内政部高级政务次长孙雪玲,今日在国会提呈《维持宗教和谐法》修正案一读,修正草案将扩大限制令(RO)权限,可勒令在社交媒体的煽动性内容撤下,以及对违反宗教和谐条例的人发出限制令,可立即生效。

目前,在政府发出意向通知的14天后,限制令才能发挥效用。

与此同时,内政部有意透过修正案限制外国势力干预,包括限制本地宗教团体领袖必须是新加坡人或永久居民,而这些团体接受“国外”捐献超过一万新元,也必须向政府申报。

此外,推出社区关系修复措施,旨在让那些对其他宗教社群造成伤害的人,公开或私下道歉,或参加跨宗教活动,希望藉此减少紧张关系。

《维持宗教和谐法》(MRHA)是在30年前立法。上周,总理李显龙透露将在国会推出该法修法草案,希望藉此让政府能有效应对和宗教议题相关的威胁。
