SINGAPORE: A Bangladeshi suspected of overstaying in Singapore and a man who tried to smuggle him out of the country were arrested at 2.30am Friday.

Preliminary investigations showed the 28-year-old Malaysian driver was promised S$1,500 to bring the immigration offender out of the country.

The 33-year-old Bangladeshi, who attempted to depart Singapore illegally, revealed he had come to work in Singapore sometime in May 2002 and had overstayed to seek illegal employment.

According to him, the driver had driven to a deserted area in Woodlands and instructed him to crouch on the rear floorboard of the vehicle before proceeding to the checkpoint.

At the checkpoint, immigration officers noticed the Malaysian was uneasy and ordered checks, which revealed the hidden passenger.

Both the driver and immigration offender are currently under investigation.
