SINGAPORE – A man hid a knife with an 11cm blade inside his shoe, as requested by a friend, before attempting to board an Indonesia-bound flight at Changi Airport.
On Oct 6, Syaifudin Alfitroh, 32, was sentenced to 10 months’ jail and six strokes of the cane after pleading guilty to possession of an offensive weapon.
The Indonesian national worked as a sea crew member on board vessels in the Indian Ocean, said Deputy Public Prosecutor Ng Jun Kai.
In March 2026, Syaifudin met a man named Ahmad aboard one such vessel.
Ahmad handed him a knife wrapped in plastic and instructed him to hide it in his shoe before Syaifudin departed for Jakarta, Indonesia.
Court documents did not specify Ahmad’s motive or why Syaifudin agreed to do so.
