SINGAPORE: Police have arrested a man and a woman for allegedly misusing their boarding passes in Changi Airport's transit area last week. They apparently had no intention to depart Singapore and investigations against them are ongoing. Noting that 15 people have been arrested in connection to offences under the Protected Areas and Protected Places Act since January this year, police also took the opportunity to remind the public that Changi Airport's transit areas are gazetted as Protected Places. "The police would like to remind all passengers who enter the transit hall with a boarding pass should only be there for the purpose of travelling to their next destinations," it said. "Those who abuse their boarding pass to enter the transit areas, with no intention to proceed to their next destination, are liable for an offence under the Protected Areas and Protected Places Act."
