Chinese National Charged for Allegedly Offering Bribes to Multiple Individuals at Changi Airport

On 5 November 2026, Zhang Yanxiong (“Zhang”) (张雁雄, 32-year-old male Chinese National) was charged in Court for allegedly offering bribes to multiple individuals.

2. On 29 September 2026, in Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 1, Zhang allegedly offered bribes on six separate occasions to eight individuals as follows:

a) At least S$100 bribe to Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (“ICA”) Inspectors Muhammad Irfan Bin Mohd Margono, Neo Yi Ting Beryl and Teo Xin Xin Kezenn;

b) S$150 bribe to ICA Inspectors Neo Yi Ting Beryl and Teo Xin Xin Kezenn on a separate occasion;

c) S$150 bribe to ICA Staff Sergeant Muhammad Muhsan Bin Mohd Razali and ICA Sergeant Achmad Susanto Bin Noor Mohammad;

d) S$150 bribe to ICA Sergeant Nurman Bin Abdul Rahman;

e) S$150 bribe to Certis Aviation Security Officer Yeo Lak Chye; and

f) At least S$100 bribe to a Customer Service Officer Chua Siu Min from APBA TG Human Resource Pte Ltd.

3. Zhang allegedly offered these bribes as an inducement to influence the immigration clearance process to allow him to gain entry into Singapore. The eight individuals rejected the bribes, and the case was subsequently referred to the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (“CPIB”). For his alleged actions, Zhang faces six charges punishable under Section 6(b) of the Prevention of Corruption Act 1960 (“PCA”).

4. Singapore adopts a strict zero-tolerance approach towards corruption. Any person convicted of a corruption offence under Section 6 of the PCA can be fined up to S$100,000 or sentenced to imprisonment not exceeding five years or to both.
