Singapore Law and Burmese activist

On August 2, the Singapore government declined to renew visas permits or extensions for Myo Tun , Hlaing Moe and Soe Thi Ha, Burmese activists, for participating in public protests illegally.

The Singapore Immigration and Checkpoint Authorities didn’t give any reason or explanation for rejecting the renewals or extensions of our visas and permits. Burmese,Permanent residents of Singapore, who participated in public protests in November last year are not sure their future.

I was thinking why they did not take action when they demonstrated in November. It is not a gentleman technique. If they break the law, Singapore should take action immediately according to Law. If the Singapore goverment do not want to take action on the activist as they pity on them, they should tell that this (not extending visa) is the softest action goverment has taken .
