SINGAPORE : Singapore Airlines pilot Ryan Goh's permanent resident status has been revoked, and his entry and re-entry permits cancelled.
This came after the Controller of Immigration said representations made by the pilot did not adequately show why these should not be cancelled.
But he has seven days to appeal to the Home Affairs Minister against this decision.
The pilot was first informed by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) earlier this month that his entry and re-entry permits would be cancelled.
The move to revoke his permanent resident status came after Home Affairs Minister Wong Kan Seng decided the pilot was an "undesirable immigrant".
He was then given seven days to make his representations to the Controller of Immigration against this decision.
Captain Goh had been singled out by Senior Minister Lee Kuan Yew as the person who instigated the ouster of the former leadership of the Singapore Airlines Pilots' Union.
If his final appeal to the Home Affairs Minister fails as well, an ICA spokesperson told Channel NewsAsia the pilot will be given some time to settle his affairs in Singapore before he has to leave. - CNA
