TOC 'must apply for licences'

Before it can hold its first fundraiser as a political association, The Online Citizen has to apply for at least three licences from the police, it has learnt.

In a note last night on its website, which is being gazetted by the Prime Minister's Office for engaging in politics, TOC claimed it has to apply for a Public Entertainment License, a house-to-house and street collections licence and a notification to conduct a lucky draw under house gaming rules.

The police were unable to reply at press time to queries, while the blog's chief editor Joshua Chiang declined to comment on its next course of action.

TOC had intended to hold the "TOC Cassetted, Not a Political Party" event on Saturday, comprising a live performance, games and a lucky draw.

Its note said the police have said TOC would know if the applications are successful before the event. Zul Othman
