The Trump-Kim summit is proving to be quite exciting for Singapore as all the world's eyes trained on our sunny island on Tuesday, June 12.

But as the meetings were going on in the morning, a 69 year-old South Korean woman staged a protest outside the Capella hotel, demanding that North Korea return her father.

According to Yahoo Singapore, the woman's name is Kim Gi Young and her father's name is Kim Young Il.

Kim reportedly said her father was kidnapped by North Koreans in 1960 and his current whereabouts are unknown.

The sign being held up by Kim reads:

"If North Korea really wants to end the war, it will follow the Geneva Convention. Check the whereabouts of the kidnapped in the Korean War and send the remains!"

Her protest was being translated by a Korean Christian pastor who was accompanying her, 52-year-old Kim Kyou Ho.

Both were asked by the Singapore police to leave the premises.

On the other end of the spectrum, a user's Facebook post said two men, standing among the crowds just after Sentosa Gateway feeds onto Sentosa island, were taken away for questioning by police officers after holding up a banner in support of the summit — also on Tuesday morning:

The two men, whom the Facebook user Andy Tango says are from the United States and South Korea, were holding up a banner that read:

"SIE Group supports U.S.-North Korean summit to be successful and its future"

"SIE", we learned, stands for Shepherd International Education, an American school located in South Korea.

Super duper tight security

Security on the island has been stepped up before and during the summit.

Five days before the summit, the Singapore Police arrested two South Korean men, both of whom are employees of South Korea's largest public broadcaster Korean Broadcasting System News, or KBS.

The men, aged 42 and 45 were caught for trespassing the residence of the North Korean ambassador to Singapore on June 7.

Both men were deported with a "stern warning", while the police issued a reminder to foreigners to "abide by local laws".

In return, KBS issued an apology for its employees' "imprudence".

On Saturday, another man who was not identified, but was said to be from an ASEAN country, was denied entry to Singapore after he reportedly displayed what was described to be "nervous" behaviour.

Immigration and Checkpoints Authority officers who checked his phone discovered that he had been browsing websites on suicide bombing.
