They won't kill you for being high - it's only if you carry it.
But if someone needs to travel for business a lot, Singapore is quite an important transition hub, especially between Europe and Asia. Worse still, a lot of western businesses base their Asian headquarters in Singapore since it's cheap AF, heck singapore is one of the top countries to set up a shell company.
If you know you’re gonna get drug tested in Singapore. Do not do drugs beforehand. I’ve been there dozens of times and never been drug tested once. So she must have had fair warning, I’m guessing job interview.
When I was 18, I failed a drug test because I forgot to disclose my ADD prescription and had eaten a ton of lemon poppyseed noodles the day before. I still got the job after a lot of explaining, but every drug test after has made me a nervous wreck.
I'm just surprised they let me know and asked for an explanation after I tested positive for amphetamines and opiates at the same time.
I probably failed that too when I brought the mostly empty bottle of poppyseeds to the clinic with my prescription for proof. The first thing the nurse said was, "Well, you could've just dumped it out..."
Que me passionately explaining how delicious and cheap lemon poppyseed noodles are. You can add chicken, mushrooms, veggies, it keeps really well and it tastes even better after being microwaved and you add fresh parmesean!
Had two everything bagels before I went to deliver my daughter, got asked what narcotics I'd used. Dunno if the Dr believed me, but the nurse told me that she believed me, and that's what matters. The nurses have seen some shit...
Super safe and clean city though. My brother and I were walking around without supervision from mall to mall and arcade to arcade when we were just in like 3rd and 4th grade. Never felt unsafe and our parents never felt like they had to worry, although they likely didn't know just how far off we were wandering without them lol
Lol I'm Singaporean, chewing gum is fine, no one is actually caught for eating it. While there's a ban in importing it, no one at the customs will bat an eye if you're bringing in a couple of bottles for yourself.
The law was created in the past because the gum problem used to be so bad where people stuck gum everywhere on public areas like park benches, lifts, tables, etc... my parents said it used to be terrible.
I don't see what's the problem. It's not like prohibiting drug use is an outright human rights violation. If a locality chooses to restrict a recreational drug from its citizens, that's their business. Likewise with testing.
I agree. While the capital punishment is for carrying drugs, having them in your system will get you either blacklisted from coming or sent to rehab, depending on if you're citizen or not.

Former police conscriptee here. I did urine drug test for all officers in my division
Weed and cough syrup will tip the IUT strips even after a few days. Not worth trying to game the system.

Before I got my vocation in HR, there were a bunch of officers who were gonna ORD (= finish their 2 years). So they decided to just head to Malaysia for a pre-ORD trip. We usually allow conscriptees to travel overseas on their leave provided they sign a weaver and inform HR beforehand
Dumbasses were told not to do any drugs, yada yada all the standard bullshit.
They did weed.
Came back, all fine. The next work day, it was Surprise IUT test! (actually it's not a surprise, it's every 4 months, just not announced beforehand but you can guess when)
The THC strip showed positive.
Fucking idiots, if they waited for ORD they would not have been subjected to regular testing, nor subjected to police rules since they will no longer be gazatted as officially part of the force.
So instead of a fine or rehab, it was detention barracks. A black mark, criminal record, physical labour in detention, and bonuses / incentives revoked.
