SINGAPORE: A Chinese national will be charged in court on Friday for attempting to enter the Resorts World Sentosa casino using another person's identity.
The man was detained by the casino's security officers at the entrance on Sunday evening and the Police were called in.
The 32-year-old had no valid identification or travel documents on him and was arrested.
Police later found out that the suspect had handed his work permit to his employer for safe-keeping, and borrowed a work permit from his colleague in his attempt to enter the casino.
Investigation against the owner of the work permit is ongoing.
If convicted under the Employment of Foreign Manpower Act, he can be fined up to S$15,000 and jailed up to 12 months.
