JOHOR BARU: An odd-job worker from Singapore who came here in 2000 and overstayed, can finally return home without any fear of being caught by the Immigration authorities there thanks to the MCA.
Chan Keng Mun, 58, came to take care of his sickly father and decided to stay on.
His stepmother lived with his father, who passed away in 2011.
Chan later got into an argument with his stepbrother, who threatened to report him to the Immigration department.
"I was scared of his threats and didn't know what to do," he told a press conference called by former Stulang assemblyman Mok Chek Hou here yesterday.
Chan said he sought MCA's help to sort out his problem with the Singapore authorities, who were reluctant to allow him to re-enter the republic.
It is learned they were afraid Chan would not be able to sustain a living once he returns to the republic.
Mok said he sent several letters to the Immigration department here, which agreed to include Chan in the 6P legalisation and amnesty exercise for illegals.
"Chan was fined RM400 (S$158.46) for overstaying and has finally been allowed to return to Singapore," said Mok, adding that it was quite an extraordinary case and urged foreigners to refrain from taking chances with the law.
