SINGAPORE: A 36-year-old male is assisting with studies over the suspected unlawful manufacture and supply of sexual drugs, and selling of vaporizers, following a attack by the Health Sciences Authority ( HSA ).
In response to CNA’s query, HSA said on Monday ( Apr 21 ) that this is the first case involving the illegal manufacture of sexual enhancement medicines.
The authority added in a press release that it carried out a raid on a Housing Board ( HDB) flat at Beo Crescent on Mar 21 after receiving information about the occupants ‘ alleged involvement in the illegal manufacturing and storing of health products in the unit.
More than 18,000 models of dosage sexual enhancement drugs and supplements, some pieces of equipment and relevant equipment were seized, along with 30 e-vaporisers and components.
The items seized have a street value of about S$ 51,000 ( US$ 38,910 ), HSA said.
The expert noted that the products and equipment were used for the produce of capsules.
” They included a bruise group sealing machine, capsule filling machine, clear gelatine capsules, empty bottles and pots, and printed categories for different sexual enhancement items,” it said.
” To time, HSA has never detected the price of these illegally manufactured sexual enhancement items online. “
HSA added that native e-commerce and social media platforms have been informed to put in place measures to avoid the online listing of these improperly manufactured products.
