THE police are investigating whether a parliamentarian broke a strict public order law after he held a placard that called for support for local food businesses, local media reported.

Lawmaker Louis Ng posted four pictures on Facebook last June of himself with hawkers at a food centre, holding a piece of paper that read “support them” followed by a smiley face.
