(TODAY photo)SINGAPORE: A technician used his pass to illegally enter a transit area close to 50 times within Changi airport, all to buy duty-free items with his employee discount. The court heard that Wang entered the departure transit area of Changi airport’s Terminal 2 on 48 occasions over about eight months, between March 28 and Nov 20 last year. He used the pass — which also gave him a 10 % discount for purchases at the airport — to buy cosmetics, bags and food from the transit area. On some of the occasions when he entered the transit area, he said he only took photographs and compared prices. For each charge under the Protected Areas and Protected Places Act, Wang could have been jailed up to two years and fined up to S$1,000.
