On 16 Sept 2006, Chee Soon Juan and a few of
his associates gathered in the late morning at the Speakers' Corner. |
|
Chee had earlier repeatedly declared that he
would lead a protest march and hold rallies at Speakers' Corner,
Parliament House, Suntec Convention Centre and the Istana. The Police
had advised the public not to be involved as the procession would be an
offence. |
|
After making speeches at Speakers' Corner,
Chee attempted to proceed on a protest march to Parliament House. |
|
However, he and his group were stopped by
the Police and advised not to break the law. This attracted a curious
crowd of bystanders and media personnel. |
|
As at 10.15pm, Chee and his group are still
at Speakers' Corner, with a crowd of about 20 bystanders. |
|
The Police will be investigating the
incident. The Police are appreciative that their advisory has been
observed and that the public did not participate in the protest march.
In fact, the Police received feedback from the public about nuisance and
disruption to traffic arising from the incident. |
