SINGAPORE: Civil society group Workfair Singapore has asked the Law Ministry to clarify why the Indian nationals who had their charges dropped for alleged rioting were eventually deported.
On December 20, four more Indian nationals involved in the Little India riot were sent home.
This took the total number of workers deported over the December 8 incident to 57.
The police had said even though charges against the four were dropped, their involvement in the mayhem was deemed serious enough for repatriation.
Three other Indian nationals, who had charges against them dropped as well on December 17, were issued with advisories.
In a statement to the media on Tuesday, Workfair Singapore argued that if the workers were acquitted, then they must be innocent.
The group added that by giving them a warning also suggested they are not a security threat.

Therefore, Workfair Singapore said the workers do not meet the undesirable test in the Immigration Act Section 8.

The group noted that Section 33 of the Act allows for a ministerial appeal against deportation.

It asked the Law Ministry if an appeal can be applied in this case.

Workfair Singapore said that in deporting them, the Law Ministry claimed it took "firm and quick action" to avoid "additional social and security risks" caused by a "recurrence of an incident".

However, the group said the Ministry has not made clear on what foundation these claims rest, since the seven were acquitted.

Is it necessary for his bodyguard to be so close to him even though he is amongst law enforcers? Those poodles standing behind don't seem to be armed.
Is Pinky feeling insecure?

Ho Ching got apply half day leave or not?

Exactly. this reminds us that our PM hv no sense of security even with his loved one arms away.
PM is lying unless all the constables are promoted or decorated.
Seems that wanting first hand info straight from the horses' mouths showed that he's on lookout
for consistencies.

In this day and age when social media reveals exactly what happened down to the last minute detail, these sorts of bullshit PR exercises don't fool anyone. If anything, they make things worse for the government because the whole world already knows what actually happened.

The poodles were clueless. They didn't exercise restraint. They where never in control of the situation in the first place.

Even when the riot squad arrived hours later, they did nothing but watch from afar while the rioting fizzled out "spontaneously" just as it had started.

60.1% of Stupidporeans still buying this shit mah.

Pinky is out of touch with ordinary folks...

Was he ever in touch with the peasants in the first place?

Better for Whore Jinx to be out of the Temasek office lah. The more she is in the office, the more money peasants lose. Gay Loong would prefer to bring his mommy along for these TCSS sessions, but mommy not available anymore, so bring wife. My only problem is that Whore Jinx should be workign day and night to recover the money she lost, not come here and hold the Pinky's hand during TCSS sessions.

What the fuck is he talking abt? The riot is nothing like the past racial riots. It was never started by any racial group within the local Singaporean community. It was rioting by foreigners and no Singaporean was involved. Why hasnt anybody corrected the retard?

So what's there about past racial riots to remind us? There was nothing racial about it. The causes were pent-up rage and anger over simmering grievances of foreign workers with the establishment - FWs fedup over MOM inaction and pro-employers' stance, red tapes, deaf ears of those who could have helped them..

What he should learn is the fucked up loose uncontrolled immigration policy that has fucked up all of us. He shud be the one learning deeply from it.

It is a racial riot because only one ethnic group participated. MOM's policy applies to all groups, and allows all groups to be exploited equally. However, you did not see any Myanmar, Filipinos, PRC, etc. citizens join in this riot. With SMS and mass media now, its very easy for the riots to spread to Lucky Plaza, Chinatown, etc, anywhere where large groups of FW congregate. It didn't, and The fact that it was only confined to Indians says its a racial riot.

Seems like 何晶夫人 likes to tag along wherever he goes: ASEAN meetings, APEC meetings, Chinatown CNY events, China tv show, PAP party events and now even a buffet meal with the poodles.

It will be hilarious if one of his bodyguards does him in.

Yeah, worse than Gecko. Gecko would never show up for this kind of small event. She was too busy running Lee and Lee and ripping of everyone.

Bro, not a racial riot in the traditional sense - Chinese group vs malay group or Chinese vs Indians or Malays vs Indians etc.

It's only Indians rioting ostensibly over the fatal accident of one of its kind, not over some racial issue, but over authority.

How much does she get paid for holding that position

 

[chonburifc]

Little India riot is a reminder to cancerous pinky loong that days are numbered! Sinkees can look forward to a new Singapore after the familLEE is out of power. Only then, sinkees will realise how STUPID they were.

 

[chonburifc]

She doesn't get paid. that's an insult. she takes whatever she wants, whenever she likes.

 

[Scrooball (clone)]

Maybe cancer is good for him too.

How many rounds of rehearsals they have gone through before they meet pinky I do not know. However I am quite sure no one is going to say anything negative (even if truthful) to pinky if they value their career because pinky is clearly only used to hearing the good stuff from his lackeys.
