SINGAPORE - Local activist Goh Keow Wah, better known as Gilbert Goh, was charged in a district court on Wednesday (Dec 15) with an offence under the Public Order Act after he allegedly staged an unlawful protest near the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority building in Kallang Road on May 1. The Singaporean is said to have held up a placard stating: "Please ban all flights from India we are not racist! Just being cautious." Police said in a statement on Tuesday that he did not have a permit to carry out the public assembly. Goh, now 60, had posted a picture of himself with the placard on Facebook on May 1, a week after Singapore barred all long-term pass holders and short-term visitors who had travelled to India in the past 14 days from entering or transiting through the country. The move was announced by the multi-ministry task force on Covid-19, following a surge in cases in India. He was also charged on Wednesday with refusing to sign his statement to the police at the Bedok Police Division Headquarters at around 4pm on May 11. Details about the statement were not disclosed in court documents. Separately, police said in their statement that he had allowed a foreigner to partic...

SINGAPORE - A waste management firm that was fined $12,200 in 2018 over illegal discharge of liquid waste was handed another penalty last month for a similar offence. NSL Oilchem Logistics was fined $17,000 for the illegal discharge of trade effluent, or liquid waste created by businesses, into public sewers on two occasions. It was convicted of three charges on Oct 12 for the two incidents last year - on Sept 24 and Oct 26. National water agency PUB said on Wednesday (Nov 24) that between August and October last year, its regular sampling on several occasions detected abnormally high levels of regulated substances, such as heavy metals, and chemical oxygen demand (COD) at night in public sewers in Tuas. COD is a measure of water quality. These readings were traced to NSL's premises in Tuas Avenue 12. During a routine inspection by PUB on Sept 24 last year, it found that NSL had discharged trade effluent containing heavy metals beyond permissible levels into public sewers. On Oct 26 last year, PUB carried out a "surprise late-night inspection" and caught NSL personnel illegally discharging liquid waste. PUB said: "This time, NSL had also tampered with the monitoring equipment and s...
