Malaysian protesters set to lose Singapore work permits

Aside from the workers, two Malaysians also lost their social visit passes to the city state, according to The Straits Times today.
The group were part of 21 Malaysians who had gathered at the park on Saturday to express their dissatisfaction with the results from Election 2013.
According to the Singapore paper, the group was expressly warned by police against assembling and were detained after pressing ahead.
“Singapore does not take sides in the politics of other countries, and will work with whoever forms the government there,” said the republic’s law enforcement agency in a statement.
“Foreigners living or working in Singapore must abide by Singapore laws, and should not import the issues or politics of their countries of origin to Singapore.”
Prior to Saturday’s events, Singaporean police had cautioned participants of a previous rally last Wednesday that their actions were illegal by the republic’s laws.
All eight men and 13 women were later released. Aside from their ages of between 21 and 40 years, no additional details have been made available.
According to the newspaper, DAP MP for Kulai Teo Nie Ching revealed that seven of the arrestees have since approached her for legal counsel.
