Lui Tuck Yew to look into stricter alcohol licensing measures for Little India

"How many times must i tell u that i don't watch porn!"

SINGAPORE: Transport Minister Lui Tuck Yew said he will look into limiting liquor licences within the Little India area. He will also look into properly demarcating areas where drinking is allowed, and setting the time for which it is allowed.

Mr Lui is a member of parliament for Moulmein-Kallang GRC, which covers Little India,

He was speaking on the sidelines of a visit to residents and business owners in the Race Course Road area, following Sunday night's riot, where 27 men from South Asia were arrested.

He assured residents that the police will step up presence in the affected area.

He stressed that it was "too early to say definitively" what caused the incident, and that it will take time to gain a deeper understanding of why this happened.

Noting that the riot was a "very, very serious" incident, Mr Lui added: "We sometimes take our peace for granted. This is a reminder that things can flare up and we need to be prepared." - CNA/ac

Noting that the riot was a "very, very serious" incident, Mr Lui added:

kapitan these days is seriously chomping at the bit
the thought of filling the hole is giving him a serious fit
he's seriously thinking of not bothering with all this shit
seriously where's he gonna find a hat to pull out the rabbit?

When they are opposition parties members, in peaceful small numbers...THEY ARE PREPARED...it happened when they were not prepared, & allowed the congestion & congregation of a huge mass of a certain type of people at a very small area. It was a ticking time bomb... that corner of Hampshire Road/ Race Course Road is very narrow...it was an accident waiting to happen... I have taken those worker's buses & dropped off there on a Sat/Sun night...talking from first hand experience..

It is the PAP shit policies that have been taking Singapore safety for granted. You granted so many work and employment permits by the millions and expect there to be peace in Singapore? This riot is not going to be the end of all problems, it probably is the beginning of more to come.

Complete alcohol ban this weekend in area where riot took place

SINGAPORE: There will be a complete ban on the sale and consumption of alcohol this weekend where the riot took place in Little India.

Second Home Affairs Minister S Iswaran said this is a temporary measure to stabilise the situation on the ground.

He said: "It will give the police time to assess the situation, engage stakeholders and then decide on the next appropriate next steps to be taken."

Mr Iswaran was speaking to reporters on Monday evening at Little India, where he met retailers.

He said the police will implement the ban and communicate to all the stakeholders in the affected area.

When asked if stricter rules on alcohol could have helped to avert the riot, Mr Iswaran said this needs to be thoroughly investigated before a conclusion is made.

But he added that it is "plausible" that alcohol consumption was a contributing factor.

While issues like the selling of alcohol can be addressed more quickly, one observer said the root causes may be the bigger challenge to tackle going forward.

Ho Kwon Ping, executive chairman of Banyan Tree Holdings and chairman of the board of trustees at Singapore Management University, said: "What sprang immediately to my mind was a similar incident that involved the Chinese bus workers going on strike. So the commonality here is that… essentially for the first time, we are beginning to see problems that have been seen elsewhere in Dubai. And Dubai has reacted to it like a police state; just completely clamping down on them and making them live in absolute ghettos on their own.

“The problem we have now is an underclass. It's no doubt a permanent transient underclass. It's a permanent underclass of low cost foreign workers who'd move on, of course, after a few years, but it's permanent in terms of its size." - CNA/gn

How could one of the world's highest-paid minstars make such a stoopig statement?

Anyone who's been to Little India will know that yesterday wasn't the first day that Ah Nehs massed there for the weekend. They've been massing there for donkey years.

This is really bad. As a minister, he needs to say more meaningful things....rather than this spoonfed rubbish.

Is this what one of the world's highest-paid ministar could come up with? Maybe the stoopig idea was floated by one of the world's highest-paid civil serpent.

Message for Iswaran: do you honestly believe they can't take buses out of Little India to other parts of Sink-a-pore to buy alochol?

LEEgime's resources are heavily stretched after fixing insignificant things and events....

Opposition parties would do well to bring up this riot incident at GE 2016.

why pappies never say sorry one har?

Instead of an alcohol ban, why not construct a Ah Neh foreign worker clubhouse at Little India?

No need to be luxurious like a SAFRA clubhouse, think along the lines of a SAF specialist mess. Enough to keep them entertained and preoccupied on their off-day.

They can socialize and drink at one location, without wandering around causing riots and accidents. And while this is going on, curb the number of foreign workers being issued work permits.

KNN, highly paid ministers think an alcohol ban will solve the problem? No, it'll backfire and exacerbate the situation. What a bunch of morons.
