Speakers' Cr shall not be arena for domestic conflict in foreign
country.
Why did Seelan Palay invite every one to join a event which
is meant only for SG citizens?
Pl dunt use SG
as arena for domestic conflicts in foreign
country.
Pl advance with cautions while seeking peace.
I admire Seelan Palay's noble targets of peace in Sri Lanka.
He shall do it without bias.This is nothing to do with his
connection with SDP and CSJ.
U will know i just base on his writings to give him this
gentle reminder,judging on the date and time
of this proposed

1. Seelan
Palay alreday has bias on Sri Lanka gavaman
History has demonstrated that such wars can never be won. The
international community must take decisive steps to pressure the Government of Sri
Lanka to abandon the path of militarism and opt for a
negotiated political settlement. Our prompt intervention will avert
the loss of many more precious lives.
Join us at Speakers Corner this Saturday, Nov 15 to light a candle
and show your support for peace in Sri Lanka.
Has he also called for LTTE also to
"abandon the path of
militarism and opt for a negotiated political
settlement'?
Did LTTE launch any attacks recently?
LTTE recently has launced air attacks on military bases by small
aircafts
and sank some naval ships.Do we call the attacks as
militarism or peace
actions?
2.What is
the defintion of
"if
foreigners are speaking or participating
in"?
Under NPB
Terms and Conditions for SC.
9 A Police Permit must be obtained if permanent
residents of Singapore are speaking or organising a demonstration
or if foreigners are speaking or participating in or organising
activities at Speakers' Corner, Hong Lim Park.
If foreigner,be it tourists or Foreign Workers,(construction
workers,
IT,financies etc) as onlookers in SC,will it constitute
participating in
the
activity?
Further,Seelan Palay gave conflicting,if not misleading
messages.
In today ST news,he was quoted saying:page C 6
"Mr Palay said his group is keep
the event to Singaporeans only.This is to
avoid having to apply for a polce
permit......."
well.ke knows the conditions i quote above.
But,he said in the web site:
If the event is meant only for Singapore Citizens (pl note
excluding PR),
why did he say
'spread this information to
everyone you know"?
This trouble me very much!!
This is a time and date when many foreign workers are on
leave!!
3.Dunt let
Singapore as arena for demestic conflicts in foreign
countries,
even it is
your mother lands
The ISD is also involved in neutralising several attempts by
terrorist groups using Singapore to raise funds or to procure
electronic parts in aid of their struggle. In 1985, the ISD took
actions to neutralise a local network of the Liberation Tiger of
Tamil Ealam (LTTE) headed by Sri Lankans working in Singapore. Key
leaders and activists of the network were arrested and expelled to
countries of their choice. In Nov 2000, the ISD carried out a
security operation against another local network of the LTTE whose
principal activities were the secret collection and transfer of
funds. These operations served to put these individuals on notice
that the authorities will not tolerate their use of Singapore and
Singapore citizens/permanent residents in activities which are
prejudicial to Singapore’s security interests.
lands for whatever reasons.But it is not in the interest of
Singapore
to carry one activities right here.

The two-hour event will be staged at Speakers' Corner in Hong
Lim Park, where rules on public speaking and protests were relaxed
on Sept 1.
Although the event was described as a demonstration when the
group registered it with the National Parks Board (NParks), there
will not be any speeches or protests, said Mr Palay, 24.
Instead, they will distribute fliers containing information
about the sectarian strife in Sri Lanka which began in 1983 and has
since claimed more than 70,000 lives and displaced over one million
others.
Mr Palay said the group will also put up a notice board for the
public to pen 'peace' messages for Sri Lankans caught up in the
conflict.
'We hope to express concern and raise awareness about the
situation in Sri Lanka as Singaporeans and members of the global
community,' he added.
Clashes between government forces and rebels seeking an
independent homeland escalated after the government called off a
ceasefire in January, accusing the rebels of using the lull to
re-arm themselves.
A spokesman for NParks confirmed on Wednesday that it received
an application to 'hold a vigil for peace in Sri Lanka'.
Since Sept 1, applicants need to only register online at the
NParks' website any time before speaking or staging a
demonstration. They have to state the intended topic as issues
dealing with race and religion remain out of bounds.

Times.
