Mr. Teo En Ming's Refugee Seeking Attempts as of 31 Jan 2025

Subject: Mr. Teo En Ming's Refugee Seeking Attempts as of 31 Jan 2025

Good day from Singapore,

My name is Mr. Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming) @ Time Travel=
ler. I am a Singapore Citizen, and was born in Singapore in 1978.

I have attempted to apply for political asylum and refugee status in the fo=
llowing countries.

[01] United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Bangkok, Thailan=
d

I flew from Singapore to Bangkok, Thailand on 21 March 2017. Upon arrival a=
t the airport, I took a taxi to UNHCR Bangkok building. A UNHCR Bangkok sta=
ff told me I would need to spend a few months waiting in Bangkok for the fi=
rst interview. The UNHCR Bangkok staff told me there is no refugee shelter =
in Bangkok and there is no financial assistance whatsoever. At that time, S=
GD$300 is all the money that I had. I realized that I won't have enough mon=
ey to book a hotel in Bangkok and pay for all expenses while waiting in Ban=
gkok for a few months. I definitely won't be able to survive in Bangkok for=
 a few months with just SGD$300 in my bank account. I flew back to Singapor=
e on 22 March 2017.

After I returned to Singapore, UNHCR Bangkok informed me that I do not qual=
ify to be a refugee.

[02] Taiwan (Republic of China)

I had applied for refugee status in person at the National Immigration Agen=
cy Ministry of the Interior in Taipei on 5 Aug 2019. Documents were submitt=
ed to the Director of the National Immigration Agency. Taiwanese immigratio=
n informed me that Taiwan does not have refugee laws and Taiwan does not ac=
cept refugees. I have not received any response from the Taiwanese governme=
nt ever since.

[03] Australia

There is Form 842 - Application for an offshore humanitarian visa - Refugee=
 and Humanitarian (Class XB) visa.

On 25 Dec 2019 (Christmas Day), I sent Form 842 by DHL to the following add=
ress in Australia.

Visa and Citizenship office - Canberra
Australian Capital Territory (ACT)
Department of Home Affairs
Australian Government
3 Lonsdale Street
Braddon ACT 2612
Australia

The Australian Department of Home Affairs NSW received my Form 842 on 27 De=
c 2019.

Then on 8 Jan 2020, I sent Form 842 by postal mail to the Australian High C=
ommission in Singapore.

On 17 Jan 2020 Friday at 1.25 PM, I received a call from Jennifer at the Au=
stralian High Commission in Singapore.

On 10 Mar 2020 Tuesday at 3.38 PM, I received another telephone call from J=
ennifer Munro at the Australian High Commission in Singapore.

The Australian High Commission in Singapore had referred my refugee applica=
tion to the Australian High Commission in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

On 10 Mar 2020, I received a letter from the Australian High Commission in =
Kuala Lumpur with the Subject: Acknowledgement of valid application for a R=
EFUGEE AND HUMANITARIAN (Class XB) IN-COUNTRY SPECIAL HUMANITARIAN PROGRAM =
(Subclass 201) visa.

On 23 Apr 2020, I had received a final letter from the Australian High Comm=
ission in Kuala Lumpur with the Subject: Notification of the refusal of a R=
EFUGEE AND HUMANITARIAN (Class XB) IN-COUNTRY SPECIAL HUMANITARIAN PROGRAM =
(Subclass 201) visa. That is to say that the Australian Government had reje=
cted my refugee application. In the letter, the Australian Government recog=
nized that I faced some degree of discrimination in Singapore but I still d=
o not meet the requirements for a refugee visa.

[04] United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK)

On 22 Oct 2023, I flew from Singapore to Shanghai and then from Shanghai to=
 London by Air China airline. I arrived at London Gatwick Airport on 23 Oct=
 2023. Upon arrival, I applied for refugee status at the airport immediatel=
y.

British immigration officers and London Gatwick Airport personnel told me:

(a) they have no idea how long the refugee status application processing ma=
y take.

(b) but the Worst Case Scenario was that I may need to wait for up to 5 yea=
rs in a detention center.

(c) I will not be able to work or have a job in the UK for up to 5 years, u=
ntil refugee status application is approved. Hence I will have no income fo=
r up to 5 years.

(d) I will not be able to step out of the detention center for up to 5 year=
s and cannot go to coffee shops and shopping malls in the UK freely, until =
refugee status application is approved.

Even if refugee status application is approved:

(e) I will not be able to go back to Singapore to bring my elderly mother t=
o the UK

(f) The British Government will not pay for my mother's stay in a mental ho=
spital in the UK

(g) I will not be able to go back to Singapore to bring my personal belongi=
ngs to the UK

(h) I will not be able to go back to Singapore to revoke my citizenship, an=
d hence I cannot withdraw SGD$120,000 from my CPF account for spending in t=
he UK

I was already 45 years old in the year 2023, if I waited for 5 years in the=
 UK, and if Refugee Status Application is not approved and the British Gove=
rnment deported me back to Singapore at the end of 5 years, I would have wa=
sted a lot of my time (half a decade). Because I am very old now. At that p=
oint in time, I decided to withdraw my refugee application in the UK.

After I had decided to withdraw my refugee application in the UK, I was tra=
nsferred by a van from London Gatwick Airport to London Heathrow Airport. F=
rom there, the British Government fully paid for my FREE Singapore Airlines=
 SIA SQ321 flight from London back to Singapore. I arrived in Singapore on =
24 Oct 2023.

[05] South Korea

I flew from Singapore to Seoul, South Korea by Scoot airline on 7 Jan 2025 =
Tuesday. Upon arrival at Incheon Airport, I applied for refugee status imme=
diately. I was transferred to the Refugee Waiting Room at Incheon Airport. =
On 9 Jan 2025 Thursday, I was interviewed by South Korean immigration with =
the help of an interpreter who can understand and speak English. The follow=
ing day, on 10 Jan 2025 Friday, the Korean government had swiftly rejected =
my refugee application. One of the reasons the Korean government cited is t=
hat I had applied for refugee status in South Korea primarily and mainly ou=
t of economic reasons. But I had also informed the Korean government that I=
 have government-induced schizophrenia mental illness and lots of numerous =
government-induced health and medical problems (slow kill). The Korean gove=
rnment then asked me to purchase a Scoot air ticket to fly back to Singapor=
e. I was transferred from the Refugee Waiting Room to the Departure Waiting=
 Room at Incheon Airport on 10 Jan 2025 Friday. I was allowed to roam the w=
hole of Incheon Airport Terminal 1 with the exception of the concourse.

On 11 Jan 2025 Saturday at 10 pm, I took the Scoot flight from Incheon Airp=
ort back to Singapore. I arrived in Singapore on 12 Jan 2025 Sunday in the =
early hours of the morning.
