The police arrested two female students, aged 19 and 16, for misusing their boarding passes at the transit area of Changi Airport on 30 April 2017.
Preliminary investigations revealed that they had bought the air tickets to meet their idol, a Korean hip hop artist, and had no intention to depart Singapore.
Since January 2017, the police said that they have arrested 36 people for misusing the boarding pass.
In its post, the police reminded all passengers that the transit areas of Changi Airport are gazetted as Protected Places and passengers who enter the transit areas with a boarding pass should only be there for the purpose of travelling to their next destinations.
They stressed that those who misuse their boarding pass to enter into the transit areas, with no intention to proceed to their next destinations, are liable for an offence under the Protected Areas and Protected Places Act. The offender may be prosecuted in court and shall be liable on conviction to a fine of $1,000 or to imprisonment for a term of 2 years or to both.

新加坡首次透过Zoom视讯判死刑 引起国际注意

疫情当前,最高法院首次透过远距视讯会议方式,审理主要案件。法院日前透过Zoom 视讯平台,宣判一名涉毒品交易的马来西亚男子死刑。相信这也是首次以远距方式宣判死刑。 目前,我国累计确诊已超过2万9千例。阻断措施到6月1日才结束。目前法院暂缓许多案件审理,必要案件则透过上述这种远距方式审案。 上述马国男子名为普尼坦(Punithan Genasan译音),37岁,是在上周五(15日)接到上述判决。男子目前仍考虑提出上诉。 普尼坦律师并不反对这种视讯判决做法,这是因为他们仅获知判决结果,无需进行辩论。 新加坡最高法院发言人,则告知路透社,为确保参与司法程序人士的安全,故此透过视讯进行开庭。 而人权观察组织亚洲副主任罗伯逊则斥责,这种远距科技宣判死刑的方式,更显得不人道。该组织过去长期抨击我国死刑政策。
