Singaporean Alfian Saat's 2013 application for Ngee Ann City permit rejected

In solidarity with those warned by the police that they need to apply for a permit for a 'public gathering' (even if, according to the Public Order Act, it is a gathering of ONE PERSON), I went to apply for a permit to do my own thing on Orchard Road.

I got rejected. T__T

**********

This was my application:

1) The purpose of the event

Of late, there have been various incidents, including the release of the White Paper on Population, which have made people forget about the PAP's track record and its valuable contributions to the country. It is time to remind Singaporeans that the current prosperity and peace that they enjoy should not be taken for granted. We are where we are now, a role model nation-state in the Southeast Asian region, precisely because of good governance from the PAP. We have to remember that the PAP's policies of meritocracy, multiracialism and incorruptibility are responsible for making Singapore what it is: Singapore. And what better venue than Orchard Road, the heart and soul of Singapore, to underline this message for Singaporeans?

2) Main organiser of the event

The main organiser of the event is myself.

3) Location of the event

The main location that I have identified for this cause-related solo public demonstration of what is essentially love for the ruling party is the space in front of Ngee Ann City, along the pedestrian boulevard.

4) Itinerary of the event

The event will consist of myself holding a placard during its duration.

5) Visuals of the backdrop/ banner/ poster

I will be holding a placard, measuring around 1 m to 1.5 m, bearing the words, "Be Grateful to the PAP". As the words will be painted on, I cannot accurately describe what font they will be in, but it is likely that they will be in one of the sans serif fonts, as serifs are quite difficult to render by hand. All the text will be in black, but the text for 'PAP' will be in blue and red. The two 'P's will be in blue, and the 'A' will be in red, which is quite a clever approximation of the party's own logo, without reproducing the party's logo itself, which would in all probability require written permission.

6) Expected turnout

The expected turnout will be based on the average pedestrian traffic during the event. In all likelihood, there will not be a 'turnout' in the sense that a crowd will gather around me, but mostly transient passers-by.

7) No. of participants

As I will be the only person holding the placard, then I believe the total number of participants is one. There is a possibility that some passers-by, recognising the aura of honour surrounding anyone who hoists said placard, might wish to ask for the opportunity to hold it for a while. I will refuse. If they so wish to stage their own expression of support, they will have to make their own placard and apply for a police permit by themselves. Singaporeans cannot be taught to cultivate ownership of important issues if they insist on borrowing other people's placards.

8) Any entertainment provided during the event

This is quite a serious event. There is nothing entertaining about the PAP.

9) Visuals of the poser/ banner to be displayed, if any

I am not sure of what is referred to here as 'poser'. Granted, some people might request that I 'pose' for photographs. I will gladly oblige, since this will allow my message to be later disseminated to those who did not have the opportunity to encounter me at Orchard Road. If by 'poser' you mean 'the person posing with the placard', then I can send you a recent photograph of myself. Please specify if you require a facial shot, waist shot or a full-body shot.

10) No. of licensed securities/ marshals deployed for event management and crowd control; and

As there are no foreseeable security concerns, then there is no need for security personnel present. I expect to be approached by some passers-by, offering praise and thanks for the timely reminder. The atmosphere will be friendly, convivial, and suffused with goodwill and gratitude.

11) Any Guest-of-Honour attending/ gracing the event.

There will not be any Guest-of-Honour attending/ gracing the event, though I wish to take this opportunity to repeat what an honour it is for me to carry the placard.

Yours sincerely,
Alfian Sa'at

Apply what fuck!
Did Taiwan students ask permission
To occupy their Parliament House?
Typical Sinkie mentality

Just organise tens of thousands
Occupy whatever square or oblong
For as long as it takes
To get your message across
Lightning will shit in their pants
Poodles quickly find ambulance to hide

And when the anti-riot police comes, prepare some stones and molotov cocktails.

They'are as effective as insect repellent on mosquitoes.

Alfian Sa'at is priceless when it comes to taking the mickey out of absurdities in our system. Put him on TV with his own show and we'd have our own Jon Stewart.
Too bad not many would understand him. Puffed up politicians need a few good prods.

One of the very best poets to have emerged from this cultural wilderness too.

"I wish it had paws," you said,
"It's quite grotesque the way it is,
you know, limbless; can you
imagine it writhing in the water,
like some post-Chernobyl nightmare?
I mean, how does it move? Like a
torpedo? Or does it shoulder itself
against the currents, gnashing with frustration,
its furious mane bleached
the colour of a drowned sun?
But take a second look at it,
how it is poised so terrestrially,
marooned on this rough shore,
as if unsure of its rightful
harbour. Could it be that,
having taken to this unaccustomed limpidity,
it has decided to abandon the seaweed-haunted
depths for land? Perhaps it is even ashamed
(But what a bold front!)
to have been a creature of the sea; look at how
it tries to purge itself of its aquatic ancestry,
in this ceaseless torrent of denial, draining
the body of rivers of histories, lymphatic memories.
What a riddle, this lesser brother of the Sphinx.
What sibling polarity, how its sister's lips are sealed
with self-knowledge and how its own jaws
clamp open in self-doubt, still
surprised after all these years."

"Yet...what brand new sun can dry
the iridescent slime from the scales
and what fresh rain wash the sting of salt
from those chalk-blind eyes?"

A pause.

"And why does it keep spewing that way?
I mean, you know, I mean..."
"I know exactly what you mean," I said,
Eyeing the blond highlights in your black hair
And your blue lenses the shadow of a foreign sky.
It spews continually if only to ruffle
its own reflection in the water; such reminders
will only scare a creature so eager to reinvent itself."

Another pause.

"Yes," you finally replied, in that acquired accent of yours,
"Well, yes, but I still do wish it had paws."

He's about the only artist with the balls to use his art to reflect socio-political realities.

Death of a Tyrant

it will not rain on the day of your passing.
the ground will be the sort that will not yield a grave.
fountains will be turned off, men will arrange chairs
near sun-dusted windows, watching as if expecting
your black-suited procession to visit their streets.
you will refuse, of course, to fit into your coffin,
and they will have to anchor down the eclipses
of your eyelids over those outraged suns.
they will parade you, a gulliver,
with one hundred corpse-bearers taking turns,
because anyone within three feet of you
will sweat at the palms. there will be
junctions where citizens will want to spit
at your passing, but the memory of fines
will keep them mum. what an entourage
it will be, with the walkie-talkied mourners
throwing affidavits like hell money,
(for nobody but you could endure so much
damages in one lifetime), the sunglassed
actresses turning your acronym
into orgasms of mourning, and the cwo
sweepers blushing from behind.
and heading it all, a frisky lettuce-lion, to yap
at the invisible (unlawful?) gathering of hanged ghosts
who will weave for you, like a mute band of brothers,
a wreath of nooses, soiled as stillborn snakes.
your eulogy will be an edifice of fire,
sheer lightning in a cloudless sky,
(O architect of charisma, glorious historical weeper)
a baptism that will char dead trees into totems.
in life, your snort was a decree, your fart a sermon.
in death, a nation's silence will follow you to the grave.
only then will you know what it means to be exiled,
only then will they know what they have
been holding their breaths so long for:
the stench of your corruption,
and the clear, newborn coughing,
on a dawn-rinsed, tearless morning.
