Protest in Singapore? Really?
Photo from Yahoo news website
Found this on Yahoo News:
"Riot police broke up a rare demonstration by four people demanding greater transparency and accountability in Singapore's state-managed pension fund and other government-linked agencies.
A dozen anti-riot police wearing helmets and knee-high protective gear and carrying shields and batons formed a phalanx outside the offices of the Central Provident Fund (CPF) as a commanding officer approached the demonstrators."

There must have been some sort of implicit approval by the authorities for this to happen. Maybe a stupid pre-election stunt.
Oh yeah, and I bet the protective gear worn by the riot police was just in case they get paper cuts from the transparency, which is what the right-most protester seems to be holding up.
