PENAL CODE (AMENDMENT) BILL

Order for Second Reading read.

     The Acting Second Minister for Nuisance (Mr iReally Buay Tahan, Racist): Mr Speaker, Sir, I beg to move, That the Bill be now read a Second time.

   The Bill will amend the Penal Code to give legislative effect to the following measures to:

   (a)   Insert General Public Nuisance as a criteria for criminalizing in the Penal Code.

Sir, I shall now explain the amendments in the Bill.

Current State of the Penal Code inadequate:

Section 141 of the Penal Code presently criminalizes unlawful assembly to the extent of: An assembly of 5 or more persons is designated an “unlawful assembly”, if the common object of the persons composing that assembly is —

(a) to overawe by criminal force, or show of criminal force, the Legislative or Executive Government, or any public servant in the exercise of the lawful power of such public servant;

(b) to resist the execution of any law, or of any legal process;

(c) to commit any mischief or criminal trespass, or other offence;

(d) by means of criminal force, or show of criminal force, to any person, to take or obtain possession of any property, or to deprive any person of the enjoyment of a right of way, or of the use of water or other incorporeal right of which he is in possession or enjoyment, or to enforce any right or supposed right; or

(e) by means of criminal force, or show of criminal force, to compel any person to do what he is not legally bound to do, or to omit to do what he is legally entitled to do.

This is inadequate considering public nuisance caused by the assembly whom have no criminal intent sometimes far exceed the normal tolerance level for the normal public.

Targeting a specific group of individuals with bad conduct:

This amendment to the Penal Code will allow the persecution of certain individuals whom like to prowl the streets (corridoors) at night and cause a ruckus at ungodly hours. This will also prevent them from playing hide and seek in the wee hours of the morning and/or screaming along the corridoors in the process. Furthermore, their gatherings in front of halls or carparks in the middle of the night will have to cease too on the account of the dangers passerbys have in failing to notice them due to color deficiancies at night. Not to mention the stench.

Zero-ing in on the offenders in particular by adding the following subsections:

Under CHAPTER VIII OFFENCES AGAINST THE PUBLIC TRANQUILLITY Section 141, insert subsections:

An assembly of 5 or more persons is designated an “unlawful assembly”, if the common object of the persons composing that assembly is —

(f) to talk/scream/basically make any noise.

This reason is that they tend to talk very loudly. This causes general disturbance to the public and one can literally hear them from the other end of the corridoor. Not to mention the slamming of doors and incoherent gibberish they spout.

(g) to play hide and seek in the hall premisis.

Seriously. How old are these people? Don't they have (school)work to do? Why all the chasing? Why all the laughing? Even though they have an advantage playing hide and seek at night, they should do it in the privacy of their own country. Disturbing the peace is unwarranted and should be criminalized.

(h) to remain in their rooms past 2am.

By remaining in their rooms, it is meant for them to remain in their rooms individually and not congregate in a single individual's room. This is to ensure that they have no chance to prowl the streets or corridoors of the halls and make a nuisance out of themselves.

(i) to keep their room doors closed.

Especially in rooms where the wind will pass through. It's for the greater good of the general public.

(j) to stop gathering in front of halls and/or carparks in the middle of the night.

I would like to point out that this is an extremely ridiculous act and on personal experience, I was driving into the biz carpark at 3am and there was a sea of them. Around 20, all lined up army style. It was too dark to determine the sexes, but the sea parted when my headlights touched them. For all we know under the guise of gathering for fun and games, they are actually undergoing training/drills to overthrow the government. In this case, the ISA would apply. However, we should stop this nonsense at the source.

The amendment Bill creates new subsections (g), (h), (i), and (j).  This also gives the Minister for Nuisance the power to make regulations to give effect to Singapore's legal obligations under any further international agreement.

      Sir, I beg to move.

     Question put, and agreed to.

     Bill accordingly read a Second time and committed to a Committee of the whole House.

     The House immediately resolved itself into a Committee on the Bill.  -  [Mr iReally Buay Tahan, Racist].

     Bill considered in Committee; reported without amendment; read a Third time and Presidential Council for Minority Rights rejected it on the account that it was too racist.

Oh well...
