Sudah terbukti pada kawan yg sy jumpai disana dia harus bayar $200 untuk 4 bungkus rokok yg dibawanya (itupun jg karena dia blm tau ttg kebijakan itu shg petugas yg bersangkutan masih memberi keringanan). selengkapnya di : http://www.customs. gov.sg/topNav/ new/SDPC+ Cigarette+ Marking+Regulati on.htm SDPC Cigarette Marking Regulation SDPC-marking on Every Stick of Cigarette With effect from 1 January 2009, all duty-paid cigarettes sold in Singapore will be legally required to be marked with the letters “SDPC” (which stands for Singapore Duty-Paid Cigarettes).
