SINGAPORE: Wanting to enter Singapore during the COVID-19 pandemic to be with her Singaporean boyfriend, a Taiwanese woman illegally bought a "freedom work pass" from a syndicate that sold such passes to foreigners.
Although she indicated in her application for a work permit that she would be working as a clerk, she instead worked illegally as a night club hostess.
