SINGAPORE: A 31-year-old driver and a 39-year-old Chinese national have been arrested for immigration offences.

A statement by the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) said its officers at the Woodlands Checkpoint directed a departing Malaysia-registered car for a thorough check on Saturday.

The Malaysian driver appeared nervous and he was asked to step out of the car as ICA officers examined his vehicle. When the car boot was opened, officers found a man crouching inside.

Under the Immigration Act (Cap 133), the penalties for overstaying or illegal entry are a jail term of up to six months plus a minimum of three strokes of the cane, while the penalties for illegal departure is a fine of up to S$2,000, a jail term of up to six months, or both.
