A MAN hiding in the trunk of a Malaysian-registered car was
discovered by Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) officials
as the car tried to exit Singapore at the Woodlands Checkpoint on
Thursday.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the Malaysian driver
was trying to help the suspected Chinese overstayer get out of the
country.
The 20-year-old driver said he was promised RM500 ($210) if he
ferried the passenger out of Singapore.
The driver's sister who was in the car at the time of the
offence has also been arrested.
All three are currently under investigation for offences under
the Immigration Act.
