China flag hung on HDB flat: Punishable by law, say Police

Displaying a national flag - other than that of Singapore - in public may well land you in trouble with the authorities, says the Singapore Police Force.

This picture of a Chinese flag apparently hung on a HDB block was spotted on a local forum by STOMPers iceboyboy and Ah Tiong. The picture caused quite a stir on the internet on Oct 1, which is China's National Day.

A spokesperson for the Singapore Police Force told STOMP:

"In response to media queries on the STOMP posting where a PRC flag was spotted being displayed outside a flat window, Police confirm that such an act occuring in Singapore may constitute an offence under the National Emblems (Control of Display) Act, which prohibits the display of such national emblems in public or at schools, including where it is displayed in a manner as to be visible from any road, street, bridge, passage, footway or place by any member of the public.

"Anyone with information can call the Police Hotline at 1800-255 0000."

Hey Micky Mouse Reporters/Journalists - what about this story ?
What Police actions taken; did the people in the flat ran away or are in hiding that no Police actions were taken or no news story made ?

I don't understand what the big deal is... Singapore is full of people from other countries, you can't expect them to give up all national pride just because they moved to another country. I rememeber seeing the stomp post about this flag a few weeks ago, and it was around the time of China's national day. If it's really against the law then there isn't much anyone can say, but as a human rights issue; it's not detrimental, insulting or harmful to anyone so they should be allowed to display it.
