Last month, photos of a pride flag hung outside a third-floor Housing Board flat window were posted on Facebook page Complaint Singapore.
SINGAPORE: No laws in Singapore expressly forbid the display of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer pride flags in public, though there are restrictions on other flags such as those with communist symbols, lawyers told CNA.
The town council then apparently responded on Jul 20 that the police had advised the resident to remove the flag, also known as the rainbow flag. However, the flag was put up again, according to the Facebook post.It is unclear where exactly the flat was located. Pride month, which commemorates LGTBQ pride, typically falls in June.
The definition of “foreign national emblem” under the Act also covers"the flag, banner or other emblem of any political organisation claiming to be a national movement in any state”, as well as “any likeness or resemblance however reproduced of any national leader or former national leader of any state or the leader or former leader of any such political organisation”, said Mr Ng Yuan Siang from Eugene Thuraisingam LLP.
He added that for example, displaying a flag may breach a condominium’s by-laws, which are stipulations residents need to abide by and that vary from condo to condo. A police officer then advised her that she could consider removing the flag, considering that it was displayed in a prominent manner and prone to acts of mischief since it was on the ground floor.Aside from this, the lawyers pointed out other restrictions for flags of social or political movements which are unrelated to foreign national movements.
