They only have the right to remove person(s) from the protected
area, provided the person(s) breached subsection 4(2) as clearly
stated in subsection 4(3).
Protected areas.
4. (1) If as respects any area it appears to the Minister to be
necessary or expedient that special measures should be taken to
control the movements and conduct of persons therein he may by
order declare that area to be a protected area for the purposes of
this Act.
(2) Any person who is in any protected area shall comply with such
directions for regulating his movement and conduct as may be given
by an authorised officer, and an authorised officer may search any
person entering, or seeking to enter, or being in, a protected
area, and may detain any such person for the purpose of searching
him.
(3) If any person while
in a protected area fails to comply with any direction given under
subsection (2), then, without prejudice to any proceedings
which may be taken against him, he may be removed from the area by
an authorised officer.
The Police Officer in charge Mr. Michael Tan committed an offence
of wrongful restraint and abduction.
Either you didn't understand the Protected Areas And Protected
Places Act (Chapter 256), or, you intentionally mislead us.
The subsection 4(3) [removal from area] is supposed to be used only
when the person has violated subsection 4(2).
But has Ms. Chee or Mr. John Tan violated subsection 4(2)?
Regulating his/her movement in which area?
Was there proper boundaries to demarcate the areas, so that her
movement could be regulated?
Regulate: means to control her movement in the area
Even if police officer had erroneously requested that she not go
into Shangrila Hotel; did she violate that request by stepping into
Shangrila Hotel. From the video, it was shown that she was still
outside the walls of Shangrila Hotel, she hasn't even stepped into
the hotel. So.....what breach has she committed that resulted the
use of subsection (3) that force her removal or abduction?
Ms.
Chee outside Shangrila Hotel Part 1
Ms.
Chee outside Shangrila Hotel Part 2
Did she denied a search by the police officers, if the police
officers had even requested a search? All they wanted was to
victimize her because of her political affiliations.
If there were no proper boundaries to differentiate between the
different zones, it's not possible to control her movements.
As the video showed, Ms. Chee wasn't even inside Shangrila
Hotel.
If subsection 4(2) was not breached, the use of subsection (3) was
not justified.
I think the officer in question had himself violated the Kidnapping
Act (Chapter 151), section 3.
Abduction, wrongful restraint or
wrongful confinement for ransom
3. Whoever, with intent to hold any person for ransom,
abducts or wrongfully restrains or wrongfully confines that
person shall be guilty of an offence and shall be punished
on conviction with death or imprisonment for life and shall, if he
is not sentenced to death, also be liable to caning.
I might be wrong, but I think you have a vested interest in this
issue regarding the wrongful restraint by the police officers. I
don't think you have a political cause, but your defence of the
police strictly based on legality makes it so.
Thank you.
