[h=1]KHAW BOON WAN: THE RESTRICTIONS WE PLACE ON SPEAKERS’ CORNER HAVE WORKED WELL[/h]
Post date:
20 Jan 2015 - 9:02pm
Khaw Boon Wan, the minister for National Development noted that the rules and regulations in place regarding the use of Speakers’ Corner have all worked well in the past until the incident on September 27 2014 when two events clashed.
On September 27, activist Han Hui Hui organised a CPF protest at Hong Lim Park but was shocked to find that after her approval was granted to hold the protest, another YMCA event was allowed to book the same venue.
A conflict arose after the CPF protesters took their protest march, which they were previously approved to hold, across the area where YMCA was holding their event with guest of honour Minister Teo Ser Luck.
Since the event, Han Hui Hui, blogger Roy Ngerng and four others have been charged in court with public nuisance.
