Hefty penalty for losing old IC
I WAS recently involved in an identity card (IC) re-registration exercise. Unfortunately, my wallet, which contained my old IC, was stolen while my new one was being processed.
So instead of paying the original $10, I was told to pay $60 because I could not produce my old IC, even though I had a police report to back up my explanation.
Why does the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority have to levy this additional fee, since administratively, there is no difference to the process?
