A Chinese tourist flew a drone near the Parliament Building and was taken away by the police for investigation. The Chinese Embassy in Singapore issued a document reminding citizens to abide by my country's drone operation regulations.

The Chinese Embassy in Singapore posted on its WeChat official account on Wednesday (May 1): "A few days ago, a Chinese citizen flew a drone near the Parliament Buildings of Singapore in order to record a "wonderful moment" during his trip to Singapore. He was arrested by the New Zealand police. Take him away to assist in the investigation and have an impact on his subsequent journey.”

The Chinese Embassy in Singapore also reminded Chinese tourists visiting our country and Chinese citizens in our country to enhance their legal awareness and not to fly drones at will.

 

According to the law, it is illegal to operate a drone within certain areas, such as within five kilometers of an airport or air force base, within a restricted area, a protected area, or to fly at an altitude of 200 feet above sea level without a permit. Violators may be fined up to $50,000, jailed for up to two years, or both.

Data released by the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore in April this year shows that the authorities took enforcement actions against 309 incidents of illegal use of drones in 2023. Among them, eight people and seven companies were charged in court, with fines ranging from 4,000 yuan to 4,000 yuan. 5,000 yuan.
