SINGAPORE : A former National University of Singapore (NUS) Associate Professor was among those arrested for drug possession during a Central Narcotics Bureau raid.

The raid in the Lavender Street area took place on December 16 last year.

54-year-old Harold Tan was believed to have been found with several types of drugs, including 'ice'.

Tan is undergoing treatment and rehabilitation in a drug rehabilitation centre.

According to a personal profile of him on the Web, Tan taught Real Estate Development and Finance and has 26 years of experience.

He resigned last November.

He was also a consultant who oversaw property developments in China, Malaysia and Singapore.

The profile listed Tan as a Public Service Commission Local Merit Scholar and Jurong Town Corporation Overseas Merit Scholar.
