A 45 year-old Chinese man lost his Singapore permanent resident (PR) status for breaching the requirements of a Stay-Home Notice (SHN) after attempting to leave the country.

As the man had travelled to China in the past 14 days, he was asked to serve the notice last Thursday (20 Feb) and was briefed on the SHN requirements, said the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) earlier today (26 Feb).

However, the man did not respond to phone calls and was not at home when ICA officers conducted enforcement checks in the days after his return to Singapore.

According to ICA, the man was spotted trying to leave Singapore 23 February.

He insisted on leaving despite being warned that he had breached the notice requirements, said a spokesperson from ICA.

Due to the breaching of notice requirements, the man’s application for renewal re-entry permit has been rejected by ICA, which allows his PR status to be retained while outside of Singapore, though he will be barred from re-entering Singapore.

“The Government will continue to conduct regular random checks through house visits and phone calls to ensure compliance with the Stay-Home Notice, so that the well-being of the community is not put at risk,” noted ICA.

ICA stated that Singapore PR who fails to comply with the SHNs, he or she may be prosecuted under Section 21A of the Infectious Diseases Act and re-entry permit or passes may be revoked.

【选举】专家预测行动党得票破七成 贝理安冀选民正视权力制衡

工人党阿裕尼集选区准候选人贝理安,在昨日分享《联合晚报》剪报。有关誌期本月24日的报导,指专家预测执政党在此次选举得票率,有望破七成,甚至于能突破75巴仙。 报导提及每逢危机的不确定笼罩,执政党得票率都超高;再者疫情下第四代领导班子的曝光率也较高。新加坡管理学院全球教育兼职讲师陈添金博士称,人们在危机中担心生计,会希望执政团队强力领导。 而贝理安估计,即使是很弱的候选人,只要跟随曝光率高的行动党部长都能在集选区获胜。他也指出,2001年美国发生911空袭事件不久后,我国也召开选举,行动党得票75.3巴仙。当时反对党中只有刘程强和詹时中党选,得票率仅超过50巴仙。 贝理安称,行动党决定选举时机。但是在野党可以掌控的,就是在国会中的斗争,包括提出关乎人民的课题、替代方案以及接触选民的基层工作,这都是工人党在选举前就致力的工作。 然而,贝理安也希望,珍视权力制衡、对政府问责和多元意见,且认为强大反对党有利国家的新加坡人,能在此次选举扮演他们的角色,确保这些价值观能融入国家的氛围。
