Malaysians stage 2nd protest at Merlion Park: 21 arrested


May 11th, 2013 | Author: Editorial



Despite 9 Malaysian FTs being warned by the Police for actively participating
in an illegal protest staged at Merlion Park in Marina Bay on Wed night (8 May)
(‘100 M’sian FTs stage illegal protest at Merlion Park‘), another
group of Malaysians staged a second protest at the same venue this afternoon (11
May), defying the warnings from Singapore Police.

21 of them were duly arrested by the Police today. Police said those who
break the law will be seriously dealt with. They will face action, which might
include termination of their visa or work pass.

The Malaysians were protesting against alleged fraud in the recent Malaysian
general election held on 5 May 2013. Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim in Malaysia
had called for protests against the alleged fraud.

A police statement issued this evening said foreigners must abide by
Singapore laws, and should not import their domestic issues from their
respective countries into Singapore.

Police also earlier remind the public that conducting an outdoor protest
without a police permit is illegal in Singapore. While foreigners, including
Malaysians, are allowed to work and live in Singapore, they have to abide by
Singapore laws.
