  • Title: Denial of passports to drug offenders in Singapore.
    Author: Poh Geok Ek.
    Journal: Bull Narc; 1984; 36(3):43-5. PubMed ID: 6570651.
    Abstract:
    In order to curtail illicit drug trafficking, drug offenders are not allowed to leave Singapore for a specified period of time ranging from 2 to 15 years, depending on the gravity of the offence. Offenders who have committed certain drug offences, as specified in this article, are not allowed to possess passports. The Immigration Department maintains a register of drug offenders, on the basis of which it refuses to issue a passport to a person who has a drug offence record. The appeal against such a decision is referred to the Central Narcotics Bureau, which, given extenuating circumstances, may authorize the issuance of a passport for a restricted and defined period of time.
