SINGAPORE: A man is to serve 42 weeks in jail over false declarations about almost 20,000 bottles of liquor that were supposed to be exported, but were found in a storage facility with taxes unpaid.

Alfred James Martin Galistan, 59, was found guilty by the State Courts of instructing a logistics service provider to declare the export of liquor from a licensed warehouse as sea stores - goods meant for use by seamen and passengers on ships outside Singapore waters.
