- Singapore police officer Ahmad Aidil Jumari received six weeks’ jail for work permit fraud.
- The officer accepted five thousand dollars to sponsor a Myanmar national who never worked for him.
- Internal disciplinary proceedings for dismissal from the force have commenced following his July 2026 sentencing.
Ahmad Aidil Jumari, a Singapore police officer, received six weeks’ jail on July 13 after admitting he helped submit a false work permit application for a Myanmar national who was never meant to work at his home. The officer used his Singpass to declare that Nwe Zar Win would work as a domestic helper at his Senja Road flat.
The 38-year-old said he joined the scheme to raise money for his upcoming wedding. He received S$5,000, paid by Win’s sister as a recruitment fee to secure the paper sponsorship.
The arrangement generated a work pass, not a genuine job. Win never lived at the Senja Road flat or performed domestic duties there.
Ahmad was a serving Singapore Police Force officer. When he was initially charged in 2025, he held the rank of Police Sergeant.
The application moved through the government portal in four weeks
Ahmad submitted the application through the Ministry of Manpower portal on June 15, 2023, using his Singpass. MOM approved it on June 19.
Win received the work pass on July 21, 2023. It remained valid until September 2024.
The conspirators agreed to divide the S$300 monthly levy. Win would pay S$150, while Ahmad would cover the remaining S$150.
MOM prosecutor Nur Shahirah Nassir told the court that Ahmad did not plan to employ Win. He knew she would find work independently and did not know where she lived in Singapore.
“He only knew she would source her own employment and was unaware of her residence in Singapore. [He had no knowledge of Nwe Zar Win's] actual employment or earnings after the work pass approval.”
Win instead worked as a freelance part-time cleaner at various households between December 2023 and September 2024.
The scheme brought together five people
Ahmad acted with Marnani Limat, his then-fiancée, and Kalsom Bee Hassan, Limat’s aunt. Hassan had experience in the employment agency industry and helped arrange the connection with Win.
Win’s sister paid the S$5,000. The money went to the conspirators, and Ahmad reportedly received the full amount.
The court dealt with Limat and Hassan for their roles in the conspiracy. Win faced separate charges under the Employment of Foreign Manpower Act for working without a valid work pass and was prosecuted.
Ahmad was formally charged on October 2, 2025. His sentence followed on July 13, 2026.
Police removed Ahmad from frontline duties
The Singapore Police Force took Ahmad off frontline duties after the Ministry of Manpower investigation became known. It redeployed him to an administrative role.
After his conviction, the force began internal disciplinary proceedings. Such proceedings typically result in dismissal from the force.
A police spokesperson said officers must meet the force’s standards even when they are outside their ordinary duties.
“Officers of the Singapore Police Force (SPF) are expected to uphold the law and maintain the highest standards of conduct and integrity. We deal sternly with officers who break the law, including charging them in court. SPF will commence internal action against [Ahmad].”
The case involved a false statement in an employment authorization application, an offense under the Employment of Foreign Manpower Act. The application represented that Win would be employed at Ahmad’s residence, although the parties arranged an on-paper sponsorship instead.
