Hi,
I have been outside Singapore for the last 8 years ..during this period, i was unable to renew my PR as i was not employed in Singapore (even though i made voluntary CPF contributions from overseas).. i still have a big amount of CPF still in Singapore..
i have an outstanding study loan and i got a notice from the bank (few years ago) asking me to repay the loan amount in bigger installments..i immediately contacted the bank and paid the bigger installments for 2 months until i had some job issues...the address in the bank records is my friends apartment and now he has also left Singapore to the US..so i dont know if there are any further notices from the bank/lawyers..the phone number i got in the 1st notice (few years ago) does not work and i am having a really difficult time contacting the bank offices (with automated hold messages) to get a clear and current status of my outstanding loan..
i dont have plans to relocate to Singapore...but if i transit via Changi, will i be detained? i am doing my best to get in touch with the bank to clear my dues and take back my remaining CPF amount...but this might take sometime...in the meantime, will i be detained (or even arrested) while in transit? i believe my CPF amount is sufficient to cover my outstanding study loan amount..
thanks..
