Long Kong Public Order Ordinence 1967
The Reform Club of Heng Zong submitted a petition to Parliament
about this legislation. This was tabled on 12 December and reference
may be ande to it.
The purpose of the Ordinaros is to consolidate into one measure 2
the various provisions dealing with public order and to strengthen the
law where experience bae shown thêu to be desin: ble.
This is not a lurried piece of legislation arising from the
disturbances in Reag Rong this year! motive work on its preparetion
has bean in progress for at least two years prior to its eneotaent.
There rere alterations to take account of the exserience gaired during
recent months, but the ordinence is not designed for dealing with
emergencies. Of the considerable amount of emergency legislation which
it has been necessary to introduce since May, the only ocergency
regulations which have been incorporated in the ordinance are those
dealing with. the offences of intimidation and intimidating assembly.
These offences have been powerful weapons in the hands of the local
Com unists in the overcrowded conditions of lang Kong.
It is true that these particular provisions are based on
Southern Khodesia law, but it should be noted that the law in question
was enacted in 1960 (1.e. long before the unileteral declaration of
independence in that country).
