21 Malaysians Arrested At Protest in Singapore Recently - Ini orang pandai yang bodoh

This was taken from the Singapore Straits Times via Singapore Law Watch. My comments are simple - IF you are a Malaysian working in a foreign country (especially one like Singapore where everything is prim and proper - a 'fine' city) you should abide by their laws and regulation. You rice bowl depends on working there and there could be a chance of you being deported, thereby you losing your jobs.

The twenty-one who were arrested kat sana, were you guys high on medication or something? You were so smart to seek employment over there and you are incredibly stupid to jeopardize it by protesting there. In Malaysia you may have had a chance joining the thousands of misguided fools in the recent gatherings, but in Singapore, where you are a handful and subject to much stricter laws.

And even the Singapore government has basically accepted the election results by congratulating Prime Minister Najib Razak. This proves that most of the people who support the Pakatan's cause are quite ignorant of laws and regulation. And are stupid as heck.

Rare police action comes after earlier warnings that such gatherings are illegal

Twenty-one Malaysians were arrested yesterday for staging a protest at the Merlion Park against the outcome of last Sunday's Malaysian general election.

The rare police action followed earlier warnings that such gatherings are illegal, and after nine Malaysians were warned for participating in a similar protest last Wednesday.

In a statement last night, the police said 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."

The group gathered at around 4.50pm yesterday. The Sunday Times understands they were mostly young people, many dressed in black, the protest colour of Malaysia's opposition Pakatan Rakyat coalition.

Before the arrests, some of those in the group posed for pictures with the Merlion as the backdrop.

Last week, the police warned nine Malaysians for "actively participating" in an illegal gathering at Merlion Park on Wednesday, when about 100 people went to protest against the Malaysian election results.

Last Friday, the police said the work and visit passes of the nine were being reviewed by the authorities, and their employers would be informed.

A second protest had been planned for yesterday, but its organiser cancelled it after being advised to do so by the police.

Separately, the police also reminded migrant worker rights activist Jolovan Wham of his responsibilities as organiser of a Speakers' Corner demonstration today, also related to the Malaysian general election.

He has been told to take appropriate measures to ensure that the event complies with Singapore laws.

The police said they were informed that Mr Wham had posted on Facebook that he was organising the demonstration to show solidarity with Malaysians calling for fair elections and that "he had invited foreigners to observe the event".

"The Speakers' Corner is a designated site for Singaporeans to freely speak on issues as long as they do not touch on matters which relate to religion or may cause feelings of enmity, hatred, ill-will or hostility between different racial or religious groups in Singapore. Only Singaporeans and permanent residents of Singapore are allowed to participate in demonstrations held at the Speakers' Corner," the police spokesman said.

Mr Wham was reminded that he will need a police permit if foreigners are going to participate in the demonstration he is holding today.

He could not be reached for comment last night.
