Singaporean nabbed with 32kg of 'ice'

Lok Chong Meng, 35, was nabbed riding the Bangkok-Butterworth express train with the crystal methamphetamine reportedly concealed in his luggage of eight wooden tea tables.

The suspect confessed that he took the consignment from Bangkok to be stored in the southern city of Hat Yai, where a client would pick it up and take it to Malaysia.

In Bangkok, a man and a woman were seized along with 780,000 ya ba tablets and nine kilograms of crystal meth at their apartment in Sai Mai district.
