China woman drowns while trying to enter Singapore

[TeeKee]

SINGAPORE: An attempt by two China nationals to enter Singapore illegally late Monday night ended in tragedy when one of them drowned.

Police said the two, a 39-year-old man and a woman believed to be between 30 and 35 years old, had engaged a human smuggling syndicate operating in Johor Bahru to smuggle them into Singapore. It is believed each paid the syndicate about S$3,000.

Just before midnight on Monday, the two were sent by a speedboat to the waters off Pulau Ubin. They were about 50 metres away from shore when they were told by the boatman to alight.

The China nationals refused to get off, seeing they were still some distance away from land. It is believed the boatman then pushed the man and kicked the woman off the boat before speeding back to Johor Bahru.

The man, who managed to swim to shore, was later arrested by the Police Coast Guard.

The woman drowned. Her body was later recovered from the waters off Pulau Ubin. No identity documents were found on her.

Police said she was about 1.65m tall, of medium build and had long hair and a fair complexion. She was wearing a pair of black jackets and jeans.

The man will be charged in court on Wednesday. If convicted, he could be jailed up to six months, given at least three strokes of the cane and be fined up to S$6,000.

She was wearing two black jackets? Does reporting on China nationals mean they must also write like them?

Singapore is like a honey pot for these PRCs; can;t rationalised why so many PRCs just flock to this red dot to work when most locals just can't survive or bearly.

Just observe any where you go, you will have the general feel that 4 out of 10 will be a PRC. Just look at the HDB cleaners, 10 years back , usually it will be a Bangla or a thambi. Now I have a Ah Tiong cleaner the areas and he is middle age.

Singapore's PAP is trying to kill Singapore's will to fight by letting the floodgates for cheap labour which no singkies want to do !

 

[angry_one]

Tragedy? Why is it a tragedy? It's laughable to me.

 

[limpeh2]

Wah, very poor customer service. I don't think there'll be repeat business from that PRC.

what the smuggler so boh standard one har.. take money already still never do the job well...

 

[hillary888]

Seriously, Singapore authorities should work closely with the Malaysian counterparts to prevent more of such illegal activities.

 

[ChaoPappyPoodle]

Looks like WKS and his merrymen, the coastguard this time, scared of water and wait for the swimmer to reach shore before arresting him.

I thought coast guard patrol the waters?

If the coast guard patrol the waters then how come they never give chase to the boat,that brought the illegal alieans here?

As usual it is likely a case of see no evil hear no evil until it is convenient.

KKNCCB! I'll bet my last dollar that the coast guard fellows were on the take which same like a lot of anti vice and immigration officers that kenna caught. But there are more that are not caught.

Inverse deviation, upon receiving payment completion of job diminishes

Are we expecting smugglers to have ethics ?

Look at these web sites and you will know why so many PRC women would want to come to Singapore, either legal or illegal

They are really stupid. So many ppl from China have came into Singapore legally. Most of them can't speak English to save their lives, are rude, obnoxious and lack necessary skills.
