Singapore has revoked the permanent residency of a prominent academic after he allegedly used his position to covertly advance the agenda of an unnamed foreign country at Singapore’s expense.

The Ministry of Home Affairs said in a statement on Friday on its website that it revoked entry and re-entry rights for Huang Jing and his wife, Shirley Yang Xiuping, both U.S. citizens.
