The concern is over where the meat patties came from, and/or whats in them. They look at it as "meat of unknown origin"Originally posted by Salman:The burger may not be well cooked.

think it might not be that difficult to find out where the geese came from. I mean beside asking her, I think can also check her passport to find the last immigration exit stamps which will indicate which country she last exited from or check her boarding pass if she still have it to see which flight she took and it will not be difficult to find where the flight came from. With the bird flu thing happening in certain countries, why take chance. Looks at the SARs thing a few years back, once in created a national problem..... Prevention is better than Cure.... always true...

e10, where did you get that part about a fine of up to $10,000 for obstruction of public servant in the execution of duty? Section 186 Penal Code says $500.

then all they need is a frying pan to ensure it is well cooked.Originally posted by Salman:The burger may not be well cooked.

i've heard of a rich friend who flew to HK and bought a packet of wanton mee back just for her father.

I often buy one or two roast geese from "Yong Gei" in Hong Kong. Tell them you are bringing overseas and they'll have it packed properly with the sauce that goes with it. Go through the custom with a smiling face, I was never stopped by any custom officers in changi.
If I were caught, would I be smuggling? I hope not.
If I were ask to surrender, each goose costs about 60 buck sing, I lose S$120 and have to find something else for dinner.
I don't understand what was the problem with this lady.
Since the SARS period, I don't even eat roast goose in HK, have to settle for local roast duck... ... no fish prawn also ok. don't know why need to discuss about law and regulations....
-
the part about the fine and imprisonment.. that's in the Penal Code
and hey... you wanna be safe? always hear people "tong rong yi xia"...
well, think about it... right now, there's bird flu going on... and they're talking PANDEMIC and not just epidemic...
"tong rong" may end up with 50% of singapore's population dying...
THINK ABOUT IT!!
and to think i see morons at the checkpoints arguing over eggs...
what the hell do you think live vaccines are cultivated in? and with that, what do you think killer viruses can live easily in?
don't try to "smuggle" stuff over the borders... please... for your own safety... -
do this in australia or agri-culture countries and they f.uck you upside down

Rexdriver: In this case, she was charged under Section 28 of the Wholesome Meat and Fish Acts, Chapter 349A I believe for obstruction. Section 28 is reproduced as below:
"Any person who obstructs, hinders or impedes the Director-General or any authorised officer, police officer or officer of customs or any other person acting under the direction of the Director-General, in the performance or execution of his duty or anything which he is authorised, empowered or required to do under this Act or the rules shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $10,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months or to both."
As AVA did the prosecution, I think that might be why they went under this section instead of the one under the Penal Code which is usually handled by the police. For the act of obstruction, the section under the Penal Code is just one alternative that the authorities can consider as there are other Acts which also made obstruction an offence such as Section 137 of the Customs Act (obstructing a Customs officer) Section 57(1)(g) of the Immigration Act for obstructing an Immigration officer, Section 30 of the Misuse of drugs Act for obstructing a CNB officer etc depending who the person obstructed and the contraband involved.
I believe you can more details in the AVA homepage with regards to this case or the AGC website if you are interested in the legistration. -

people CEO of a company ok, not underclass ahsos.Originally posted by Salman:I think Robert will say its the govt's fault again. The custom officers shld have been more polite and understanding towards the plight of the underclass ahsos. It is the ultimate in the abuse of power of the elites to oppress the poor local people. -
i think the law was enacted only recently.
a decade ago i brought in 2 roasted geese too. -
no bird flu then...
when you are a traveller, it is your responsibility to find out.. it is not the responsibility of the authorities to tell you..
