SINGAPORE - The passport of a Singaporean man has been cancelled for flouting stay-home notice rules, in the first such action taken by authorities against a citizen.

But he went back to Indonesia that same day, despite the stay-home notice and warnings from ICA officers that he would breach the notice and could face penalties. ICA said Mr Goh displayed"irresponsible conduct" for not complying with the first SHN and then returning to Singapore on Tuesday. He is the first citizen that ICA has taken such action against. Last month, a 45-year-old permanent resident was barred from re-entering Singapore and lost his residency after breaching stay-home rules.

If Lee Kuan Yew was alive today, he'd test everyone who works in the economy. Because just like being on a ship.. Singapore is a workforce who works in one of the highest densities in the world. One person contaminates all. Thats a Pandemic. Social distancing is imperative.

He has succumbed to his temptation

You mean it isnt all the fault of foreigners?

Does it mean that the man is stateless now? If that's the case, i think he is really really really really stupid to lose Singapore Citizenship because of the SHN. I don't understand what's the big deal of staying at home for 14 days? Is it so hard to stay at home for 14 days?

The man wants to be famous and he got what he deserves. He is extremely famous now.

I totally support.

Well done by the government!

👍👍👍👍

Lol want lau lan but wrong country

How brilliant!!!

Why not just ban non essential travel if not all.

The arsehole asked for it! Belligerent.

Article doesn't state the purpose of his trip. Regardless, it's quite irresponsible to endanger himself and other people by flouting the SH rules.

One way ticket...one way ticket...to the can...

This is why I love Singapore. They have rules and implement it. ❤

Such irresponsible and selfish.

Not sure if it is able to tag those who are issued with SHN, so when any entry or exit Singapore alert to immigration? Ones always like to learn from one and other, HK issues electronic Wrist band, it is a good identification, others can help to observe any violation?

Should not have been allowed to leave for Indonesia again in the first place

What... dammit... I need to change my name now.

Spare the rod and spoil the *child*. Delinquents need to be punished.

Irresponsible behaviour from individual SG Government is trying to protect residents and you have selfish idiots like this possibly infecting people. SHN Singapore should be commended on its policing and approach to Covid19 just look at what is happening in UnitedKingdom

Totally deserves it

Good move.. Fine him a lot and jail him for years..! If he has cpf, give those to the healthcare frontline workers.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

UK pay attention, this is how you deal with feral citizens

👏🏼

Not being any sympathetic because such actions endanger more lives. He deserves it.

This is the type of people that deserve to get the virus and die

Just fyi, to continue the headline.. After he was served the stay-home notice, Goh decided to return to Indonesia on the same day, despite ICA officers warning him that he would breach the stay-home notice requirements and could face penalties.
