Two Indonesian women who tried to bring more than $35,600 in undeclared foreign currencies into Singapore were stopped by the authorities last Wednesday after getting off a ferry at the Singapore Cruise Centre.
The cash was wrapped in plastic bags and divided into three stacks that were placed into two suitcases and a backpack, said the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority in a Facebook post on Monday. The money was discovered only after an X-ray scan of the baggage prompted ICA officers to conduct a thorough check.Travellers entering or leaving Singapore are required by law to submit a report to the police if they are carrying physical currency and bearer negotiable instruments, such as cheques or bills of exchange, worth more than $20,000, or its equivalent in foreign currency.
This requirement applies whether an individual is carrying the items for themselves or on behalf of someone else. It also applies to those travelling with other people.
