Excerpt -
ABC South Asia correspondent Peter Lloyd has been arrested in Singapore and is likely to be charged with a number of drug-related offences later today. A statement from Singapore's Central Narcotics Bureau says the 41-year-old was arrested in the course of a follow-up search after the arrest of another man, a 31-year-old Singaporean.
Singapore police say Lloyd was arrested for possessing a small quantity of the drug 'ice', one improvised smoking pipe, and six syringes.
Police say his urine tested positive for amphetamines and he is being investigated for trafficking a controlled drug.
If convicted, Lloyd faces imprisonment of between five and 20 years in jail and between five and 15 strokes of the cane.
