Singapore's
Ministry of Home Affairs warned political activists from Myanmar not to ignore repeated police orders to stop illegal public protests and
anti-Myanmar activities, the The Strait Times newspaper said Saturday.
A spokesman of the Overseas Burmese Patriots (OBP), a group of Myanmar
activists, said the Singapore government has not renewed immigration passes for
five of its members that had participated in a public protest in November.
"We do have suspicion that the rationale for the rejections might be

An ministry spokesperson said "the right of a foreign
national to work or stay in Singapore is not a matter of entitlement or a right
to be secured by political demand and public pressure" and that activists
repeatedly ignored requests from government officials to meet to discuss the
group's conduct, dpa reported.
