Ken, as your friend's overstaying situation is serious, he would probably receive a fine of RMB 10,000 yuan in total, or be detained for not less than five days but not more than 15 days. I think he should first go to the Singaporean embassy in China and apply for a new passport or identity certificate. Then go to the local police and pay the fines. Then the police may send him back. After reaching Singapore, it's likely that he will be charged, but whether this will happen depends on the law of Singapore and your friend's reason for overstaying.
