SINGAPORE — Activist Gilbert Goh Keow Wah was fined a total of S$3,200 by a district court judge on Friday (Aug 19) for taking part in a
public assembly without a permit and refusing to sign a police statement.
However, the 60-year-old will be paying only S$2,000 — the penalty for his public assembly charge.
He opted to serve the default jail term of three days for his other offence.
He did not give a reason for not wanting to pay the remaining fine. The default jail term for the S$2,000 fine was seven days so he would have faced 10 days' jail had he declined to pay both of them.
It was not immediately clear if Goh started serving his jail term on Friday.

He was just holding up a sign
This is illegal in Singapore.
I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

Why is he being charged for 'public assembly'? Really got one group assembled to protest?
