SINGAPORE: The police have issued a warning against the importing of politics from other countries into Singapore, after learning of calls encouraging overseas Malaysians to support political activities in the lead-up to Malaysia's upcoming General Election. The calls included those by Global Bersih, a coalition of Malaysian non-governmental organisations seeking to reform the country's electoral system. "Foreigners visiting, working or living in Singapore should not use Singapore as a platform to further their political causes," the police said in a statement on Wednesday (April 4). Foreigners were also reminded to abide by Singapore laws, including those regulating public assemblies. Non-Singaporeans will also not be granted permits for assemblies used for political or electoral campaigns.
