Singapore has banned two foreign Islamic preachers from entering the country for preaching “segregationist and divisive teachings” unacceptable in its multi-racial and multi-religious society, the Government said on Monday.
The decision was taken in consultation with the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS), Singapore Tourism Board and Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore.
Ismail Menk, a Zimbabwean and Haslin Baharim, a Malaysian, will not be allowed to enter Singapore, the Ministry of Home Affairs said. The move came after they preached on a religious-themed cruise departing and ending in Singapore from November 25 to 29 last year, Channel News Asia reported.
