A young New Zealand student arrested in Singapore for allegedly using cannabis has been released without charge, New Zealand officials say.

The student was one of 15 people, aged 13 to 25, arrested for allegedly buying cannabis from a 37-year-old Singapore resident.

The New Zealander had initially been detained, but was released without being charged, a Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade spokeswoman told NZN.

She would not release the person's sex or age.

The alleged dealer was also arrested in the nationwide drug bust, TVNZ reported.

In Singapore, a person found guilty of using or possessing cannabis faces up to 10 years in jail and/or a $S20,000 ($NZ19,815) fine. Anyone trafficking more than 500g of cannabis may be executed.

The other suspects are from Singapore, the United States, Britain, France, India, Indonesia or South Africa, officials say.
