Peter Lloyd was charged with possessing and trafficking methamphetamine last week. Bail was set at $45,000. Lloyd's next court appearance is on Friday

ABC's most senior staff will meet the network's South Asia correspondent, Peter Lloyd, in a Singapore jail this morning for the first time since his arrest for drug trafficking.The ABC's director of news, John Cameron, flew to Singapore last night, joining the ABC's legal adviser, Rob Simpson, who arrived in Singapore after Lloyd was charged with possessing and trafficking methamphetamine last week. Bail was set at $45,000. Lloyd's next court appearance is on Friday.
The ABC said yesterday that Mr Simpson was in Singapore to ensure appropriate legal representation was in place."The ABC's director of news, John Cameron, will be in Singapore early this week and is hoping to be able to speak directly to Peter," it said. "The ABC has not yet had any direct contact with Peter Lloyd since his arrest in Singapore last week."Lloyd, 41, was arrested last Wednesday. Singapore's Central Narcotics Bureau alleged its officers found 0.8 grams of methamphetamine, an improvised smoking pipe and six syringes in his possession. They said his urine had tested positive for methamphetamines on an instant urine-test machine. If convicted, Lloyd could be jailed for between five and 20 years and given five to 15 strokes of the cane.A spokeswoman for the ABC refused to comment on whether the ABC would assist Lloyd with bail, or if he will stay on the payroll. "No one has actually seen him yet; we don't know what legal representation he's organised or the family has," she said. "It's too early … [there are] no long-term plans at all." …"
A statement from the narcotics bureau said it was the alleged supply of a 0.6-gram packet of methamphetamine on July 9 to a Singaporean that led to Lloyd's arrest.
The ABC spokeswoman dismissed reports that Lloyd's legal team were planning to raise suspicions that the man, Sani Saidi, 31, had implicated Lloyd in the $75 drug deal in exchange for a lesser charge.

    Drug trafficking is a bad habit, and they should be punished.as they said his urine had tested positive for methamphetamines on an instant urine-test machine.It is correct test to find it,if the result is positive he should be punished.
