The 41-year-old man who held protests at Raffles Place on two consecutive days was charged on the third day on Wednesday, July 5.

Yan Jun faces two charges of holding a public assembly without a permit.

On Monday, July 3, he allegedly held a placard which displayed words on one side calling for Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong to resign over a “Terrex conspiracy”, and on the other side, it said that there is “judicial corruption in the Supreme Court”.

He was offered bail after his arrest on Monday, but on Tuesday, he again allegedly held a similar demonstration and was detained after that.

Yan could face two other charges for unlawful demonstrations. These incidents took place on Oct. 20, 2016 at the United States Embassy, and on Dec. 23, 2016, at the British High Commission.

In June 2016, he was charged with taking part in two demonstrations against the Singapore judiciary, and was fined S$2,000 for one of the charges.

This stemmed from an incident in March last year where Yan was at Istana Park holding placards with the words, “No judiciary corruption in the Supreme Court of Singapore” in English, and “Protest against High Court of Singapore for miscarriage of justice” in Chinese.

In April, he did the same at High Street Centre along North Bridge Road.

The court heard that before Yan staged the first demonstration on Monday, he had emailed the police informing them of his plans.

He informed the police he did not intend to apply for a permit because the police “do not uphold justice” and are “corrupt”.

After his arrest on Monday, Yan refused to answer questions from the police.

Instead, he referred them to a video he had uploaded on YouTube on judicial corruption.

Based on the recent offences, Yan will be remanded at the Institute of Mental Health for two weeks for psychiatric observation and will appear in court on July 19.

As he is a repeat offender, he could face a maximum fine of S$5,000 for taking part in an illegal public assembly.
