SINGAPORE : SIA pilot Ryan Goh has lost his permanent resident status and will have to leave Singapore.
The Home Affairs Minister has just rejected his last ditch appeal.
Captain Goh and his family will be given some time to make the necessary arrangement to leave the country.
SIA pilot Ryan Goh was thrust into the spotlight after Senior Minister Lee Kuan Yew singled him out for manoeuvring behind the scenes to get the previous leaders of the pilots union sacked.
Soon after that his
PR status was revoked.
This was because the authorities deemed Captain Goh an "undesirable" immigrant.
His appeal to the ICA was turned down on 20th March, but he was given a last appeal to the Home Affairs Minister.
But this has also been rejected because there were no fresh grounds to overturn the decision. - CNA
