A dance student at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts was unable to pay his school fees. So the school had the authorities cancel the Vietnamese's Student Pass in 2008.
Dang Nguyen Sinh Nhat, who was 27 at that time, managed to get a Visit Pass that year so he could raise funds for the fees. But he was still unable to do so and his pass expired. However, he did not leave Singapore and instead remained here illegally for more than a decade to work so that he could send money to his family back home, he said.He had remained in Singapore illegally for a total of 10 years, seven months and 22 days.
The court heard that Dang was issued with a Student Pass on May 22, 2006, but it was cancelled about two years later by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority on April 14, 2008, at the request of Nafa.
