Singaporean Benny Kee Soon Chuan, 31, who appeared in court via video link, was handed one charge of trafficking a controlled drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act.
Offenders convicted of trafficking, importing or exporting more than 250g of methamphetamine may face the death penalty. During the hearing, the prosecution applied for Kee to be remanded for a week to allow investigators to conduct scene visits, trace his accomplices and establish the source of the drugs.
According to court documents, Kee was allegedly outside Singapore when he engaged with a man named Justin Low En Quan in a conspiracy to traffic methamphetamine, also known as Ice.
