Guns, Explosives and Weapons Control Act 2021 s 65

s 65 How security direction is given

65.—(1) A security direction is binding on the person or class of persons to whom it is addressed and given. (2) A security direction that is addressed to a person is sufficiently given if it is served in the manner prescribed in section 84. (3) A security direction that is addressed to a class of persons is sufficiently given if it is —(a) served on each of the persons in the class in the manner prescribed in section 84; or (b) published both —(i) in a daily newspaper circulating in Singapore or in any other news media that, in the opinion of the Licensing Officer, is most likely to bring the security direction to the attention of the persons who belong to the class; and (ii) on a prescribed website. (4) Once such a security direction is made and given under this section, the Licensing Officer must also publish the making of the direction in a manner that the Licencing Officer thinks will secure adequate publicity for the fact of making and giving of the security direction. (5) However, failure to publish a security direction under subsection (4) does not invalidate the direction. (6) Subject to anything provided to the contrary in a security direction, the security direction that is given —(a) in accordance with subsection (2) takes effect when it is served; (b) in accordance with subsection (3)(a) takes effect when it is served on all the persons in the class in question; and (c) in accordance with subsection (3)(b) takes effect at the beginning of the day after the date on which subsection (3)(b) has been complied with.
