SINGAPORE – The Hong Kong restaurant owner who organised an illegal public gathering last month here to discuss the ongoing Hong Kong protests has been given a stern warning by the police, and was repatriated.
Mr Alex Yeung will not be allowed to enter Singapore again without prior permission from the Controller of Immigration, said the police in response to queries from The Straits Times.
Aside from him, a Singaporean real estate businessman has also been warned for facilitating the gathering. Mr Philip Chan, 55, a former Hong Kong resident, owns Kimoto Gastro Bar located at The Sail @ Marina Bay, where the gathering was held on Oct 11 evening. He is the president of the Kowloon club here which helps new immigrants integrate into Singapore society.
The gathering – which ST understands lasted about 30 minutes – was attended by mostly Hong Kongers living here who were asked to share their views on the protests.
In a video of the event, Mr Yeung was seen speaking to at least 10 people. He also led them in a chant in Cantonese: “Support Hong Kong police, protect Hong Kong, justice will win.”
