The Government can also influence religious practice through the
Maintenance of Religious Harmony Act. The act was passed in 1990
and revised in 2001 in response to actions that the Government
viewed as threats to religious harmony. This includes aggressive
and "insensitive" proselytizing and "the mixing of religion and
politics." The act established the Presidential Council on
Religious Harmony, which reports to the Minister of Home Affairs
and is empowered to issue restraining orders against leaders and
members of religious groups to prevent them from carrying out
political activities, "exciting disaffection against" the
Government, creating "ill will" between religious groups, or
carrying out subversive activities. These orders place individuals
on notice that they should not repeat such acts; contravening a
restraining order can result in fines of up to $6,622 (SGD 10,000)
and up to two years' imprisonment for a first offense. The act also
prohibits judicial review of its enforcement or of any possible
denial of rights arising from it.
Opps sorry wall of text
but like rooney said, there have been people who were arrested
for this...mostly because they 'said stuff' about other
religions.
thanks bonkers for the info. all the more, Rony Tan was let off
very lightly by ISD, really incredible and unbelievable isnt it.
isnt it seditious enough for Rony Tan to be charged and
prosecuted to jail?
