Woman allegedly punches Stomper’s mum-in-law in car at JB checkpoint, then takes couple’s passports

While her car door was open, the woman allegedly “snatched” two passports belonging to the couple from the dashboard and demanded they follow her to make a police report.

However, the alleged attackers drove off, leaving the couple without their travel documents.

The couple contacted the Singapore police and the Singapore embassy, and subsequently lodged a report with the Malaysian police before returning to Singapore.

The Stomper said her parents-in-law were shocked when ICA later called to say their passports had been reported as “lost and found”.

“This wasn’t ‘lost and found’,” Aisyah told Stomp.

“Their passports were taken from them.”

ICA: Passports were handed in as ‘lost and found’

Responding to a Stomp query, the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) confirmed that on Dec 1, a traveller handed over two Singapore passports to ICA officers at Woodlands Checkpoint.

“Our officers promptly contacted the rightful owners of the passports and, with assistance from our Malaysian counterparts at Bangunan Sultan Iskandar, facilitated the return of the passports,” ICA said. “This enabled the owners to clear immigration and return to Singapore.”

Aisyah told Stomp: “My parents went through fear, shock and helplessness — all because of an unprovoked road-rage incident. No one should have to go through this.”

Stomp has contacted the police for more info.
