Why but. Why are chances zero.
I’m trying to work out how many times they do random testing. There is not much on the news about it

Because the don't DO random drug testing. Years ago, there were a couple of possible exceptions. For example, you were a citizen, PR, or maybe EP/DP, you flew in from Thailand completely stoned and stinking of pot, you might get pulled aside. This was going through customs, not catching another flight.
These days, Changi is no different than any other airport, and it's much much better than some in minimizing any kind of intrusive searches.
I don't know what you think you heard about flying into Singapore but it's bullshit.

Sounds like good marketing by Sg to keep druggies out.

I’m imagining immigration army types cruising around and testing people
I heard the rumour from other travelers that they randomly test people and bust them even if there foren person who is just passing through that is transiting
Allthough. I don’t see much about it on google any where. No news not much at all it looks like generals should be safe as long as you lay low and look Good

Mate, put down the bong and re-enter reality. For that kind of sleaze customs behavior, there are lots of countries you should be more worried about, and the United States is pretty close to the top of the list for pointlessly detaining people.
Or Australia... except you know what they will be looking for? Mud... on your shoes... they are dead serious about keeping foreign plants and animals out of Australia.

No, we don't delete posts and even if you delete your account the posts will still remain. It's just the way it is. Otherwise, this forum of information would become useless and all those who took the time to respond will be just wasting their time as we are constantly trying to pay it forward.

The only thing I would recommend readers of this post to be wary of is pre-employment drug tests in Singapore. I know a few expats who have had to hurriedly postpone a medical when they have discovered the employment medical includes a urine test. That would be an issue for sure.
