A 40-year-old man was arrested last Friday after he was found trying to leave Singapore illegally by hiding beneath a pile of cardboard boxes in a lorry.
The Malaysian driver, 39, and his co-driver, 33, were also arrested.
At about 12pm that day, officers from the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority at the Woodlands Checkpoint directed a departing Malaysia-registered lorry for routine checks, and made the discovery.
The trio are currently under investigation for immigration offences. The vehicle used in the offences has been detained.
