Breaking News: Two SDP
leaders arrested, police refuse to give reason
Singapore

20 Nov 07
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.
This website will carry updates as soon as
they are available.
