ICA refuse to grant entry to you Vietnam/Thai/Myanmar/Indo/Pinay etc. Girlfriend?

[TheUnforgiven]

Hi all,

have been seeing a lot of complaints from people that fucknut ICA officers like to exact their prejudice on single South East Asian women who are looking to enter into Singapore by refusing entry at the checkpoints, often WITHOUT any reason.

Although the reason behind this is to control influx of prostitutes to enter our shores for purposes of solicitation, I have heard of stories where they are just being singled out for being from these SEA countries, and have been refused entry without any proper justification and reason given.

Often, these cheebye arrogant and rude ICA officers would claim that they are not obliged to provide the reason for refusal to grant entry. Let me set the record straight once and for all.

Under a particular Statute:

"Where the Controller refuses to allow any person to enter Singapore on the ground that the person is a prohibited immigrant, the Controller shall, if so requested by the person, inform him of the class of prohibited immigrants of which, in the opinion of the Controller, he is a member."

Now knock yourselves out. As you know this is Singapore and our friendly neighbourhood civil servants probably couldn't give a fuck even if you quote this to them. Good luck, just thought I should share.

There are too many foreigners in Singapore. The more they keep out the better.

This subject was discussed during the Budget 2012 and 2013, which is a good measure to tighten the inflow of foreigners.

[hamsapkwai]

agree!!! they should keep out all the foreign guys and let in only the young , pretty and sexy foreign women

[maxsee]

Sure not an easy job for ICA....keep them out people complain....don't keep them out people also complain.....

I am not sure about the that. But the stories I heard are totally different...

All my foreigner colleagues were having no problem bringing their girlfriends, fiancee, and wives to this country. But according to many ML and FL who I know, many of their sisters were blocked right at the airport and were sent back.

ALL foreigners should be kept out. Singaporeans are constantly complaining about the overcrowding, the long queues, the lack of hospital beds and the theft of jobs by foreigners.

The last thing we need is more foreigners arriving for the long term.

Boss, we are lacking of foreigners who are good quality ML and FL. So, more of these for short term visit is good. Ha ha

Short term is fine. They come for a couple of weeks... spread their legs for singaporeans to enjoy, earn some money and then fuck off.

The problems arise when they become long term residents.

I was prompted to write my earlier post because I saw an European foreigner in some visa/immigration related forum (can't remember which) complaining that his Vietnamese girlfriend was denied entry and unceremoniously deported without any reason given, despite her never been to Singapore nor committing any immigration offence.

It was just very distasteful the incident was handled and I have heard of some stories from other friends with foreign wives (usually SEA) the kind of attitudes that were shown to them by the ICA officers.

It is fine and completely within their rights if they want to refuse entry, but my point is, they are obliged to reveal the reason BY LAW. This is often not the case and not challenged when ICA officers ignore the request for a reason of refusal to grant entry.

ICA personnel manning the checkpoints are not lawyers so they dun give a fuck about your statutes...... they just do as instructed.

You should go to speakers corner and raise the matter or get the opposition MPs to bring this matter up in Parliament.

KPKB here is not going to make any difference or bring about changes.

Btw, I heard one of the WP MPs is going to lose his Parliament seat soon..... bankruptcy proceedings against him.

[bigbadbear]

Sorry, but I fail to see where in the law it states that reasons for not being able to land are to be given. By the legislature quoted, all that immigration has to do is to inform the person as to class of prohibited immigrant they believe the potential entrant to be...

Note all one can get, in law, is a classification, there is nothing there that compels the authorities to state the basis of their classification or beliefs.

I'm not here to KPKB. I just want to share a statute that I read, that's all. Did you read my post properly?

And btw, statutes exist for a reason. When civil servants choose to interpret or contravene the laws of a country as they please, it is plain abuse of power.

I am not paid to nor am I interested to go into politics or raise issues in a futile attempt in a police state. This is a forum, and last I checked it was meant for sharing of information and/or discussion among other purposes.

Just like how you suggest I go to the speakers corner and raise the matter, I would ask you to go wank to some gay porn if you feel so frustrated in life you need to issue me a curt reply to me for a post that is merely meant for discussion/informational purposes.
