The other was during the Asean Summit in Singapore in 2007, when groups of four people gathered to evade the permit requirements.
'Having a threshold creates an artificial numerical criterion which can lead to a cat-and-mouse game with the police. This distracts the police from their responsibility to secure the safety and security of the event,' he added.
'We debate in this House with the often implicit assumption that people behave reasonably. But the unfortunate truth is that there is always a small minority which gets up to endless farcical antics outside there,' he said.
'If one is too low a number, what number should be chosen? Five? Four? Three?' he added. 'It's better for us simply to focus on the effect of the activities.'
Shortly after that 1st MHA Ministar WKS asserts
In Singapore, it is only a tiny group of irresponsible and selfish individuals who have been pushing this line of civil disobedience. They do not care for the interests and safety of other Singaporeans; they are only interested in themselves. There are avenues for them to express their views within the bounds of the law. Unlawful activities will not be tolerated. Parliament has just passed the Public Order Act to deal with those intent on disrupting public order. We will implement the law firmly
Is this the best we can expect for $5m a year from this Laurel and Hardy duo
