A Palestinian stowaway fell out of the nose wheel of a Singapore Airlines (SIA) aircraft that landed at Changi Airport in Singapore on a flight from Kuala Lumpur.
Osama R.M. Shublaq stunned the ground crew at Changi Airport when he fell out from the wheel well of the aircraft, a Boeing 777-200, shortly after it landed late on Thursday.
It said Shublaq was dizzy from a lack of oxygen after the 55-minute flight, but was otherwise unhurt. Shublaq was detained by Singaporean police and charged with entering the island illegally.
Malaysian Transport Minister Chan Kong Choy expressed dismay at the breach of security at Malaysia's main airport.
"I am very unhappy," Chan was quoted as saying. "Such an incident should not occur, as the airport area has tight security."
The government has ordered an investigation.
