KNN, i din knoe flyin a kite in sinkapore also got so many freaking regulations to follow. WTF is goin on with dis fucking country? 
:oIo::oIo::oIo::oIo::oIo:
To clear the air after rumours spread that the police were banning kite-flying at Jurong Park, the Police report that they only asked kite-flyers to fly their kites at a lower height after complaints from a nearby airbase.
A netizen posted the said rumour and even claimed that a kite enthusiast quarrelled with police officers who did not allow him to fly his kite in the area.
The Police responds:
"Acting on complaints received from Tengah Airbase, Police officers responded to Jurong Central Park and advised kite-flyers to lower their kites to the stipulated height in accordance with the regulations under the Air Navigation Order.
"For reference, Section 64 of the Air Navigation Order states that:
"64. Balloons, kites and airships.
(1) Within Singapore —
(a) a captive balloon or kite shall not be flown at a height of more than 200 feet above the ground level or within 60 metres of any vessel, vehicle or structure;
(b) a captive balloon shall not be flown within 5 kilometres of an aerodrome;
(c) a balloon exceeding two metres in any linear dimension at any stage of its flight, including any basket or other equipment attached to the balloon, shall not be flown in controlled airspace;
(d) a kite shall not be flown within 5 kilometres of an aerodrome;
(e) an airship shall not be moored; and
(f) an aircraft capable of being flown without a pilot shall not be flown —
(i) more than 200 feet above ground level;
(ii) within 5 kilometres of an aerodrome; or
(iii) within the boundaries of any danger or of any restricted or prohibited area, without the permission in writing of the Chief Executive, and in accordance with any conditions subject to which that permission may be granted.
(2) A captive balloon when in flight shall be securely moored, and shall not be left unattended unless it is fitted with a device which ensures its automatic deflation if it breaks free of its moorings.
(3) For the purposes of this paragraph, the reference to an aerodrome in sub-paragraph 1(b),(d) and (f)(ii) shall include a reference to a military aerodrome
