The Police are investigating 30 subjects aged between 21 to 56, for their suspected involvement in a public assembly without a police permit at Sembawang Park.
On 21 January 2017 at about 6.50pm, the group, comprising males and females, gathered at Sembawang Park. Some of them were holding placards. Preliminary investigation revealed that the subjects were there to show their support for “Jallikattu” and the ongoing protest in India against its ban.
The Police would like to remind the public that organising or participating in a public assembly without a police permit is illegal in Singapore. Foreigners visiting or living in Singapore have to abide by our laws. They should not import the politics of their own countries into Singapore. Those who break the law will be dealt with firmly, and this may include the termination of visas or work passes, where applicable.
