 800 vape pods containing etomidate
Three new charges were handed to a suspected Kpod peddler on Sept 5 over allegedly possessing more than 800 Kpods for sale.
Jodan Chin Wei Liang, 27, was accused of possessing for sale 804 vape pods — which were analysed and found to contain etomidate — on July 10 at a carpark in Bishan Street 13.
He also allegedly had two more Kpods for the purpose of selling them at a flat in Bishan that day.
On Sept 5, a Health Sciences Authority (HSA) prosecutor sought an increase in bail for Chin from $10,000 to $15,000. This was granted by the court.
Chin also made an application to leave jurisdiction to go to Malaysia and Vietnam. But this was rejected by the judge as Chin had indicated he would leave Singapore for an "unlimited" period of time.
He said: "For my family, I am responsible for grocery runs across the border, so I am not sure of the schedule."
