举印有笑脸纸张遭警传召问话 网友呼吁声援黄国光
为在阻断措施期间展示对本地小贩的支持,行动党义顺集选区议员黄国光在去年6月手拿一张写着“支持他们”(Support Them)和画有笑脸的A4纸张,与小贩合照。
然而,他的行为却被质疑可能抵触《公共秩序法》,属于无准证在共公共场所集会。警方也证实已传召黄国光问话协助调查。
一方有难,八方来援,只因为举着印有笑脸的纸张,就可能触法,一些网友也非议此事“荒唐”,也直言究竟黄国光拿着一张纸,如何“危害公共秩序”?
“他只不过要表达在艰难时期对小贩的支持,看不出这有什么问题。”
也有网友Joshua Chiang表示:“与黄国光同在”,呼吁他人也一起透过小小举动,拿起支持黄国光的标语牌,声援后者。
对此事,黄国光也在个人脸书澄清,去年6月仍是阻断措施,自己到小贩中心走访,也举起标语牌与小贩合照。他也指更早前在去年1月,自己在一段短片中举起标语牌,为首个气候暖化动议作宣传,不过气候暖化的字样是在较后用特效加上去的。

回溯去年3月28日,社运份子范国瀚在大巴窑中民众俱乐部(Toa Payoh Central CC)正对面,展示一张画着笑脸的卡片。他也为此被起诉涉违反公共秩序法第七条文。
尽管范国瀚认为,说出真相从来都不应被当成犯法;但是,新加坡驻美国大使米尔普里(Ashok Kumar Mirpuri),却指责范国瀚在违禁区域以及未申请准证的情况下,进行“集会”,为此触犯了公共秩序法。
“范国瀚大可在演说者角落履行他表达政见的权益,或者刊载他的观点。他也可申请准证。但他没有,如果他选择触法,那么我们就必须执法。”
