Section 6

Subject to the provisions of this Act, a banishment order may be carried into execution at any time after the expiration of 14 days from the date of service of a copy thereof under section 5(3), upon the issue by the Minister of a warrant of execution which shall be in accordance with Form 3 in the Schedule and shall be signed by the Minister.

Upon receiving the warrant of execution of a banishment order made against any person, the officer in charge of the prison in which the person is confined shall inform that person of the period for which he is banished and warn him that he is forbidden by law to return to Singapore or to enter or reside in Singapore, except as specially provided in the banishment order.

As soon as possible after receiving the warrant of execution of a banishment order against any person, the officer in charge of the prison in which the person is confined or some prison officer appointed by that officer in that behalf shall hand the person ordered to be banished to a police officer not below the rank of sergeant appointed by the Commissioner of Police to receive him, and that person shall thereupon be conveyed in the custody of that or some other police officer not below the rank of sergeant on board a ship or such other means of transport as may be expedient for conveyance to the country of which he is a citizen or to such other place as may be stated in the warrant.

Any banished person who is in the custody of a police officer under subsection (3) may be received into and detained in any prison or other suitable place in Singapore until he can be placed on board a ship or other means of transport in accordance with that subsection.
