Chees & 5 charged--'06 IMF-WB unlawful assembly/procession
-
''Chee siblings, 5 others charged'',2 years after the offences,
for taking part in an unlawful assembly and/or procession
during IMF-WB 2006 meeting.
Why prosecution now but not earlier
It is a answer we all want to know.But i think it is
related to AG and his high ranking officers's wisdoms.
After reviewing the files of 72 hours stand off,
they decide go ahead.Just like that.
An offence is offence.AG in 2006 did not pursue do not
bar the current AG to pursue.Did gavaman or AG promise
not to take action?
This kind of'' No active action'' promise from gavaman only
guranteed related to s 377A.LKY said pllice would not charge into bedroom
and current AG said no one will amush u in bushes for s 377A.
Read ST interview with new AG.
Look out.This is an unusual AG---without Fears and Favours!!
72 hours stand off waste of security resources
The then security force was too generous to Chees.
They could just take Chees off the street after adequate warnings.
There is no need IMF -WB to teach us how to run the country.
IMF-WB better spend time now to teach USA,UK etc how to fix the
over--lending problems aka sub--primes crisis!!
Dunt ask Chee go to jail while u watch the Game
Many of u just do the arms chair politicians by critizing PAP
this or that.U juys cheer the Chees but dare not
go into the track and run.What a shame.
To me,u just asking Chees,like Gopalan Nair did,go to jail
as many as possible then Chees will succeed!!
But u stay at home ,watching TV!!

''National serviceman Teoh Tian Jing, 23, (left) and assistant treasurer Jeffrey George, 44, have been charged with taking part in an unlawful assembly and/or procession in 2006. -- ST PHOTO: WONG KWAI CHOW''SEVEN people were charged in a magistrate's court on Thursday with taking part in an unlawful assembly and/or procession in 2006.
Chee Soon Juan, 46, secretary-general of Singapore Democratic Party, his 46-year-old sister, Chee Siok Chin, and national serviceman Teoh Tian Jing, 23, each face two charges.
The Chee siblings are accused of taking part in an assembly near Raffles City Shopping Centre with a few others on Sept 10, 2006, and six days later, at a procession near the Speakers' Corner at Hong Lim Park.
Teoh allegedly took part in a procession near the Speakers' Corner as well as in front of Parliament House on the same day of Sept 16, 2006.
SDP chairman Gandhi Ambalam, 65, and assistant treasurer Jeffrey George, 44, are accused of the three incidents.
SDP supporter Yap Keng Ho, 46, and Harkirat Kaur, 29, who does freelance editorial work, are accused of one charge each involving the Speakers' Corner and Raffles City gathering respectively.
Harkirat indicated that she wished to plead guilty and her case will be mentioned on Sept 1.
Except for Teoh whose pre-trial date is on Aug 27, the others will appear in court again on Sept 3.
If convicted, they can be fined up to $1,000 each.
During the court session, most of them cited the Constitution which gives citizens the right to freedom of speech and expression.

Pro-democracy advocate Chee Siok Chin is among the protesters.
"They won't let us move, they won't let us march but yet they are afraid to arrest us," Chee Siok Chin said.
"So right now, we are just standing, standing here, and there's a stand-off here."u are wrong.They arrest u 2 years later.
nice photo---every one know u lah,Dr Chee.
Then it worth every single effort in the stand off.
''Lets pray u guys disperse, then we can go home.''

famiLEE LEEgime conceded defeat in stopping protest
Uncle Yap's story about keep an arm's length from SDO here
Although I assisted SDP'e election campaign in 2006, I found my fight had been too much compromised and softened to suit the SDP. Particularly, I disagreed with them that they withdrew the NKF issue for election after being sued, and allowed 10 CEC members to apologize to the lame bastard famiLEE. Therefore after the GE, I began to have much reservation in further accepting any party policy of SDP and I stopped wearing SDP's party T-shirts.

Hmm... i think i saw the video of the stand off, it was like a group hug thingy where all the female police will make a circle and hug his sister. anyway, unfair la, their constitutional rights were not being allowed to be practiced and they got arested for it.
I htink, other country people see it will laugh man, what are the cops doing to those 6 people at speaker korner and in the first place they will laugh at the fact that singapore has a speaker corner designated for speaking.

I feel for those female polices in the picture, if i sign on for police, I will want to do something more useful than standing in a group around and intimidating the defenceless women. But too bad have to listen to orders...
This one really liao lui liao manpower...
