Singaporean man who allegedly overstayed in Malaysia for 13 years arrested

JOHOR BAHRU: A 34-year-old Singaporean man who allegedly overstayed in Malaysia since 2011 has been detained by the Immigration Department.

Johor Immigration Department director Baharuddin Tahir said in a statement said the Singaporean national was arrested during an inspection at a premise in Jalan Wadihana, Johor Bahru, at 9.30am on Monday.
