The woman was entering Singapore by car, the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority said in a Facebook post on Saturday. “Officers had profiled the Malaysia-registered vehicle for thorough checks and uncovered stacks of currencies wrapped in a pink plastic bag, placed inside the vehicle’s centre console,” it said.Under the law, travellers entering or leaving Singapore carrying physical currency and bearer negotiable instruments – such as a cheque or bearer form – exceeding $20,000, or its equivalent in a foreign currency, are required to submit a report to the police.
“This reporting requirement is part of the efforts to combat international money laundering and terrorism financing,” ICA said.
