The Singapore Police has agreed to return the note book it had seized from Han Hui Hui during an interview on 10 October.
Ms Han was being interviewed as part of the police’s investigation into “an offence of unlawful assembly” on 27 September at Hong Lim Park during the fourth “Return Our CPF” protest which Ms Han had organised.
She was later reported to have been at the police interview for more than seven hours, and emerged from the police station at about 10pm that night.
Confirming the return of Ms Han’s note book, the office of her lawyer, M Ravi, said, “Police have confirmed in their letter addressed to us today [16 Oct] that they are releasing Han Hui Hui’s notebook and personally delivering the notebook to our office at 3 pm today.”

Mr Ravi had sent a letter to the police about 2 days after the police’s interview with Ms Han to demand that the authorities returned the note book to his client.
The letter by M Ravi said that Ms Han had made a written record of the questions and her answers put to her during the interview with Senior Investigation Officer, Inspector Wong Yu Wei, on 10 October 2014 at the Central Police Division.
“This personal record was prepared so that she would have accurate details of the matters in question for her legal advisers, and as such it constituted a privileged legal communication,” Mr Ravi said in his letter.
“It is a matter of the gravest concern that it appears this personal record was seized from her at the interview and had not been returned to her,” he added.
Mr Ravi’s letter also requested “an explanation for the wrongful seizure of private property from our client.”
“It is crystal clear that the police have no basis to confiscate the note book, and it was a wrongful seizure,” Mr Ravi told The Online Citizen on Thursday.
“We maintain our position that the note book is a confidential document covered by legal professional privilege,” Mr Ravi added. “It is also jealously safeguarded by litigation privilege. The notes taken by Hui Hui are meant to prepare her defence (if she should be charged for any offence). It’s time that our citizens know their rights.”

国防部网安事故:黄永宏称将加强对供应商监管框架

上月21日,国防部和武装部队的服务供应商电脑系统遭恶意软件入侵,导致人员资料面对外泄风险。 对此,国防部长黄永宏医生在本月6日的国会,答复议员提问时表示将加强对供应商的监管系统,采取网络安全分层框架,包括定期审查供应商,确保较敏感的数据能够得以保存。 他补充,国防部在事发前已采取一些保护措施,如在新合约加入个人资料保护条款,以及供应商将条款逐步纳入现有合约中。 但针对网络安全分层框架,当局并未有更多细节透露。 上月,国防部和武装部队的服务供应商电脑系统遭恶意软件入侵,两家供应商新康国际卫生科学院(HMI Institute)以及新科物流均受影响,其系统存有12万人员的个资,包括9万8000名国防部或武装部队人员的全名、身份证号。此外,还有新康国际其余客户的全名、身份证号、电邮、生日日期和住址等个资。 新康国际声称在发现软件的恶意攻击后立即切断网络,并让科技公司进行调查,而国防网络署署长陈庆利准则表示,国防部和武装部队的系统和运作均不受影响,但却存在泄漏人员各自和隐私,因此承诺将加强供应商的网安标准,确保人员个资的安全。
