SINGAPORE: In order to enter Singapore to look for work, a woman used a fake name and passport.
Using the assumed identity, she married a Singaporean man, who then sponsored her long-term visit passes from 2013 to 2018.
Liu Xueyuan’s offences were discovered when Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) officers found a discrepancy in her travel documents when she tried to leave Singapore on Jan 16.
The Chinese national, 66, was sentenced to three months and six weeks’ jail and fined $1,500 on May 15, after pleading guilty to four charges, including entering Singapore without a valid pass and making false statements in a disembarkation form.
On June 29, her husband, Singaporean Low Han Song, 68, was handed a five-week jail sentence for making false statements in a long-term visit pass application.
Liu had entered Singapore using passports bearing her real name and date of birth in 2005 and 2012.
After she returned to China in 2012, she assumed a new identity and obtained a passport with the name “Yue Yinfang”, to find a job in Singapore.
She was issued a passport with the fake name in November 2012.
