Tan Khi Wie, 58, had attempted to clear immigration using an Indonesian passport under the false identity of “Ken Srona”. In a joint statement on Aug 11, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) and the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) said ICA officers conducted further checks on him after he was unable to complete immigration clearance at the automated lanes. ICA said it has strengthened its immigration clearance processes and systems by leveraging biometrics and data analytics. ICA officers also detected 223 cases of travellers using multiple identities in 2025, compared with 233 cases in 2024.
