The 1st of the 6 CPF protest protesters, who are being charged by the government for their roles in a Hong Lim Park protest rally on 27 Sep last year, pleaded guilty on Monday. 43 year-old Chua Siew Leng (second from right) was fined $300 by District Judge John Ng, on account of her "very early" guilty plea, minor role in the protest and because she has no prior criminal record. She could have been fined up to $1,000.

Roy has asked to meet with the children and parents to apologise to them. This is the right thing to do. I met Roy several weeks ago. He is a thoughtful individual and no one should believe that he intentionally targeted his or the group's actions at the children who were performing that afternoon. It is important, nevertheless, that both he and Hui Hui offer an apology to the children.
