SINGAPORE: Police arrested a 27-year-old Malaysian woman on Monday at the compound of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for criminal trespass.

The woman is also being investigated for evading immigration clearance.

In a joint statement on Tuesday, the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) and the police said the woman has a history of mental illness.

With the assistance of the Malaysian High Commission in Singapore and the Malaysian police, ICA and the police have contacted the woman's next-of-kin in Malaysia, and they are on their way to Singapore to assist with investigations.

The statement said the woman is under police custody, and investigations are on-going.

According to preliminary investigations, the woman entered Singapore in a Malaysian-registered car on January 17 through the Woodlands Checkpoint at about 1.58pm.

She left the checkpoint at 2pm.

The authorities said the woman had managed to leave the checkpoint without being stopped as the officers-in-charge did not immediately raise the alarm.

By the time the alarm was raised two minutes later, the car could not be located despite an immediate lockdown of the arrival car zone.

Three days later, as earlier reported online by Channel NewsAsia, the woman headed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at Sherwood Road, where she apparently tail-gated a car to enter the premises.

ICA and the police said even though there is no immediate threat to public safety, they take this case very seriously as it concerns the security of Singapore's borders.

They will review the incident and take necessary steps to prevent a recurrence. In particular, they will review their security systems and work processes at the checkpoints.

In a statement on Tuesday evening, Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean expressed his dissatisfaction over the security breach as well as the subsequent response actions.

He said there could have been more serious consequences.

Mr Teo, who is also Minister for Home Affairs, said the incident should have been prevented and dealt with more urgently and decisively.

He added that he has directed both the ICA and police to give him a report on the corrective actions taken, as well as the disciplinary actions against officers who have not discharged their duties properly.

Has Mr Teo ever considered that this problem and the recent problems are all a result of poor leadership?

What do you think?

 

[laksaboy]

Wait, she turned up at the MFA HQ? Maybe she's there for a job interview.

I believe a lot of the Home Team immigration officers are also Malaysian. So they only let their own people in.

 

[kingrant]

Just goes to show that one mad woman is any time smarter than all our HomeTeam retards. Might as well hire monkeys.

 

[Kangtangman]

Wait, she turned up at the MFA HQ? Maybe she's there for a job interview.

The question is if she is mentally sick how is it that she can tailgate another vehicle to try entering into MFA HQ? Why not other building?

 

[McDonaldsKid]

When I saw the news I thought it was a wife who suspected her husband of cheating and followed him to work.

 

[bakkuttay]

Just goes to show that one mad woman is any time smarter than all our HomeTeam retards. Might as well hire monkeys.

Don’t insult Ah Meng, ok

 

[kingrant]

That reminds me, bro, that she is now smarter than even our MFA guards.

The question is if she is mentally sick how is it that she can tailgate another vehicle to try entering into MFA HQ? Why not other building?

 

[blackmore]

The question is if she is mentally sick how is it that she can tailgate another vehicle to try entering into MFA HQ? Why not other building?

Mentally sick doesn't mean that she is not in control of what she is doing or determined to achieve her main objective. There many ways to term an individual as crazy or mental. The question is to what extremity . I suspect there must be something they are not telling and declaring mental issue is a cover all excuse.

 

[palden]

Imagine if a mad woman can enter Singapore, what about terrorists?

If she is sane, they wouldn't have caught her.
