double felony double jeopardy.
- At the time of Yee’s release from prison in November 2016, Yee had for some time defaulted on a medical examination that he was required to take as a pre-enlistee in compulsory National Military Service (“NS”) in Singapore (all male citizens and permanent residents in Singapore must do NS). In November 2016, Yee was again served with an order to report for this medical examination.
- Yee did not comply with the order. In December 2016, Yee left Singapore the day before his reporting date for the medical examination, and sought political asylum in the US. Yee is an NS defaulter. Defaulting on one’s NS obligations is an offence in Singapore.
