The accused had issued the permits even though he knew the workers did not pass the requisite theory and practical tests.

An ADP allows the permit holder to drive selected vehicles on any part of an airside except for taxiways and runways. An airside is the part of an airport terminal beyond passport and customs control, including places such as hangars and cargo loading areas.

Premkumar also modified data in a CAG computer platform called the Apron Permit Issuance and Enforcement System to falsify the workers’ profiles and show that they had purportedly passed their theory and practical tests. The prosecution said: “By committing these offences, the accused unleashed at least 42 untrained and unlicensed drivers on Changi Airport’s airside. The inherent danger these untrained drivers posed to human safety and property on the airside is exponential.”

Noordin also told Premkumar that the drivers have to obtain their ADPs quickly in order to start work soon.
