Avoid illegal assembly in support of Bersih: S'pore police

SINGAPORE: Singapore police have warned the people not to organise or participate in any illegal assembly in the republic in support of the Bersih 4.0 rally in Malaysia.
In a statement, the force said it had been made aware of calls encouraging overseas Malaysians to organise and participate in events in Singapore in relation to the protests in Malaysia.
"Police would like to remind the public that organising or participating in a public assembly without a police permit in Singapore is illegal and constitutes an offence under the Public Order Act.
"Foreigners working or living here have to abide by our laws. They should not import issues from their own countries into Singapore which can disturb public order," the statement said.
Police said those who break the law would be dealt with firmly, and this may include termination of visas or work passes where applicable.
Bersih protestors are gathering today and tomorrow (Aug 29 and 30) in Kuala Lumpur, Kuching and Kota Kinabalu. – Bernama
