A 47-year-old male Indian National will be charged in court on Wednesday (May 13) after making false declarations of his travel history at the Supreme Court.
Had returned from the U.S., but declared he had not been abroad
According to a joint press release from the Singapore Police Force and Immigration & Checkpoints Authority on May 12, the man was present at the Supreme Court (SC) to attend a court trial on March 31 and Apr. 1.
As part of Covid-19 precautionary measures, the Supreme Court requires all visitors to declare their travel history in the past 14 days.
On each of these occasions, the man declared that he had not been abroad in the past 14 days, and was therefore allowed to enter SC.
However, he had arrived in Singapore from U.S. on March 20, 2020.
This meant that he had falsely declared his travel history, as the dates on which he visited SC was within the 14-day period.
The offence of giving any information which a person knows to be false to a public servant is punishable with imprisonment for a term of up to two years, or a fine, or both.
He will be charged two charges of providing false information to a public servant under Section 182 of the Penal Code.
If the man is convicted in court for his offences, he will be deported after serving his sentence and barred from re-entering Singapore.
On Apr. 2, it was reported that a 60-year-old male British National has been issued a stern warning for making a false declaration of his travel history at the Family Justice Courts (FJC).
He was then deported to Hong Kong on Apr. 26, and barred from re-entering Singapore, despite being married to a Singapore Permanent Resident.
