Although he had completed his three years' bond working at NUS, he lied to MOE that he had yet to, in order to extend his long-term visit pass.

SINGAPORE: A Malaysian who came to Singapore on a Ministry of Education tuition grant for his undergraduate studies at the National University of Singapore completed his studies and his three-year bond, but wanted to extend his stay.

He was given an employment pass that was terminated on Aug 18, 2017, the day his three-year bond ended. He then claimed that he quit his job in Japan and returned to Malaysia or Singapore to find employment, but discovered that his bond was"yet to be served".He later lied that he had worked as a research assistant with NUS for only two months in early 2018 - even though he had worked for NUS for three years and effectively completed his bond.

After receiving the forged NUS acknowledgement letter, MOE conducted internal checks on Magendran's employment history and realised that he had been given an employment pass with NUS for three years. Because Magendran had already worked in Singapore for three years, MOE discharged him from the bond and informed ICA that MOE would be revoking the original MOE support letter.Magendran had contested the charges, claiming that he had not submitted the forged MOE support letter to ICA, nor the forged NUS acknowledgment letter to MOE.
