SINGAPORE – A security officer who was on a Home Stay Notice (SHN) repeatedly raped him for continuing work, a court heard on Wednesday (May 13).

The 28-year-old Quresh Singh Sandhu is said to have headed straight to work at Marina Bay Sands after returning to Singapore from Batam on March 17, despite receiving the SHN the same day.

He is one of three Singaporeans accused on Wednesday of violating the SHN.

Quresh is said to have stayed at his company at Dunlop Street the following day, March 18, instead of his declared residence on Sembawang Drive. He then continued to travel to work on public transportation between March 19-21, the Immigration and Control Authority (ICA) said in a statement Wednesday.

This was discovered when police officers visited his Sembawang Drive home on March 21 and found him missing, ICA said.

Quresh Singh said that he intends to plead guilty. He is expected to return to court on May 27.

Another Singaporean, Azhar Khamis, 54, also received an SHN when he returned to Singapore from Batam on March 26.

However, he allegedly spent the night at his sister’s place, rather than his own declared place of residence in Tampines.

He left on March 27 and spent the next few days in public areas on the Harbourfront, the authority said. ICA officers found him at the Singapore Cruise Center on April 5.

Azhar’s defense attorney said he was homeless and requested a postponement of the matter. He will return to court on May 29.

Zahari Samat, 60, is also alleged to have violated his SHN after returning to Singapore from Batam on April 1.

Zahari had headed to a rented place on North Bridge Road, instead of his declared accommodation place in Ang Mo Kio the same day.

He visited the ICA building the following day to inform an officer that he wanted to update the address where he would serve his SHN.

Officers advised him to return to his accommodation on North Bridge Road immediately and told him to stay there at all times for the rest of the SHN.

However, Zahari was caught leaving his accommodation again on April 8 by narcotics officers who were parked in an outdoor parking lot near his place.

Zahari told the court that it was a “silly mistake” and said he intends to plead guilty.

You must return to court on May 27.

Those convicted of a crime under the Infectious Diseases Act and its regulations are subject to a fine of up to $ 10,000, or up to six months in prison, or both.
