A 22-year-old woman will be charged in court on 29 April 2024 with the offence of acting as a member of an unlawful society under Section 14(3) of the Societies Act 1966.  

Sometime in July 2023, the woman allegedly posted video clips of herself on a social media platform chanting gang slogans and displaying gang hand signs to show secret society affiliation.

Any person found guilty of acting as a member of an unlawful society under Section 14(3) of the Societies Act 1966, shall be liable on conviction to an imprisonment term of up to three years, a fine of up to $5,000, or both. 

The Police have zero tolerance towards secret society activities and will not hesitate to take strong action, in accordance with the law, against those who choose to be associated with gangs, or acts as gang members by chanting gang poems and slogans, or displaying gang hand signs on social media platforms. Members of the public are advised to steer clear of secret society activities and to report those engaging in such unlawful activities to the Police immediately.
