JAKARTA. Jakarta Governor Basuki "Ahok" Tjahaja Purnama has asked his supporters to pay attention to regulations and follow all laws, including those imposed by other countries, following an incident in which members of the Teman Ahok (Friends of Ahok) group were denied entry to Singapore. Ahok regretted the incident, in which two Teman Ahok founders - Amalia Ayuningtyas and Richard Saerang - were denied entry to the city-state because of their plans to conduct political activities including raising campaign funds. Singaporean law prohibits foreign political activities in the country. "Don't be so enthusiastic that you violate laws. It will make you stressed," Ahok said on Monday at City Hall.
Supporters must abide by regulations, says Ahok
