This whole thing of being investigated for holding a playcard without a permit is getting ridiculous. It is now PAP MP Louis Ng at the receiving end of the police investigation for holding a playcard to support hawkers.
This is similar to Jolovan Wham’s case where he held a placard with a smiley face in front of a police station and got charged for it.
Another absurdity was when the police charged and fined Jolovan Wham for organizing a conference over skype.
A third man was charged for protesting alone outside the US embassy in Singapore.
Where is this all bringing us to? We are slowly turing into a police state. The govenrment seems to be intolerant of dissenting voices and prosecuting even at the slightest transgression with a sledge hammer.
The above is posted by Osman Bin Sulaiman in TRE. This is an assembly, an illegal assembly of one man and a placard according to Singapore law. Really dunno what to say. Anywhere in the world got this kind of law? Would Myanmar's generals be calling the Singapore govt to protest and say this is not democracy? Would it be an illegal assembly if the words were printed on the T shirt? Would someone wearing a T shirt printed with the words, 'Screw You' or 'Love You' also be guilty of illegal assembly?
My advice to all in Singapore, for your own sake and own good, do not wear T shirts or blouses with printed words on it. Just to be on the safe side.
Is this getting too far, too absurd? What do you think? It must be good for Singapore. Really?
