A Singapore boat captain arrested for illegal fishing in Indonesia was released on Tuesday (Aug 29) after being held in the country for some 16 months.
Mr Shoo Chiau Huat has been released from house-arrest in Tanjung Pinang, and is free to return home to Singapore, said local immigration authorities.
The latest development was confirmed by Mr Shoo’s daughter and friends. “I’m glad that he is coming back,” said his 28-year-old daughter Michelle, a human resource practitioner. “My mum and the rest of my family are relieved.”
