SINGAPORE \u2013 A man was detained and subsequently deported, after he caused a temporary lockdown at Woodlands Checkpoint on June 4.<\/p>\n
The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) said on June 12 in a media reply that an auxiliary police officer had noticed the Pakistani man walking against the flow of traffic at 9.42am near the entrance of the checkpoint\u2019s arrival motorcycle zone.<\/p>\n
The man claimed he had dropped his cashcard when he was questioned by the officer.<\/p>\n
When the officer tried to look for the man\u2019s motorcycle, the man then turned around and ran back towards Malaysia despite the officer\u2019s instructions for him to stop.<\/p>\n
\u201cICA officers immediately responded to the incident and initiated a lockdown of the checkpoint, as part of our security protocols,\u201d the authority said.<\/p>\n
The man was later arrested and handed over the ICA\u2019s Enforcement Division for investigations, ICA said, adding that the man claimed he had no intentions of entering Singapore.<\/p>\n
The man was given a stern warning for failing to follow officers\u2019 instructions and for resisting them in carrying out their duties. He was also barred from re-entering Singapore.<\/p>\n
Under the Immigration Act, the penalty for resisting or obstructing any immigration officer in the execution of the officer\u2019s duty is a fine of up to $4,000, a jail term of up to 12 months, or both.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
