About 2 weeks ago, I blogged about writing in to the police to ask if we need to apply for a police permit for our planned Vote18 Campaign.
Shortly after (I must say, quite efficiently), I received an email in response to the email I wrote, and also a friendly phone call from someone at Central Police Station to find out more about our intended activities. I explained that we were planning for survey outreaches and petition outreaches, and he advised that I would need to apply for a permit under the “Other Assembly” category.
Once I confirmed the date and locations for our outreaches, I proceeded to the online application at spf.gov.sg to make the application. It was an easy enough form to fill in, but somehow the fields do not allow me to put in enough information to give a good picture of what we are planning. The officer told me that they will contact me again after I submitted the application. The application was submitted yesterday, and the site told me it will take 7 working days, so I will keep my fingers crossed again.
