Only communist country like China dun allow protests.

Singapore arrests 21 Malaysians in election protest
Saturday, 11 May 2013
SINGAPORE: Twenty-one Malaysians were arrested in Singapore on Saturday for staging an illegal protest following the disputed elections in their neighbouring homeland, the city-state's police said.
*
The Singapore Police Force (SPF) said in a statement that "while foreigners are allowed to work or live here, they have to abide by our laws".
*
"They should not import their domestic issues from their countries into Singapore and conduct activities which can disturb public order, as there can be groups with opposing views. Those who break the law will be seriously dealt with."
*
A police spokesman told AFP that the Malaysians were held under the Public Order Act, under which organisers of illegal protests can be jailed up to six months or fined Sg$10,000 ($8,100). They can also be both jailed and fined.
*
Participants in illegal protests can be fined up to Sg$5,000. Foreigners jailed in Singapore are normally deported after serving their sentences.
*
The Malaysians were arrested at Merlion Park, a popular tourist attraction along Singapore's Marina Bay promenade, for staging a protest "despite repeated police advisories" against such gatherings, the SPF statement said.
*
The arrests came three days after an estimated 100 Malaysians gathered at the same spot in conjunction with a mammoth rally in Malaysia's capital Kuala Lumpur by the opposition, which claims it was robbed of victory in the May 5 parliamentary elections through fraud.
*
Nine of the participants in Wednesday's protest in Singapore received police warnings.
*
"Their work and visit passes in Singapore are being reviewed by the authorities. Their employers will be informed of this. Further investigations are ongoing," according to an SPF statement on Friday.
*
The Malaysian opposition, led by former deputy prime minister Anwar Ibrahim, has called for a wave of protests after the ruling coalition was returned to power despite receiving less than 50 percent of votes cast.
*
Singapore was ejected from the Malaysian federation in 1965 after a brief union between the two former British colonies, but they are bound by strong economic, political, cultural and family links. (AFP)

I agree that some of.. or even alot of Sg's laws make us look backward and ruled by the pappies in the eyes of foreigners.

It is quite funny that Sg's ppl in the govt still wants to attract foreign talent.. but would a smart, entrepreneur, with good business sense and vision, come to Sg to do anything? Limited freedom of speech.. and if you say or write something wrong.. you probably might get sued by the ppl in authority or even get jailed.

Would the best ppl in any field come here, knowing that there are so many restrictions? No protests allowed, govt not tolerating anything being said against it.. etc etc.

If I was from the USA.. I won't stay here long. I might come here.. find some SPGs that will give me great sex.. and when I had enuf.. I would move on.. nothing here.. setting up biz is not reali easy.. you nid so many licences.. so many procedures.. even if the govt made it easier.. the thought of so many other restrictions here might turn many away.

There is no real night-life.. if you don't include Geylang and the other red light distticts. Pubs and nightclubs dun open 24hrs.. massage joints get raided frequently, so do bars and pubs.. and most of the local women. and men here.. don't really take to foreigners nicely.

So.. unless the atmosphere is less restrictive.. until the locals can tell the foreigners that life here isn't so "watched".. not many will want to come here to live. To make money of this island state and it's people.. yes.. but to stay on until they pass on frmo this plane of existence.. I doubt it.

Sinkapore will just be a transit point for all the wealth chasers of the world.... let's see how this cookie crumbles when the music stops....


sinkapore assumes that as long as it sucks up to the americans and scratch the chinese back, everything will be ok. We are a tiny country so we need to be "pragmatic"(read as unprincipled)...

anyways this all will not last because the present bunch of fuckers running this country just wanna make as much money from this place sio that they can secure the future of all their children first and kick the fucking can down the road.... what happens later, later then talk ... hahahahaha


hope sinkies realise how thoroughly fucked they really are,..........

 

[escher]

Stinkapore will last about as long as smear of shit on sole of shoe LKY
The maggots in white that LKY gathered to be in his gang, and who agreed to be in his gang are the most
rotten self serving scrappings from a cesspit.

They kept in line only with fear of LKY and their greed for $$$$$$$$$

When LKY eat joss sticks and candle wax, the maggots in white will start to front stab and back stab each other with their
kangaroos and running dogs all having a go for more power

THEY CANNOT FUCKING LAST A MONTH AFTER LKY EAT JOSS STICKS

Even if you are an american you would be likely go to Thailand. Even with the limited time they are allowed to stay in LOS, these people take the trouble to do VISA runs to neighbouring countries, so that they can return & stay on in Thailand.

If you go to Pattaya you will find many, many, many,... Russians, PRC Chinese, Indians. Over there the condo market is very hot with many projects targeted at foreigners.

It's not about the 'right to protest'.

It is the freedom of assembly. And it should be stated explicitly, unambiguously in the Constitution, with no negating sub-clauses.

The fact that you have to go to the Speaker's Corner, to inform the authorities beforehand and to get a permit to conduct any form of rally or protest is a disgrace.

The PAP govt needs to grow the fuck up.

 

[ILovePAP]

Arrest all trouble makers and sent them back. Singapore has no place for such people.

Malaysian High Commissioner Md Hussin Nayan was reported by the Malaysian national news agency Bernama on Sunday as saying that those who organised and participated in the illegal protest should face the consequences.“Extremist and emotional reactions have no place in building a stable, prosperous and peaceful Malaysia,” he said.

 

[BuiKia]

Are you a Malaysian?

It is not as if Singapore is very far from Malaysia. They can just go JB to protest and come back in. There is no offence for that. Why are they doing it here? They got no guts to do it there so want to do it here?

If i ask my friends go merlion park celebrate my birthday will also get arrested? What about those banglas & pinoys gathering in huge numbers at farrer road or east coast park?

You are a certified moron. If those 21 had no guts, but wanted to make themselves heard anyway, nothing could be easier than boarding a bus and head for Kelana Jaya stadium and blend into this crowd of 120,000. And you are dump to believe that there is no illegal assembly law in Malaysia. There is, you ignorant Twit. The difference is the Malaysian government cannot afford to pay the political price of using those laws - the Malaysian electorate has managed to grow balls, as they have shown in Bersih 1, 2, 3 and possibly 4, 5, 6 or however long it takes. Oops, I also forgot to mention that you "mistakenly" posted the photo of an innocent girl named Cindy Ong who happens to have the misfortune of sharing the same name as Laura Ong's sister.

If you do not think of sinkieland as a democracy then all these laws make sense.
We are an absolute monarchy of the great Lee dynasty........the sooner sinkies realize this the faster we can move on....

 

[DuYunQi]

I juz heard from an aussie fren (angmo).. he told me that even if all the women here offered their bodies.. he wouldn't want to come here to make sg his home.

He pointed out one big fact that irks him... "No Porn!!"

And I realized that even in HK, porn is sold on the newstands. Not PRC.. but HK.. South Korea has it.. and we all know Japan has it. Even thais have it.. but not here. Don't talk about Msia or Indonesia.. cos I don't know if they got any underground selling of porn.. but I believe they have.. so.. same as Sg.. where porn is not legal.. and you have to hide at home to view it.

The authorities seem to think they can block porn sites.. but I noticed even Sec 2 students can access and view porn via their mobiles. How unrealistic can one be.. to think that they can stop ppl from viewing porn.. esp in this internet and 3g and interconnected age. It is so readily available.. that ppl outside of sg.. from developed countries such as USA, UK and even Aussie.. look at us with a weird look in their eyes.

Sigh.. only ppl who come here are those who want to scrape more money from this country and it's ppl.
