The police have detained Mr John Tan and Ms Chee Siok Chin. The two SDP leaders had gone to Orchard Road to witness a protest that was supposed to be conducted by a group of Burmese nationals at the ASEAN Summit.
But when they arrived at the scene, the two were surrounded by a group of police officers and prevented from walking on.
They were subsequently arrested and led to an unmarked police vehicle by W/Sgt Thean Siew Khin, Sgt Peter Chan, and Cpl Ng Chee Wei and driven away.
When asked the officers refused to say why the two party leaders were being detained.
Initially, the officers would only say that Mr Tan and Ms Chee would be taken to “your headquarters” at Serangoon Road. But halfway to the destination, a radio call came through informing the officers that the destination was incorrect.

Was showed the video by my mystery MSN friend.
Its always interesting to see this kind of real life video. This time round, the casts are even bigger than Zoe Tay or Lee Nan Xing! They are the Singapore Police Force VS the Singapore Democratic Party.
For those who don't know, the lady is Ms Chee Siok Chin and the videoman is Mr John Tan, both are the membes of SDP. Apparently, she just wanted to have a meal with his friend at Shangri-La Hotel where we all know some ASEAN leaders are signing some agreement held there.
Summary of the video.
Again, there are always 2 side of people and opinion (thats why theres SDP!).
On the Police.
- Thumbs up for their professionalism for not losing their cool on a hard and trouble maker.
- Thumbs down for being too soft.
- Thumbs down for not stating the obvious reason thats she prohibited to enter, hence wasting lots of precious time and manpower that was necessary in case of emergency.
We all know Ms Chee from the video that she just wanted some hard facts and rules from the thick law book but the police failed to produce any. That will only strengthen her determination.
On the SDP.
Another shameless and disgraceful act to the SDP and Singapore. Try doing that in other countries! Disclaimer: This post represents a humble opinion from the blogger on this issue. He has nothing against anyone. He loves Singapore and is proud to be her citizen!
