Back in 2004 Ryan Goh's PR was revoked for inciting revolt within a company.
Anton Casey, for inciting hatred against the rich in a country that is already having one of the widest rich-poor gap in the world, still gets to keep his SIN PR. It took his employer, of all, at least a decency to cut ties with him whereas the host country just mumble some motherhood nonsense.

SINGAPORE on Sunday, March 21, looked set to deport a Malaysian pilot accused of instigating union unrest in Singapore Airlines after immigration officials stripped him of his status as a permanent resident.
Captain Ryan Goh Yew Hock, 43, still has seven days to lodge a final appeal to Home Affairs Minister Wong Kan Seng, but if the petition is turned down, he will be forced to leave the country under routine immigration policy.
In a statement, the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority said Goh failed to show why his entry and re-entry permits should be reinstated.
"The controller of immigration has thus cancelled Mr Goh's Entry/Re-Entry Permits and revoked his PR (permanent residency) status," it said. The permits are necessary for residency holders to leave and enter the city-state.
Goh told the Sunday Times he had nothing to say on the matter.
A spokeswoman for Singapore Airlines told AFP the carrier could not immediately comment on whether Goh would lose his job with the state-controlled flag carrier following his unsuccessful appeal.
Goh launched the appeal after being informed by immigration authorities on returning to Singapore earlier this month that he would lose his residency.
The Malaysian pilot, who also has Australian residency rights, was singled out by Senior Minister Lee Kuan Yew, the island's founding father and first prime minister, as the main culprit behind moves that led to the ouster of the union leadership of the Air Line Pilots Association Singapore in November.
The ouster followed a vote by pilots who felt their union leaders had given in too easily to the wage cuts imposed by Singapore Airlines to counter a slump caused by the 2003 Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) health crisis.
Lee, 80, stepped in to resolve the spat and singled out Goh as the person who worked behind the scenes to craft a petition to sack the union leadership.
Before working to oust the union, Goh had already obtained Australian residency status and bought a house in Perth, media reports said.
