SINGAPORE — Events and public assemblies in relation to the Israel-Hamas conflict will not be permitted due to public safety and security concerns.
Those intending to use Speakers’ Corner at Hong Lim Park must first submit an application to the National Parks Board .
"The police have assessed that there are public safety and security concerns associated with such events, given the heightened tensions. NParks shares the same concerns."According to the NParks website, foreigners and non-Singapore entities must apply for a police permit to organise or assist in the organising of an event at the Speakers' Corner. Non-Singapore citizens must also apply for a police permit to engage in public speaking at the Speakers' Corner.
"Given the sensitivity of the topic and the volatility of the situation overseas, there is a real risk that such events could give rise to public disorder. As such, applications to hold such events will be turned down," they added.
