Gotabaya Rajapaksa set to extend his stay in Singapore, newspaper reports
Former Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa is set to extend his stay in Singapore, the Straits Times reports.
According to the Singapore based newspaper, Mr Rajapaksa's short-term visit pass, which was issued when he arrived in the country on a private visit two weeks ago, has been extended by another 14 days.
The Straits Times adds that it understands that the new visa Mr Rajapaksa has been issued will expire on August 11.
Mr Rajapaksa initially stayed at a hotel in the city centre, but is believed to have moved to a private residence.
He has kept a low profile since he arrived, and has not been seen in public, the paper further states.
Cabinet Spokesperson Minister Bandula Gunawardana told reporters yesterday that the former President is not in hiding and believes that he will soon return to the country, though he did not know when.
