On another note, I refer to the articles Police request on
T-shirts probably an overreaction (ST, Oct 23) and Prof Ho
explains T-shirt incidents (Today, Oct 23).
The former article states that:
Mr Siew then asked what powers the officers had to ask the duo to
go to the police station for an interview. Pro Ho said it was a
request and the duo could refuse it.
Did the officers inform the duo that it was only a request, and
that they could refuse it?
If not, why not?
Since Prof Ho also said it was probably an overreaction by the
police, will there be assurances that this will not happen again?
Will steps be taken to ensure that officers do not request people
to go to police stations for interviews, unless they are also
informed at the same time that they can choose not to go?
By the way, was there any answer to NMP Siew Kum Hongs question,
What is the total value of remittances from Myanmar into Singapore
over the past 5 years ?, or NCMP Sylvia Lims question asking the
Minister for Foreign Affairs whether and to what extent there are
arrangements in place for military cooperation between Singapore
and Myanmar?
can you really do that?
