SINGAPORE — Alex Yeung, the Hong Kong restaurateur who organised a public event in Singapore to discuss the protests, has been banned from Singapore.

SINGAPORE — Alex Yeung, the Hong Kong restaurant owner who recently organised a public event in Singapore to discuss the protests in his city-state, has been repatriated and banned from the Republic.

"Singapore has always been clear that foreigners should not advocate their political causes in Singapore, through public assemblies, and other prohibited means," the police told CNA. He had allegedly organised a public gathering on 11 October “for interested persons to share their views on the current protests in Hong Kong".

They had clarified in the post that, contrary to online rumours, Yeung was neither arrested nor in police custody, and was free to go about his activities in Singapore.
