SINGAPORE: A Bangladeshi national who had previously been arrested by his government for alleged terror links entered Singapore and preached to migrant workers at a dormitory here on Aug 9 without a permit.

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said on Wednesday (Aug 21) that it is investigating the preacher, Amir Hamza (pic), and others involved in the event, including the organiser, and will take strong action if they are found to have breached Singapore’s laws or posed a security concern.
