Six charged over participation in unlawful assemblies

She was previously issued a stern warning on Sept 18, 2026, over a public assembly held outside the State Courts on Feb 3, 2025.

Lim, an actor, is accused of taking part in the same assembly outside the State Courts on Feb 3, 2025. Neo – who is married to Lim – and Han are facing the same charge.

In a Sept 27 statement, the police said that Han was previously given penalties including stern warnings and a 12-month conditional warning over a number of offences.

These were for taking part in a public procession at the Ministry of Home Affairs in June 2024, her involvement in public assemblies without a permit in July 2017, March 2022 and April 2022, and for obstruction of justice in March 2022 and April 2022.

Annamalai was handed one charge for her alleged participation in the Feb 3, 2025 assembly outside the State Courts.

She is already facing a separate charge for failing to comply with a correction direction on Oct 6, 2024. This case is set to go to trial on Oct 7.

Annamalai was previously handed a $3,000 fine and issued a 24-month conditional warning for organising public processions to the Istana without a permit in June 2017 and January 2021, as well as on Feb 2, 2024.

Lawyer Derek Wong, who appeared on behalf of five of the six, sought an adjournment of four weeks.

He asked for his clients to be released without bail, saying they are facing offences that carry fines. The lawyer sought a personal bond for them instead.

Howe, who was unrepresented, also asked for a personal bond instead of bail.

All six had their requests denied by District Judge Wong Peck, who set bail at $5,000 for each of them.

Those found guilty of organising or participating in such public assemblies without a proper permit can be fined up to $10,000 or jailed for up to six months.

All six will have their cases heard in court again on Oct 20.
