Riot os CPF Bldg this afternoon...
-
Read the evening paper
4 person protested os CPF Bldg for transparency...
Citing NKF saga
Riot police came in...
(Anyway, they could have gotten into trouble, as they have no prove to say that NKF is a govt stat board) -
Only 4 persons and they had to call in the riot police?
-
Kiasu..... the law says 5 and above ppl meeting only consider protest or staging...... now is 4.
Does spore police has some problem with understanding their own law? -
Well, it is still public disorder because it is protestOriginally posted by LittleTiger:Kiasu..... the law says 5 and above ppl meeting only consider protest or staging...... now is 4.

Wrong...it is determined by what the people meant by....protestOriginally posted by sbst275:Well, it is still public disorder because it is protest -
Chey... Thougt what...Originally posted by deathscythe99:Wrong...it is determined by what the people meant by....protest
Anyway, can't be bothered... -
Yeah all because Home Affairs Minister has a bone to pick over the concept of civil disobediance.
If I were a foreign investor, I would be aghast at the sight of riot police mishandling four mere protestors and would seriously reconsider my investments.Using riot police is overkill.
And the police should go read their own Penal Code.Riot or unlawful gathering with intent to cause trouble is 5 or more. -
What is the root cause of such unhappiness?
If the root cause is not understood, no matter how wrong these 4 protesters might be, the problem will remain as cans of worms within our society. There might be some more future unrests.
Now is not the time to talk about right or wrong of these protests. It will take leadership to address deep-rooted problems. -
Protesting is illegal meh....?Originally posted by sbst275:Well, it is still public disorder because it is protest -
It is not illegal, you just need to go to the police to apply for a permit to protest. Which will state very clearly what you are protesting about. Most of the time, it would not be approved.Originally posted by Lowclassman:Protesting is illegal meh....?
This application basically tells the garmen who the potential "trouble makers" are. -
Is it legal to protest in Malaysia?
Perhaps the famous 4 can protest infront of Singapore Embasy in KL. They can do it at the same time as some international submit in KL to garner more international exposure. -
Malaysian government will allow pple to protest in front of singapore embassy provided relationships are very bad and the problems in malaysia are attributed to singapore.
Other then that , No. -
NKF again.
i think they will have to explain their actions. why cpf?
its public disturbances.

NKF and CPF ? -

outside your house, the police will come after 30 mins. and only 2.

riot police equipment is getting rusty... they got to use it even if it's 1 protester.

CPF is the govt's 'bank account' for citizens. With a 2.5% interest rate, it could be deemed as THE place to store your cash. Sure you can't touch it till you're what 60? But so long as i have nothing better to do with my money, why not make larger contributions into my own ordinary acc?Originally posted by AF2005:NKF again.

Given the average bank annual interest rate at 0.X%, i would have rather put my hard-earned savings where i can generate more interest.
Unfortunately, the govt closed this obvious loophole 2 years ago. Else i would have continued my contributions.
And yes, like a bank, the govt uses these reserves to seed national projects or fuel investments. Again, how they manage what could be arguably public funds is not clearly informed upon the population. -
Even ex-Anwar supporters in M'sia will be laughing when they hear of this...Originally posted by charlize:Only 4 persons and they had to call in the riot police? -
Can take out 100% of amount to invest in Unit Trusts, or 35% in stocks. Something stopping u?Originally posted by BillyBong:CPF is the govt's 'bank account' for citizens.

Because leaving your money in the CPF in very very much safer?
-
Em, I have seen like "NKF again"
The issue is this, some ppl have been tricked by ST... What ST reported, is 50% true up till the court case, the rest like minister's comments were all cooked up -
CPF is really the government "borrowing" money from the people and then returning some of it to us very much later with very low interest rates.

By sending so...many riot police to handle 4 unarmed and peaceful protesters.Originally posted by timothytsgsg:Even ex-Anwar supporters in M'sia will be laughing when they hear of this...
Is a stupid and disgusting joke~! of the world.
