The District Court has jailed a Singaporean woman two years for helping three Mainlanders try to board a flight to the US by using forged travel documents.
Tan Bee-hoon, 45, pleaded guilty to a charge of attempting to obtain services by deception.
Mainland woman Lin Xiuhong and two Mainland men, Chen Zhijian and Gao Chaoqin, pleaded guilty to possessing false travel documents and attempting to obtain services by deception. They were jailed for one year.
Last September the three Mainlanders were intercepted by Immigration officers at the airport trying to board a flight to the US. They had used Mainland travel documents for entry into Hong Kong and were trying to use forged Singaporean passports for travel to the US.
Tan was intercepted the same day. The personal particulars shown in her travel document were the same as those in one of the forged Singaporean passports. She admitted that, for monetary reward, she provided her personal particulars to a middleman and agreed to check in for a flight to the US in Singapore. She was instructed to leave the boarding pass somewhere upon her arrival in Hong Kong.
