Question:

Mr Don Wee: To ask the Minister for Home Affairs whether the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority checks all hand-carried and checked baggage of travellers who arrive via private jets.


Answer:

Mr K Shanmugam, Minister for Home Affairs and Minister for Law:

1. All travellers arriving via private jets are screened, and their hand-carried and check-in baggage may be examined.

2. With advance passenger information, the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority is also able to identify high-risk travellers before their arrival in Singapore, and subject them to even more thorough checks upon arrival.
