Nine of the participants of the Merlion Park protest on May 8 have been warned, and their work and visit passes in Singapore are being reviewed, announced the Police today (May 10).

The protesters had gathered dressed in black on May 8 at the park near One Fullerton holding placards with messages about the Malaysia elections.

The demonstration was timed to coincide with a massive rally in Kuala Lumpur organised by the Malaysian opposition in protest of the what they allege to be fraud-marred results of the country’s May 5 general election.

The Police have also said that that the employers of the nine are being informed of the situation, and that further investigations are ongoing.
