peaceful rally can and did turn ugly
2.At about 4pm this afternoon, hundreds of demonstrators at the(HONG KONG) Hung Hing Road Public Cargo Handling Area tried to break the police cordon line and forced a very serious confrontation with the police there. They used bamboo poles and hard objects to attack police officers at the scene, and snatched their shields.
----hong kong December 17 2005.
The police discharged fire hoses onto the demonstrators in response to the emotional demonstrators. At around 5 pm, over a thousand demonstrators, who declared their intention to march towards Hung Hing Road, suddenly charged the police cordon line to march along Lockhart Road at the junction of Marsh Road.
A major confrontation ensued, with the protesters attacking police officers with hard objects, iron poles, snatching police batons, helmets, shields, pushing down mills barrier etc. The proestors also repeatedly tried to overturn a police vehicle, but failed.
3.Over 1,000 persons were arrested for unlawful assembly following a(HONG KONG) Police operation in Wan Chai which started yesterday (December 17).
They are being dealt with in accordance with the laws of Hong Kong and established procedures. -

No fear of that. Genuine businessmen will come to Singapore for their meetings knowing that their talks will not be disrupted by protesters. Tourists who want a safe and quiet holiday will choose Singapore over Seattle. Anarchists posing as NGO activists will go elsewhere for their protests...that's just fine.Originally posted by LazerLordz:Looks like we might have said goodbye to future such meetings.. -

BTW, LKY gave the voters no choice when he decided to declare independence and join the Federation of Malaysia. He might as well have decided to withdraw from the Commonwealth like Burma and Ireland did.
In the aftermath of WW1, the principle of self-determination was applied. Don't see why this wasn't put to good use in SG.
