67. Prohibition on keeping of utensil, apparatus, etc., for bottling, blending, etc.

A person who is not the holder of a licence under section 66(1), or under section 83(3) for bottling intoxicating liquors imported or manufactured in Singapore, or blending, compounding or varying any intoxicating liquors, must not knowingly keep or have in the person’s possession any utensil, apparatus, material or ingredient for bottling, blending, compounding or varying intoxicating liquors.

The owner and the occupier of any land or premises upon which any utensil, apparatus, material or ingredient for bottling, blending, compounding or varying intoxicating liquors is found are each deemed, until the contrary is proved, knowingly to have kept or had in the owner’s or occupier’s possession such utensil, apparatus, material or ingredient for the bottling, blending, compounding or varying of intoxicating liquors, as the case may be.

Nothing in subsection (1) applies to stocks held by a bona fide trader in scientific apparatus or in machinery or, with the approval of the Director‑General, to any utensil, apparatus, material or ingredient for bottling, blending, compounding or varying intoxicating liquors in the possession of a person constructing a bottling warehouse, distillery, brewery or other factory with the approval of the Director‑General or of a person in occupation of premises temporarily closed down, in respect of which a licence had previously been held.
