After learning that the plan could result in a death penalty, his ex-girlfriend advised him to retrieve the cannabis.
Tan followed the woman’s advice and drove back to the scene. By the time he arrived, officers had already found the marijuana packets. He tried to flee again, but he was arrested at his own block later that day.
On Thursday (August 29), he was sentenced to three years and ten months in jail for one count of possessing at least 216g of cannabis, the amount of pure drugs eventually found in the 11 packets.
His then-wife was also investigated, but a search of her room and mobile phone found nothing incriminating.

A second charge of fabricating false evidence was taken into consideration for Tan, according to Channel News Asia.
“His intention to frame the involved party for a serious offense carried high potential harm to an innocent person,” said the prosecutor.
Investigators concluded that Tan’s plan was carefully thought-through, involving research into the penalties for drug offenses, obtaining money to buy drugs, using gloves, and deleting messages on his phone.
“The accused’s purchase of a significant quantity of drugs, in itself, enabled the local drug trade by lining the coffers of its suppliers and contributing to the impetus for drugs to be trafficked into Singapore,” the prosecutor added.
