60. Minister or Commissioner of Police or Deputy Commissioner of Police may require any officer in command of troops to disperse unlawful assembly
Feedback & supportLast amended by an amending law of 2018.
When the Minister or the Commissioner of Police or a Deputy Commissioner of Police determines to disperse any such assembly by military force, he or she may require any commissioned or non‑commissioned officer in command of any sailors, soldiers or airmen in the Singapore Armed Forces to disperse the assembly by military force and to arrest and confine the persons forming part of it as the Minister or Commissioner of Police or the Deputy Commissioner of Police directs or as it may be necessary to arrest and confine in order to disperse the assembly or to have them punished according to law.
Every such officer must obey such requisition in such manner as he or she thinks fit, but in so doing he or she must use as little force and do as little injury to person and property as is consistent with dispersing the assembly and arresting and confining those persons.
