Disturbing the peace in Singapore refers to any action that disrupts public order, causes fear, alarm, or annoyance to the public, or leads to the breach of the peace. Common examples include public brawls, excessive noise, violent behavior, and acts that incite fear or panic among the general public.
Penalties for Disturbing the Peace
Singapore has various laws in place to deal with individuals who disturb the peace. The penalties for such actions depend on the nature and severity of the offense.
1. Verbal Altercations
In less severe cases, such as verbal altercations, shouting, or using offensive language in public spaces, offenders may be charged with “using abusive language.” The penalty for this offense can include a fine of up to $2,000, a jail term of up to 6 months, or both.
2. Fighting in Public
Engaging in physical altercations or fighting in public is a more serious offense. Those involved may be charged with “affray” or “rioting,” which could lead to imprisonment for a term of up to 7 years.
3. Causing Public Nuisance
Actions that create public nuisance, like excessive noise, causing panic, or any behavior that disrupts public life, can be considered a criminal offense. Offenders may face a fine, imprisonment, or both, depending on the extent of the nuisance caused.
