A Bangladesh national was sentenced to 12 months’ jail on Tuesday (May 5) for employing a fellow countryman who had overstayed in Singapore.
Jahangir Mohammed, a work pass holder, had failed to duly verify the immigration status of Talukdar Md Pabel, before hiring him, the Immigrations and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) said on Tuesday.
Pabel, 26, had been in Singapore on a special pass, which expired on Jan 18, 2021. Three months later, he was arrested by ICA for overstaying.
Investigations found that he had approached Jahangir for a job, and worked for his company Maa Trading as a rice packer from November to December 2020.
