Polis to get Preemptive Authority

[Sleepyman]

MHA reviewing public order laws

 

WHEN members of the Singapore Democratic Party attempted to disrupt the IMF-World Bank meetings here in 2006, it turned into a three-day standoff with the police.

 

When Falungong activists protested along Orchard Road in 2005, they were warned that they did not have a permit. Yet this did not stop them from protesting the very next day.

 

Armed with only the Miscellaneous Offences (Public Order and Nuisance) Act (MOA) and Public Entertainment and Meetings Act (Pema) police could only deal with such acts of civil disobedience via prosecution after the incidents.

 

Now, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) wants to give its security forces the powers to deal with such situations

Ha...we should at least be glad they don't start persecuting people for posting opinions on the internet...if they really start, I know at least a few here who will get a visit.... Maybe they won't follow the China model...

 

Funny case highlighted though...case of policeman stopping behind a car parked at double yellow line...when policeman book the driver, the C&(K driver told him "you also park at double yellow line!"

 

Wonder where he expects the mata to come from?

They shd strive to improve and excel at their main job, making sure limping and non-limping prisonerS do not escape rather than surfing internet to post "all animals are equal" comments and looking for "alternative" views to "re-educate"....

 

Jia Pah Bo Sai Pang. Like that, should get pay cut or made redundant.
