How does the Criminal Law (Temporary Provisions) Act - which provides for suspected criminals to be detained without trial - help to keep you and I safe?
The CLTPA remains a key legislative tool which is highly effective in suppressing secret society activity.
Inspector Eric Toh, an investigation officer from the Secret Societies Branch said:
“Secret society members are aware of the CLTPA, and it helps us keep them at bay. If not, they will cause much more problems; and influence much more people to join their gangs."
Keeping CLDs locked up means witnesses can come forward knowing they are safe, said Mr Toh.
“During investigations, we need to call up witnesses to tell us what actually happened. With the Act, witnesses don’t have to be in fear and can come give us the evidence we need,” he outlined.
“We are then able to incarcerate the suspect, and this helps keep the secret society situation under control. This is why we have the CLTPA.”
