Singapore to deport Indians

Singapore said it will deport 52 Indians and pursue criminal charges against 28 alleged rioters who actively participated in the country’s worst outbreak of violence in over 40 years, sending a tough message to trouble-makers.

Singapore Home Affairs Minister, Mr. Teo Chee Hean said that, Singapore has taken strong and decisive action to charge and to repatriate those who took part in the riot to send a strong signal that the country will not tolerate actions by anyone which threaten law and order in Singapore. The police said it had completed investigations into the riot on December 8 in Little India where South Asian workers take their Sunday break.
