SINGAPORE: A man was fined S$32,500 on Thursday for having unregistered health products including more than 40,000 condoms, contraceptive pills and medical devices for sale.Song Bowen, 27, pleaded guilty to 13 counts of supplying unregistered health products under the Health Products Act, with another 25 charges taken into consideration.
The pills are unregistered health products containing Levonorgestrel, an active ingredient present in prescription-only medicines. It is used as an emergency contraceptive to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex, and no more than four tablets can be taken per month, said the Health Sciences Authority prosecutor.
The defence asked for community-based sentences, adding that Song had not made profits from the condoms at the point of his arrest.When told it was 40,000, he said:"40,000! What sort of inference is the court supposed to draw, with the fact that he has 40,000 condoms in his possession?"Song is studying part-time at a university and works full-time at an engineering company, his lawyer said.
