SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): Singaporeans and permanent residents who use drug-laced vapes like Kpods overseas can still be prosecuted here.

The extraterritorial jurisdiction of the Misuse of Drugs Act means those who abuse drugs overseas will be dealt with as if that offence had been committed in Singapore.
