Serious Myanmar nationals made use of Singapore CC for their own political agenda

Guidelines for foreigners' use of CC halls may be needed

The news report on the arrest of several Myanmar nationals for using Singapore to mobilise support of the Arakan Army is disturbing to say the least (Group of Myanmar nationals deported, more details surface, July 12).
What is more, they also held a gathering at a community club hall here to celebrate an event that led to the promotion of violent acts against a foreign government.
This raises a few questions:

What checks do community club staff do when foreign nationals want to use the club hall for their activities?
Are there measures to ensure that users state clearly the activities to be carried out at the event?
Are any penalties imposed if what is stated is different from what is carried out?



A community club is basically a place for citizen-oriented activities and the fact that Myanmar nationals used it for their political causes in this instance is an abuse of trust.

Foreigners may also rent function rooms in hotels or commercial buildings to propagate their political ideas.
Government agencies should work closely with stakeholders such as building owners to ensure their facilities are rented out for legitimate purposes.
If not, some may unwittingly be accomplices to causes that are damaging to their public image.

Once upon a time, the Bengladesh terrorists working and living in sinkieland did the same recruitment drive covertly. The Burmese were too dumb to do it openly. What is next? The pinoys? Now hongkies not happy with Uncle Xi. Would they do the same in sinkieland to stir up trouble for Uncle Xi?

If paps remain dumb, and think all foreigners are angels, they better think twice.
