Organising or participating in a public assembly or procession without a police permit is an offence.
SINGAPORE – Public assemblies relating to the Israel-Hamas conflict are not allowed without a police permit, the police reiterated on Oct 11.
Under the Public Order Act, a police permit is required for such activities. Organising or participating in a public assembly or procession without one is an offence, the police said. “There have been multiple incidents overseas where protesters demonstrated on the streets on either side of the Israel-Hamas conflict,” they said.
The police added that such activities may also have an adverse impact on the peace and harmony between the different religions in Singapore, and heighten tensions between the communities.
