How is it not tally? Less than or more than you ordered? How did you find out?

Everyone can sue anyone.... if you have the financial means.

1. How do you find out the quantity does not tally? If can relate to us the whole story from the moment you know your cargo being detained.

2. Do you have proof that certain parties took your stuffs?

QUOTE
Some belt buckles can get you arrested
SINGAPORE: There are belt buckles and there are those that can get you into trouble, even if they all are being sold in the local malls as fashion accessories.

Already, two youths are believed to have fallen afoul of the law in Singapore for wearing the shiny metal pieces on their belts � the buckles they owned resembled a knuckleduster, a prohibited item by law.

The police arrested the pair last year and charged them in court with possession of a scheduled weapon. They were at a nightspot, not knowing it was an offence to wear the buckles, according to one of the youths whom TODAY spoke to.

Mohammad, 19, said a friend gave him the belt. The gift cost the teenager, who wanted to be known only by his first name, legal fees to the tune of $4,000. He also had to produce a similar belt buckle, purchased locally, to prove his innocence. The charges were eventually withdrawn, he said.

It is the same scenario another Singaporean, a 27-year-old marketing executive, was reported to have faced in Hong Kong when he boarded a flight home late last year. He was detained and later released on bail for the possession of a belt he bought in the Chinese territory.

Knuckledusters are known to make a punch far more painful than a bare fist could, and "even one that is fitted to a belt as a buckle retains its potential to be used as a dangerous weapon", a police spokesperson said.
ADVERTISEMENT

But when TODAY visited local shopping centres, shop owners were uncertain about whether selling such buckles, which generally go for $25 and are imported from overseas, constituted an offence.

At Peninsula Shopping Centre, one shop owner told customers there have not been any problems selling the buckles and displayed them openly with other belts. But when TODAY contacted him again, the shop owner denied selling them.

Another shop owner, who does not display these buckles openly, does not think it is illegal to sell or wear them as belts, but prefers to show it to customers only upon request.

Yet other shop owners at Far East Plaza told customers that while they have been advised by the police not to sell these items, there have never been any official guidelines. At least one shop has refrained from bringing in the buckles after reading media reports on the Hong Kong incident.

The police told TODAY: "As it is illegal to import scheduled weapons, the public is advised not to purchase such belts and to report anyone found selling them."

While some youths recognised such buckles as knuckledusters, they told TODAY they were unaware that wearing them was an offence. Tertiary student Kenneth Chia, 23, who occasionally wears metallic accessories to complement his outfits, is glad the buckles are banned, due to its association with violence.

Lawyer Amolat Singh, who has handled a similar case previously, also advised all youths to "err on the side of caution".

"The prudent thing to do when buying such fashion accessories is to ask oneself whether that item looks offensive or intimidating and may be used as a weapon as well," said Mr Singh. "Once an instrument is an offensive weapon, carrying it in public is an offence."

And the police urge consumers not to buy accessories made from bicycle or motorcycle chains � also "scheduled weapons".

As for Mohammad, he only hopes his experience will serve as a warning to others: "It's better not to buy or wear those belts for fun, as you might unknowingly get into trouble with the law."

Ok, know wat? i came home on tuesday n find a poslaju note asking me to collect the parcel?! I m happy but at the same time wonders what these govt officers r doing. Y tell me detain n then release w/o informing me? I was gonna send my appeal letter n also plan to vist their office to check whther there r any missing items. Y i say not tally previously? Cos the qty in my order list n the qty they wrote in the detention letter is not tally lo- 10 items missing n since they dun want release (one day say release then another day say cannot) so i suspect they must have mishandle my goods. My bad, but they ve been so inconsistent with things they say so they make me confused. There are many other points too to make one suspect of improper conduct/mishandling/inefficiency but no need to list all la. we know msia boleh one.

But i do get back all the items, no short so no need complain. I think they wanna scare me only at first.. but sigh, i salute them on the way they do their work! thumbup.gif

perhaps those with legal training can correct/add...but, as i understand it, customs are allowed to take sample if they deem necessary...now that's scary
