Answer 1

Singapore banned Jehovah's Witnesses, and continues to do so as of September 2007.

Singapore has joined North Korea, communist China, and a handful of Islamic totalitarian regimes in banning (rather than merely restricting) these peaceful Christians. Even Cuba lifted its ban against Jehovah's Witnesses, but Singapore refuses to do so.

Singaporean Jehovah's Witnesses must use the same strategies as their brothers did in Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia, and thus cannot disclose the locations of their Christian meetings. Like those dictatorial regimes, Singapore prefers military prison for its conscientious objectors, rather than simply compelling some alternate nonmilitary service.

Answer 2

Below is the reason for the ban.

The Government restricts certain religions by application of the Societies Act. In 1982, the Minister for Home Affairs dissolved the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity, also known as the Unification Church. In 1972, the Government deregistered and banned the Singapore Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses on the grounds that its existence was prejudicial to public welfare and order because its members refuse to perform military service (obligatory for all male citizens), salute the flag, or swear oaths of allegiance to the State. At the time, there were approximately 200 Jehovah's Witnesses in the country; now there are approximately 2,000. Although the Court of Appeals in 1996 upheld the rights of members of Jehovah's Witnesses to profess, practice, and propagate their religious belief, and the Government does not arrest members for being believers, the result of deregistration has been to make public meetings of Jehovah's Witnesses illegal.



There is conflict between obeying the JW Doctrine and the use of Conscription by the Singaporean Government.

You will most likely not find an outright posting for services in a JW church as this will cause arrest and detainment of the attendees. There is an estimated 1200 currently detained in Singapore for their involvement as a Jehovas Witness.
