The Ministry of Home Affairs in Singapore has ordered Iranian national Parvane Heidaridehkordi, associated with a shady travel agency linked to terror suspects, to leave by February 17. Her Malaysian husband, Soo Thean Ling, declared a prohibited immigrant, will also be deported. The agency has been deregistered.

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) in Singapore has issued a removal order for Parvane Heidaridehkordi, an Iranian national involved in a travel agency accused of aiding terror-linked individuals. She must leave the country by February 17, following the cancellation of her long-term visit pass.

Furthermore, Parvane's Malaysian husband, Soo Thean Ling, has been declared a prohibited immigrant due to familial ties. Soo, who holds Singapore permanent residency, is currently outside the city-state. Investigation revealed no further terrorism involvement linked to the couple.

The MHA previously identified the travel agency as a front for foreign-directed activities. Although the agency is now deregistered, authorities have provided limited details, citing operational reasons. Singapore continues to crack down on radicalized elements influenced by international conflicts.
