SDP activists charged for speaking in public without permit
5 Jun 06
Police have charged Dr Chee Soon Juan, Mr Gandhi Ambalam, and Mr Yap Keng Ho under the Public Entertainment and Meetings Act (PEMA).
Dr Chee and Mr Yap are charged with eight counts of “making an address in a public place” while Mr Ambalam is charged with one. The three men were selling the SDP's The New Democrat in the run up to the elections in May.
The three are required to appear in Court No. 26 at the Subordinate Court on 20 June 2006 to enter their pleas.
This is another way the PAP prevents the opposition from directly and effectively communicating with the people. In so doing it denies the Singapore Democrats access to the people. This allows the PAP to continue its monopoly on what the public reads and hears, which in turn allows the ruling party to shape politics and the opposition according to its own agenda.
The SDP is determined to break the PAP's stranglehold on free speech and peaceful assembly in Singapore, and will continue to challenge unjust laws like the PEMA. If Singapore is going to enjoy democracy and if Singaporeans are going to have a meaningful say in how this country is run, unjust and unconstitutional laws like the PEMA must be abolished or amended.
The Singapore Democrats call on Singaporeans who seek justice and democracy to actively work with the SDP to rid this country of the one-party system and its ban on freedom of speech and peaceful assembly.

The rule of the game is simple. Everyone abide by legislation passed because it is the citizens' law. It is not stagnant in nature but revolving with each new succession batch of office holders voted into parliament. SDP hatred for this law does not constitute them the rights to flout it in the eyes of the law. If they are ever smart enough, they should have channelled their resources to preparation for the next GE and never a lawsuit.Originally posted by LazerLordz:This law must go.

Is there any RULE OF or RESPECT FOR LAW, when after being elected in by a small section of the population FROM ONLY THE CONTESTED WARDS - the POWER OF ONE has the cheek to pass legislations after legislations that DISENFRANCHISED THE RIGHTS OF SINGAPOREANS ?Originally posted by TooFree:SDP cannot even obey simple law. Law enacted by national representives elected in by citizens to speak and work on behalf of the nation. Now SDP has the cheek to ask for support from citizenry and seek justice before our law? Bullshlt crap.
For the last FORTY YEARS of continuous hardship to struggle from independence to our present supposed First World Status, the generations of Singaporeans - (1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s) - have been complacent in allowing the POWER OF ONE to have a free hand in Government, and was struggling to fill our stomachs while co-operating and believing in the Government by the POWER OF ONE to build a new and free Singapore that will be better than the Colonial Days.
What have we today ?
A legal system left over from the Colonial Days that continue to shackle our hard earned freedom from Colonial Rule, when the famous speeches from our "beloved" Comrade LKY had then read as :
From the impressive speeches made during the fight for Self-Government from the Colonial Rule, to Independence, Singaporeans have struck faith with LKY, and we can only now awaken to a sense of betrayal to the speeches that he had so eloquently made to garner our political support.
If it is not totalitarian to arrest a man and detain him when you cannot charge him with any offence against any written law - if that is not what we have always cried out against in fascist states - what is it?Â… If we are to survive as a free democracy, then we must be prepared, in principle, to concede to our enemies - even those who do not subscribe to our views - as much constitutional rights as you concede yourself.10
I agreeÂ… that if any act is done to overthrow a government by force, that act must be suppressed. But if we say we believe in democracy, if we say that the fabric of democracy is one which allows the free play of ideas, which avoids revolution by violence because revolution by peaceful methods of persuasion is allowed, then, in the name of all the gods that we have in this country, give that free play a chance to work within the constitutional framework.15
Between then and now, with over FORTY YEARS of monopolistic ONE PARTY POLITICAL DOMINANCE - how has that grand speech become corrupted to the present shackling of our basic Singaporeans Rights ?
Can we now not be shocked to find that we have arrived into the First World, burdened by the First World Cost of Living, but continue to live in the legal system of a Third World Government, practising Third World Politics and disillussioning themselves and Singaporeans to be a Class from the First World.
Is it any surprise that the SDP and CSJ is now making their best individual effort to awaken ALL generations of Singaporeans to the dangers that have already befallen us, and seek the help of ALL Singaporeans to confront the monster that we have supported within us ? -

worth thinking over -
Well, if its the law then uphold it fairness. How many speeches have the MIW made during their walkout, meet the people session etc etc. Do we assume all have a permit. Can we ask them to produce the permit if we see them making a speech. Questions Questions

Wrong.Originally posted by Rexdriver:Citizens elect PAP wat. PAP pass law. So law is citizen's law lor... So easy also donch understand. No wonder always missing the point. Must be Too Free.
Sure, the citizens elected PAP. But only 66.6% of all eligible voters actually did. So following your reasoning, 1/3 of eligible voters do not possess ownership of the law - so how can it be a citizens' law when a substantial proportion doesn't accept it?
Also, PAP created and subsequently passes the law WITHOUT any permission from the citizens.
If a referendum had been passed and Singapore citizens voted for the passing of the law, I can still accept that it is a citizen's law.
But that didn't happen. So it's PAP's law, since they were the ones who created and passed it.
You say that TooFree is missing the point. Looks to me like you're the one missing the point.
Try looking in the mirror first before sliming others. Hope it doesn't crack.
I'm out of here. No sense talking sense into senseless people who speak nonsense. -
