The SSAA said it takes the matter seriously, and it developed a poster detailing a list of prohibited activities and storage items in July.
The Singapore Customs' head of the special investigation branch advised operators of self-storage facilities to "exercise proper due diligence in screening persons renting their facilities" and urged them to report suspected illegal cigarette activities on their premises to Singapore Customs.
