SINGAPORE: A man who hung a placard around his neck to publicise a religious movement as he sat on a grass patch in Jurong has been fined S$1,000.

The placard displayed Chinese text about the Falungong movement, which when translated to English read: “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness, compassion, forbearance are good. Clean world network.”
