u go geylang, u see all the sellers openly selling. but govt seldom catch them
i think that is their tactic
they dun go after the sellers. they go after buyers.
go after sellers, must put them up in jail = spend money on them
go after buyers, fine them $500 per packet = get money for govt coffers -
