This mission plaque of the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority of Singapore (ICA) belonged to Mr Swaminathan Stephens Rahjan. Mr Swaminathan was born in Singapore in 1952. He was the third generation of a family who had come from India. Soon after he completed his National Sservice, he started work at what was then the Customs and Excise Department (CED), which merged with the Singapore Immigration and Registration (SIR) in 2003 to form what is known as the ICA today. Mr Swaminathan started out as a customs officer before becoming an immigration officer after ICA was formed. His career with the CED and ICA spanned a total of 40 years. He was stationed at the Woodlands checkpoint before moving to the Tuas checkpoint.
