Re: Illegal actions and brutality of Singapore police

Probably they suspect that MS is hiding there and having a sauna.

On April 25, 2008, the police raided a sauna to conduct a "spot-check",
reportedly without a warrant. Below is a release from sauna, Club One
Seven:


Dear members,

Our water supply was turned off at 10pm on the 25th April 2008, Saturday.
When we opened the back door to investigate and turn it back on, a few
plain-clothed officers from the CID rushed in. Sam immediately tried to
stop them and demanded to know what was going on. They told him that they
were conducting a 'spot-check'. When asked what they were checking for,
they simply repeated 'spot-check'. the officers refused to specify what
they were checking for despite repeated demands. Sam also asked if they
had a warrant to check the premises. They refused to reply.

At this point in time, we turned on all the lights upstairs and downstairs
to alert the members that a check was going on. None of the members were
stopped from dressing or leaving, nor were they searched or any
particulars taken.

When a female officer tried to enter, Sam repeatedly shouted that she was
not allowed to enter as we are a private men's club and insisted that she
leave. Thereupon, the supervising officer threw Sam to the ground and
twisted his arms behind his back to handcuff him. Because of this, Sam
sustained cuts to his wrist and bruises on his left rib, for which he was
later brought to the Singapore General Hospital for treatment.

The officers only removed several DVDs and Sam was arrested and spent the
night in jail. He has been charged with assaulting (pushing) the officer
that handcuffed him despite never having laid hands upon him. Sam is 74
years old. The officer was about 40.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused and will give a free return
visit to anyone who was here when the incident occurred - just tell the
front desk.

We are open for business as usual for our 8TH YEAR from 11:30am to 11:30pm
on weekdays and from 11:30am till 7am the following day on Fridays and
Saturdays.

Club One Seven.
