A man ordered tobacco but received marijuana instead. He was then mistakenly regarded as a drug dealer and even sentenced to death. The Court of Appeal believed that he really received the wrong package and acquitted him.
On September 21, 2015, a lorry driver employed by a transport company in Johor Bahru drove into Singapore and handed over a red plastic bag to the defendant at the Senoko Drive. The Court heard from the accused that he met a man named Mark Kalaivanan Tamilarasan in prison between November 2017 and January 2018. When the man learned of the arrest of the accused, he told him that he was also on the Senoko Loop on September 21, 2015, and that he had ordered marijuana, but received “butterfly” instead.
