Is en masse wearing of a particular shirt unlawful?

How about one that has Jozef Stalin's photo emblazoned on it?Originally posted by ceecookie:So it means that wearing "Stützen Sie die Nazin, alle hageln Hitler!"
is illegal?

I think the entire MHA staff should resign en masse.Originally posted by anonymouscoward:Haa... this is the biggest joke and the police made a total fool out of themselves!!
If their logic holds true, I suggest that close down all apparel shops like Giodarno, G2000, Bossini, Ocean Pacific etc... so funny.
The police chief should be fired for this costly mistake. The opposition would no doubt use this incident to raise the public discontent with the government.... Haa.. such a big blunder so near to election.. -
Honestly, PAP are turning into fascists. The white elephant incident smacks of thought policing.Originally posted by the Bear:please do not equate the minor irritation and cynicism to the sheer evil that was the Nazis...
morons out there like ceecookie would think that the Nazis are "cool".. -
I think the enitre Home Ministry staff needs to be sent to the gas chamber.Originally posted by BillyBong:Was this story covered in the ST? I seem to have missed it entirely...meaning either it was an extremely SMALL article or surpressed completely to cover up the BLATANT STUPIDITY and high-handedness of our men in blue.
Instead of catching real troublemakers and thieves, they clamp down hard on school girls selling T-shirts?!?!?
Someone shoot the police commissioner in-charge.

At the forthcoming GE, Singapore should punish the police and MHA for this low act.
Now that Buangkok Station is open, maybe the residents nearby can safely vote out PAP. No more carrots! -
in the end nobody wore the tees at the opening.
i am very disappointed with our govt. -
Like that then those who wear those society/committee/club tshirts also will be caught when worn en masse?Originally posted by dragg:its true.
this country should open up. even wearing of t-shirts they want to control.
kns!!!
-
T-shirt also will ban ah...
I wear my cycling tight while riding next time will kanna caught to go mata chu or not? -
their stern warning must be really 'stern' to dissuade anyone from wearing it.Originally posted by deathscythe99:Like that then those who wear those society/committee/club tshirts also will be caught when worn en masse?
so much for opening up. no action talk only!!!! -
If the original plan was to dissuade the girls from selling the T-shirt (which had NO RELATION to the Buangkok station white elephants), then the harebrained attempt backfired when the organiser actually went through the actual red tape of applying for the 'permit' (which was completely UNNECESSARY) and eventually sold out all shirts!
Kudos to the organisers and school girls! -

Funny how come Salman is not supporting the govt's actions this time...
Thought he would say something like
"I totally support the govt! They should ban ALL apparel with elephants of any colour from the streets of sg!"
Perhaps his view of the govt is selective where he assumes that things like this does not happen while blindly supporting their other less transparent dictates... -
Nah.. let's not drag him into this and give him any more funny ideas, shall we?Originally posted by SilverPal:Funny how come Salman is not supporting the govt's actions this time...

Wong Kan Seng, has finally admitted and apologized on TV tonight that the police might have over-reacted in cautioning the school girls on selling of white elephant T-shirts.
Ha ha citizens have once again proven that their criticisms of wrongful government actions and policies have been justified. This time despite government or police very stubborn actions against the white elephant placards and white elephant T-shirts the people did not give way and could prove their views right again.
Government has simply over-reacted on many issues affecting people's freedoms of choice and creativity etc including such things like peaceful and silent protests over wrongful acts in not opening the Buangkok MRT station and its many draconians anti-community policies.
It is proven again and again that despite the NKF types of wrongs the government is still very slow and not willing to change to keep up with the time.
In the same way the government has been overreacting on people's free and creative community participation and expressions over the nets and blogs.
Let this incident of overreacting on the display of white-elephant placards show to the government the citizens are not stupid and will not be cowered into submissions just because of stupidity or stubbornness of our scholars.
It is a case of NKF stubborn refusal to admit past mistakes and problems and a case of people putting up a contest of ideas with the government finally showing it has no defence over many of its past tough policies.
One by one, perhaps citizens will probably have to contest with the government who is right and who is wrong on so many policies and issues affecting political freedoms of choice, freedoms of expressions and participations in social and community affairs of the state.
