SINGAPORE : The government has said it is prepared to use the Criminal Law (Temporary Provisions) Act (CLTPA) for drug trafficking activities.

The CLTPA allows for detention without trial.

Deputy Prime Minister and Home Affairs Minister Wong Kan Seng said the preferred approach is to proceed by way of prosecution.

But the CLTPA could be used in certain circumstances.

Replying to Non-Constituency MP Sylvia Lim, he said it could be used in cases where there is a lack of evidence that can be adduced in court, typically because witnesses are unwilling to testify for fear of reprisal, but there is strong and reliable intelligence implicating an individual as a member of such a drug syndicate.

He stressed that the government will not allow such a criminal to go free and continue to pose a threat to society through his activities.

He said preventive detention under the CLTPA ensures that the threat the individual poses to society is neutralised by his removal into custody.

Mr Wong said Malaysian Yong Vui Kong, who is on death row, was a member of such a trafficking syndicate and was part of the chain of operations, specifically to smuggle the drugs he was caught with into Singapore.

Apart from Yong, he said there were others who were part of the syndicate.

Several have been prosecuted for trafficking.

Minion Wong is telling peasants that the regime will issue edicts to impound disruptive elements, that includes political enemies. At the rate Peasantpore is going, it is no different from Imperial China where the all powerful regime act with impunity against peasants.

Soon we will have an Empress Dowager, who will be in power, while grooming the regent, who will ascend the dragon throne; when the dragon king is in his ebb.

"typically because witnesses are unwilling to testify for fear of reprisal"

No matter how much I disagree with PAP and hates Lee Kuan Yew and Dragon Loong and dislike the look of this short ass One Cunt Sing, I must SALUTE the Singapore govt. for understanding this part of the problem.

In fact in the est, many drug dealers get away from being charged in court bec. of this loop hole.

Way to go, PAP keep this up. This is a very effctive way to protect the general public...go ahead and hang those drug trafficers if they are found guilty beyong any reasonable doubt. Good job!
