Based on a Facebook invite I've got to this event, they are Singaporeans, Malaysians, Hong Kongers, British, Canadians, Australians, Filipinos, Indians, Americans. Organisers are Singaporeans. The attendees are of various nationalities, mostly as 'observers', not organisers, because by law, only Singaporeans can apply for permit to hold events at Hong Lim Park.

That's about the way I read it this morning but I had no idea that foreigners were not allowed to be in attendance.......learn something new everyday.

Bersih was without permit so served them right to get arrested.ecureilx wrote:per SG Laws, Foreigners aren't allowed to attend / meddle in local politics or import overseas problems here ...
Not unfair says me . ...
cops did the same for the Bersih 2.0 related gathering at the Padang area ...
and also for the Falungong protests a few years ago ...
The chance of them getting a permit if they had applied?the lynx wrote:Bersih was without permit so served them right to get arrested.ecureilx wrote:per SG Laws, Foreigners aren't allowed to attend / meddle in local politics or import overseas problems here ...
