SINGAPORE: Two men have been arrested in connection with an attempt to evade clearance at Tuas Checkpoint last weekend while travelling in a Malaysia-registered car, the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) said on Wednesday (Feb 25).
ICA officers detected a car heading towards Tuas Checkpoint’s arrival motorcycle zone at about 2.44pm on Feb 22 before it made an unauthorised U-turn at the entrance and drove back to Malaysia against the flow of traffic.
In a video of the incident circulating on social media, a black car at the entrance of Tuas Checkpoint can be seen reversing and making a sharp turn to exit via a slip road, as an unidentified man tries to pull open its doors. The man then gets into a white SUV and drives after the black car.
“As the vehicle turned back towards Malaysia before it could be intercepted, ICA promptly alerted the Malaysian authorities at the Kompleks Sultan Abu Bakar (KSAB) to keep a lookout,” ICA said.
