MEDIA RELEASE 11 JANUARY 2005

Police Advisory To The Public Attending Tiger Cup Matches On 15 & 16 January 2005


The Tiger Cup 2004 3rd and 4th place match between Malaysia and Myanmar will be held at the Jalan Besar Stadium on 15 Jan 05. This will be followed by the second-leg match of the finals on 16 Jan 05 between Singapore and Indonesia at the National Stadium.


Police are deeply concerned by the behaviour of some fans at Sunday’s (2 Jan 05) semi-final second leg match between Singapore and Myanmar. The unruly behaviour of people at the National Stadium marred the recent game and could have escalated into unnecessary violence. Police would like to remind the public that whilst they are enjoying the match and the excitement, they should not take the law into their own hands and behave in an unruly manner. Following Sunday’s match, Police have charged three persons in court for acting rashly and causing hurt to a public servant. We will not hesitate to take action against others who engage in senseless acts of hooliganism.


All event organizers are reminded that they are responsible for the safety and security of the public as well as law and order at such events. This will not only contribute to the overall success of the event but prevent any injury or damage. Police are working closely with FAS and CISCO to ensure that the last two games in the Tiger Cup 2004 will be conducted in a safe and enjoyable manner for all fans who come to support their teams.
