In latest local news, the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority uncovered 3,360 cartons of cigarettes at the Woodlands checkpoint. The contraband was found in a Malaysia-registered lorry transporting ladies shoes and pharmaceutical items. Upon closer inspection, 56 unlabelled shoe boxes contained the loot.
I can’t help but wonder if smugglers today had a collective brainwave to hide their goods amid products relating to women, the biggest consumer market around. I don’t know about you, but cocaine in flowers and now contraband cigarettes in shoe boxes? Perhaps it is time to be extra vigilant, especially if your shipments involve feminine products.
What should shipping managers (of all cargoes) do to prevent their goods from being tampered with?
