Teo Heuw Choon was facing the prospect of a seven-year jail sentence for taking heroin.

Instead, he walked out of court a free man after he was acquitted over a discrepancy in two urine samples. The 56-year-old, who has two previous drug consumption convictions, was released after being given a "stern warning" by the Central Narcotics Bureau.

The charge against him was dropped at the prosecution's request last month because the two samples he gave contained different quantities of heroin.

One had 30 nannograms per millilitre (ng/ml) while the other showed 53 ng/ml.
