She said that the government could use the Security Offences Act , Prevention of Crime Act and the Anti-Money Laundering Act to handle these offences.

"These organised crime syndicates constantly change their modus operandi to avoid detection so it is important that enforcement efforts follow suit,” said Khoo.

Under the proposed law, cigarette smuggling carries stiffer and heftier penalties, including making the illicit trade non-bailable.
