An Auckland man has been convicted of smuggling more pseudoephedrine into New Zealand than anybody else.

Hui Zhang disguised nearly 400kg of the drugs needed to make methamphetamine as "bread crumbs" from China destined for an Auckland restaurant, which he used as a hub to distribute through his network across the city.

At the beginning of the trial in June, the 44-year-old admitted admitted 34 pseudoephedrine supply charges as "simply a link in the chain" but denied the three more serious charges of importation.

But after deliberating for two weeks, the jury found him guilty of smuggling two shipments of Class-B drugs - totalling 392kg - although acquitted him of a third importation of 91kg hidden inside a water cylinder despite his fingerprints being found inside the sealed container.

Zhang now faces a prison sentence likely to be longer than the 13 years and eight months recently given to Van Thanh Tran, who pleaded guilty to smuggling a 250kg shipment after being targeted in Operation Ghost.

SECOND READING OF THE ORGANISED CRIME BILL

Dr Ng Eng Hen led the debate on the Organised Crime Bill, which had a second reading in Parliament on Monday.

"Singapore is one of the safest cities in the world but we are not immune to the threat of organised crime. Our law enforcement agencies have detected the work of organised syndicates behind some serious criminal offences such as drug trafficking and unlicensed moneylending," said the Defence Minister.

"A serious offence is a threat in its own right. But it poses an even bigger threat to our safety and security when perpetrated by an organised crime syndicate. Such organised criminal groups are well-resourced and able to mount and sustain large-scale illegal activities over a prolonged period."

Hence, the need for laws that target the "pernicious activities" of organised crime groups, and those in their higher echelons.

"They are the ones who instruct and intimidate others into criminal acts, yet are most shielded from enforcement. That is why we need an Organised Crime Bill - to enhance our ability to disrupt the activities of such groups at various levels of their hierarchy so as to prevent them from establishing a foothold to perpetrate serious crimes," he said.
