> Singapore authorities made 975 drug-related arrests at checkpoints last year, more than 50% higher than in 2024. The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority and Central Narcotics Bureau attributed the rise to stepped-up detection and enforcement. Authorities also conducted over 1,400 joint checkpoint operations, about one-third more than in 2024.
