He had used Indonesian passports under the false identity of "Ken Srona" to enter and depart Singapore.
A 58-year-old Singaporean man, Tan Khi Wie, was sentenced to 14 months and three weeks in jail on August 11, 2026. The Singapore Police Force and Immigration and Checkpoints Authority jointly announced the conviction. Tan had previously fled Singapore in 2002 to avoid serving an 18-month sentence for fraud. He entered and left the country illegally on multiple occasions, using false passports and identities.
Tan was arrested in March 2026 at Changi Airport when he attempted to clear immigration with an Indonesian passport under a false name.
