Ms Carrie Tan asked the Minister for Home Affairs (a) for the last five years, what is the annual number of requests received by the Singapore Police Force for help regarding ex-spouses who are overstaying in matrimonial homes that have been ordered by the Court to be sold; and (b) what is the typical course of action when such requests for help are received.

The Police do not track the number of such requests. The breach of such Court orders, by itself, does not constitute a criminal offence.

When such requests for help are received, Police will assess based on the facts and circumstances of each case. For situations where criminal offences are disclosed, Police will investigate accordingly.
