Man charged with false declaration in stay-home notice
application after movers found in his home




A Singapore permanent resident was charged on ดาวน์โหลด slotxo with making a false
declaration to opt out of serving his stay-home notice at dedicated facilities,
and exposing others to potential risk of infection at his home.

Ko Kyung Ho, 45, arrived in Singapore on Nov 25 last year from South Korea and
was served with a stay-home notice until Dec 9, 2020, said the Immigration and
Checkpoints Authority (ICA).

On his arrival at Changi Airport, Ko declared that he would be occupying his home
alone, or with household members with the same travel history and stay-home
notice duration as him.

When enforcement officers conducted checks at Ko's home on Nov 26, they found
three other household members who did not share the same travel history as him.

According to court documents, the household members were his wife and
two children.

"In addition, there were nine house movers who were not members of his family
or household moving items into his place of residence," said ICA in a news release.

If found guilty of the offences under the Infectious Diseases Act, Ko could be
jailed for up to six months, fined up to S$10,000 or both.

Foreigners may face further administrative actions by ICA or the Manpower
Ministry, such as revoking or shortening of the validity of permits and passes to
remain or work in Singapore.

Travellers entering Singapore from selected places where COVID-19 is under
control are allowed to serve their stay-home notice at their own homes instead
of dedicated facilities.

People who choose this option must not have travelled outside of the selected
places in the 14 days before entering Singapore.

They must occupy their homes alone, or only with household members who share
the same travel history and stay-home notice duration.

They must also wear electronic monitoring devices, and be subjected to random
physical checks to monitor their movements.

ICA reminded members of the public to submit truthful and accurate information
for all health, travel and stay-home notice-related declarations.
