R u ica officer?
Anyways at any point in time, where do u see policymakers wrong.
Policymakers never wrong.
The Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) is responsible for securing Singapore’s borders against the entry of undesirable people and cargo through land, air and sea checkpoints.
They didn't check on this.
Reference from their website: Short-Term travellers should have sufficient cash and proof of onward travel (tickets, visas), and ensure that you do not stay beyond your visit pass validity. You may retrieve your e-Pass after arrival using the e-Pass Enquiry Portal or check your visit pass validity using the visit pass validity tool.
Meaning. Yes open to PRC.
But ICA can don't allow them to come in.
The fact that these housebreaking team may also possibly be professional workmen. Thus possibly entered through MOM systems.
Or their workpass expired and was not repatriated back to home country

Entry Approval for MOM’s Work Pass Holders
6. Currently, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) has been requiring all new and existing Work Pass holders[2] (including dependants[3]) to obtain MOM’s approval before they commence their journey to Singapore. The entry approval requirement applies to:
a. Existing Work Pass holders currently out of Singapore; and
b. Those who have been granted IPA for a Work Pass, who have yet to enter Singapore.
7. Employers are required to apply for entry approval using this online facility (
https://form.gov.sg/#!/5e3cbabee41f590012014e91). Work Pass holders who arrive in Singapore without a valid entry approval will not be allowed to clear immigration, and will be asked to fly out of Singapore within 48 hours, at their own cost.
8. Work Pass holders whose application for entry approval has been rejected should not enter or return to Singapore yet. They should apply again for the required approval. Those who do not comply and fly to Singapore nevertheless will have their Work Pass revoked and will be barred from future employment in Singapore
Seriously if MOM and ICA don't work together. We are really right pocket full of money but with a hole inside.
