If NSFs have a requirement to behave themselves in Public.

What makes Mil-Sim costumers, exempt from Public scrutiny ?

Just because costumers are NOT real Soldiers, does not mean they are exempt ( AKA "Get out of Jail Free card" ) of such strictures.


What I am driving the point; this is a hobby that requires us to behave with dignity not debase ourselves with reckless / irresponsible  antics.

This is not the hobby to unleash the "Psychopath, Nutcase, Loony Bin, Animal or Beast" in you !

A classic example.

[recon]

Dun mind me for being blunt, but my general feel is that the generation today kinda lacks responsibility and discipline....in addition, the general public also like to kick up a big fuss over nothing...i have seen career fairs, it shows and book fairs, where the premises is littered with rubbish and pamphlets everywhere and yet noone makes a fuss out of it. Double standards i would say. My point is ..if you want to hoist an event, then be prepared to clean up the mess afterards cos there are bound to be inconsiderate ppl around

POOR EVENT MANAGEMENT !!! 

Well organised event not just about line-up of good program.  Crowd control/management  is also essential and a big subject as it includes understanding of society behavour and needs/wants.

Thumb down for the organiser.   

[ImmaTERRARIST]

thumbs down for the kids that litter.

my parents made a big fuss about me littering. So yes I don't litter and I consider it my civic duty to not do so. Besides, how hard is it to put thrash in a bag to dispose of later.

The only barrier they had to cross was that in their mind.

Do you think that space filled with litter (level 3?) is part of the event space. I always wondered because be it STGCC or AFA, I think the event organizer only paid for the convention halls and not the entire suntec convention centre.

Cosplayers just take it for granted because there is a event, the entire
vicinity becomes their playground.

 

[staromega]

Still that I consider as poor event management.  

Is there sign board or marshal to direct and manage the participant or crowd?

Is there place allocated for cosplayer to dress up or prepare their things or even ensure their belonging is safe?

If the place no trepassing, fence it up.  

Wanna control littering, where is the rubbish bin?

etc etc That not in place, how not to take for granted.  


Anyway, event over la lets move on.  Hopefully next event become better. 

[DarkEonZ]

I agree with staromega. On Fri, I was queuing to go for one of the concerts, no idea where the queue was, beginning and end of line unknown, no rubbish bin anywhere... And usually there was enough space outside the hall for cosplayers. Apparently, AFA's deco extended into the outside space too :/ Juz hope they settle these issues next event.

i totally agree! a lot of teens nowadays got bad upbringing.... dont know what their parents are doing. -.- luckily my parents taught me well XD

[randomtrader....]

Inside the event halls have some,but still,i think the people are to be blamed, i thought they are supposed to stay inside,not ouside..

[staromega]

Who to inform/enforce staying inside or outside?  the event management .

bad upbringing good upbringing ... haha what's up with that.  Familiar to me is mod behaviour, kind of social behaviour when there is group/gang gathering without the present of law & order.

That's what's worrysome haha. From a social psychologist point of view..Having a group of teenagers donning costumes will lead to mass deindivualisation. Coupled with polarisation of thoughts that will lead them to acting more brazen and extreme, doing things they normally wouldn't. In this case, they would be more likely to challenge authorities if there is one bad egg in the group. One person will suggest anti social behaviour and the rest of the group will tend to agree to stay 'in group', all part of impression management. 

How to resolve it? Dunno Maybe like star say, better event management with more rules and boundaries?

Excellent observation !

I rike that idea.

[AshLikeSnow]

This is like..... Killing the whole population on a ship just because of one person.... Teenagers nowadays needs to learn more about manners and conduct...

[staromega]

To me Teens has been like that,  some say even worst now.

Now you all understand why Toy God painstakingly stating all the rules in the forum.

The list is getting longer and longer thou....

Minister for Information, Communications and the Arts Dr Yaacob Ibrahim said Tuesday that laws are in place to deal with anyone who conduct subversive activites online or through other means.

This is regardless whether the person conducting these activites is a local or a foreigner.

Dr Yaacob was responding to a question asked by Pasir Ris-Punggol Member of Parliament (MP) Gan Thiam Poh on what measures there were to prevent foreigners from interfering in Singapore's politics and affecting domestic stability through social media.

He explained that groups involved in the discussion of political issues can be gazetted under the Political Donations Act as political associations.

This prevents them from receiving funds from and falling under the influence of foreigners seeking to use them as platforms to subvert Singapore's political processes.

Secondly, if a foreigner uses social media to stir up ill-will and hostility amongst different racial and religious groups in Singapore, or to spread seditious materials, this could constitute a prosecutable offence under the Sedition Act and/or Penal Code.

Thirdly, the Broadcasting Act and its Regulations give the Media Development Authority (MDA) the power to order websites to take down specific pieces of content that breach the Broadcasting Act Class Licence.

These include content which are against the public interest, public order or national harmony.

The Class License may be cancelled or suspended if MDA's orders are not obeyed. The offender may also be prosecuted.

But Dr Yaacob added that the government recognises that Internet use and behaviour are evolving.

Hence, there is the need to constantly review whether the regulations that Singapore has in place are adequate.


Please be mindful on postings.

We do not wanna drink "Ali Cafe" or  "Gold Kili" @ Cops' place.

Any known character who tries to stir Crap or starts to talk about whatever protests at whatever local venue will get a Total Ban.

Use of martial arts weapons not allowed in public, says Town Council



STOMPer Mr David was concerned about a group of people practising martial arts with real weapons at an open court in Bedok. The East Coast Town Council has replied to say that this is not allowed.

A spokesperson from the East Coast Town Council says:

"East Coast Town Council did not grant any permission to the group to practice their martial arts in the open court.

"Together with the Police, the Town Council staff visited the site last Friday evening on Nov 25.

"The Police conducted the investigation and there were no law issues or nuisance caused. We have advised the group that if they would like to hold regular practice sessions at the open court, they have to get the approval from the Town Council. We have also told them that the usage of any martial arts weapons is prohibited.

"We thank STOMPer Mr David for his post.

"Residents with any feedback on issues of the estate can call us at 1800 444 9549, or email us at ectcnet@ectc.org.sg."


The above will clear any issue of "showing off" whatever weapons be it real or not in public.

Unless one has a reason like part of costume ensemble / prop/ joining a costume related event.

Do not try to show your piece for no particular reason other the
"Satki or Not sio ? "

That is not say it is disallowed but if one wants to, please do it in a friend's home or own's home or in an Indoor premises.

[staromega]

Hmmm... not so sure about this.  Every Sunday I got a senior untie always practice chinese sword below my block... to me, like in China, morning in the park, many do their excerise incl. martial art.

Then few blocks away, there is a group of senior citizen train martial art using chinese Fan as weapon ... also dangerous?

May be it is a matter of perception?  Kids without supervision, make loud noise during practice, conduct themselves not appropriately etc.  Wonder who is the Master for this group of boys.

[randomtrader....]

IMO, if they practice it every sunday,they are consistent with the time they do it,and people know that this is the routine and are out of public's eye,then i think it should not be much of a problem,but if once in a blue moon you appear out of nowhere,wielding weapons and only a handful of people,then i think it is only right that they just be on their way..
