In Singapore, three activists—Annamalai Kokila Parvathi, Siti Amirah Mohamed Asrori, and Mossammad Sobikun Nahar—organized an unauthorized rally urging people to petition the prime minister to sever ties with Israel. Leading about 70 participants from Orchard Road to the presidential compound in February, they defied the authorities' warnings against public protests regarding the Gaza conflict, advocating instead for dialogue and donations. Singaporean law prohibits assemblies supporting foreign causes without permits, punishable by fines up to S$10,000 or six months' imprisonment. Despite Singapore's defense ties with Israel, it supports Palestinian interests and a two-state solution, aligning with recent UN ceasefire resolutions. The government maintains neutrality on the Gaza conflict, emphasizing social harmony and restraint from actions fostering division.
