SINGAPORE: Two men have been arrested by the Police Coast Guard (PCG) for attempting to leave Singapore illegally by swimming across the Straits of Johor to Malaysia on Friday (Feb 5).
The Coast Guard was informed by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) at 1.25am that two men were seen loitering suspiciously along the shore of Woodlands Waterfront, the Singapore Police Force said in a news release.
