Ministers, MPs must declare any foreign links and migration benefits

Singapore

POLITICAL office holders and political parties in Singapore will be subjected to stringent measures to prevent them from being influenced by foreign nations, should a Bill tabled in Parliament on Monday be passed.

Measures that will be imposed include a requirement to declare any foreign affiliations and any migration benefits - such as a foreign passport, an entitlement to work in a foreign country, or to reside there on a permanent basis.
