Anyone know about this?

Out of curiosity, I googled for Night Vision Goggles and stuff. but, from my findings, it seems to me that NVG are actually sort of being "banned" or rated as a controlled product in SG.



..... Mr Clinton Tan from KNT Engineering and Trading: "Sensitive equipment like NVGs are regarded as controlled items or strategic goods. Military-spec NVGs are often treated as firearms.

"You will need special permission from the manufacturer and the Singapore authorities before the NVG is allowed here.".....


.... a police spokesman said: "Police do not regulate the sale of night vision goggles unless they are of military grade. Nonetheless, as a form of control, all night vision goggles will have to be sent to Police Licensing Division for an inspection at the time of importation."....
