SINGAPORE: A Bangladeshi extremist preacher managed to enter Singapore and deliver an illegal sermon here because he used a passport with a name different from what was in the country's security databases, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said on Wednesday (Aug 21).

MHA said its Internal Security Department was aware of Amir Hamza's background, but "did not have his biometrics at the time of his entry".

The ministry said it is investigating the Bangladeshi national for preaching, without approval, to migrant workers at the Lantana Lodge dormitory in Tuas. It is also probing the organiser of the event on Aug 9 and others involved.

"Amir Hamza's sermon propagated extremist and segregationist teachings that were dangerous, and detrimental to Singapore's communal harmony," said MHA.

MHA said in a press release that the Bangladeshi national had in his Aug 9 sermon called non-Muslims "kafir", which means infidels.

"He also held up alleged Bangladeshi extremists as bastions of religious piety, including several leaders of the Islamist party Jamaat e-Islami, which is banned in Bangladesh, and whose members had been arrested for involvement in alleged terrorist activities," said MHA.

Amir Hamza had also politicised his sermon. He called the previous Bangladeshi government – led by former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina – "oppressors", and claimed that they had sentenced to death people who opposed them.

"He also claimed that victory will come when Bangladesh becomes an 'Islamic country'," said MHA.

Neither Amir Hamza nor the organiser had applied for the necessary approval for him to give a sermon in Singapore, added the ministry.

He left Singapore the next day on Aug 10, and the authorities received police reports on Aug 12.
