(1)
Every person, not being a citizen of Singapore or an exempted person, lawfully banished, deported or expelled from Singapore or from Malaysia or from any territory comprised in Malaysia under any law in force at the date of such banishment, deportation or expulsion in Singapore or Malaysia or any territory comprised in Malaysia is hereby prohibited from entering or residing in Singapore so long as the term for which he was banished, deported or expelled has not expired or the banishment, deportation or expulsion order has not been cancelled or revoked, and whether or not the order has been executed:Provided that the Minister may in his discretion exempt any person banished, deported or expelled from Singapore or from Malaysia or from any territory comprised in Malaysia from the prohibition contained in this subsection.
(2)
Any person entering or residing in any part of Singapore in contravention of the prohibition contained in subsection (1) shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable —
if the term for which that person was banished, deported or expelled was less than 5 years, to imprisonment for a term equal to the term of such banishment, deportation or expulsion;
if the term for which that person was banished, deported or expelled was for life or for 5 years or more, to imprisonment for a term of 5 years;
if that person has previously been convicted under the provisions of this Act or of any law in force relating to banishment, deportation or expulsion in Malaysia or any territory comprised in Malaysia of unlawfully entering or residing in Singapore or in Malaysia or in any territory comprised in Malaysia, as the case may be, after having been lawfully banished, deported or expelled from Singapore or from Malaysia or from any territory comprised in Malaysia, to imprisonment for a term of 15 years.
(3)
Notwithstanding the fact that a prosecution is pending against any person under this section, the Minister may make a banishment order against the person in accordance with the provisions of this Act and thereupon the court shall order that person to be discharged not amounting to an acquittal from the charge under this section in order to enable the banishment order to be executed.
(4)
If at the expiration of any sentence passed on any person under this section, the term for which the person has been banished, deported or expelled has not expired, that person shall, unless the Minister otherwise orders, be removed from Singapore, and section 6(3) and (4) shall mutatis mutandis apply to that person as if a banishment order had been made in his case under section 5.
