those Acts, as they so applied, extended to Singapore,this Act (except for Parts 5 and 6) applies in relation to that State.

The Minister may by notification in the Gazette direct that this Act (except for Parts 5 and 6) ceases to apply in relation to a foreign State specified in the notification, being a foreign State in relation to which this Act applied by virtue of subsection (1), and, upon the coming into operation of a notification that so provides, this Act (except for Parts 5 and 6) ceases to apply in relation to that State.
