According to Yahoo News titled "Changi Airport police dealt with rowdy travellers professionally: police", some 159 China tourists who are taking Hong Kong Airlines had protested at Changi Airport, Singapore.
The Singapore Police Force (SPF) says Auxiliary and Airport police were found to have discharged their duties professionally after a group of Chinese national travellers claimed that they were assaulted by the officers at Changi Airport on Tuesday.
The Chinese passengers on Hong Kong Airlines were on a protest after a nine hour delay of their flight back to Hong Kong from Singapore. A woman from the group claimed that the police had "assaulted" them and threatened them with their guns and handcuffs, Apple Daily reported.
SPF said, in a statement, that they received a call for assistance from a customer service officer from Changi Airport Terminal 2.
They were informed that there was "rowdy boisterous behaviour" from the group of frustrated passengers over the amount of compensation from the airline for the flight delay.
After reviewing the CCTV footage, SPF confirmed that the Auxiliary Police officers present at the scene "did not use a trolley to push it into the group".
The footage also revealed that "the rowdy passengers had indeed obstructed the path of other passengers and were causing a public nuisance".
"A female Auxiliary Police officer was in fact, seen drawing her handcuffs when a section of the group began to taunt her. Both Auxiliary and Airport Police officers discharged their duties professionally in restoring order and have ensured that airport operations at the terminal were not interrupted," said the statement.
Passengers continued to protest after landing in Hong Kong
The protest continued even after the passengers landed at Hong Kong airport at 5.30am on Wednesday, reported CNN.
80 passengers refused to alight the plane and staged a plane sit-in, on Hong Kong Airlines flight 752, demanding the airline to increase the compensation offer of $66 (HK$400) per passenger.
59 passengers accepted the offer and left the aircraft at 9am but 21 passengers continued to protest until 1.30pm when the airline raised the compensation to $200 (HK$1200) each.
Putting aside the accusation towards the Singapore Police Force, one weird thing is that it is illegal to protest in Singapore without permit.
These travellers were not being arrested for doing it in big group and even tried to tarnish the police's reputation. Singapore citizens who had tried to protest in public would have been taken away by the police force within half an hour. One example of a Singaporean being arrested for public protesting is Dr Chee Soon Juan.

anything. In Singapore this group receive small token and when reach Hong Kong they protest again by not leaving the plane. So they get a better bargin in H.K. and started to abuse Singapore for no reason. Nothing can please them but only money. At my prime age and like to give this group of PRG tourist- GO? TO HELL AND NEVER COME BACK

As a Singaporean, I find this incident very amazing and no taste at all. Was this delay due to our fault or H.K. airline? Is a wake up call to our country citizen of this China ppl. attitude and a reminder to our gorvenment. Only one thing can settle their frustation is money.(PRC money face) I like to warn and remind them, Singapore does not belong to them. If China ppl are so great, why come to Singapore to work and? settle here. Shouting, telling half true and talk rubbish does not prove......

THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS THAT POLICE OFFICERS WILL NEVER THREATEN TO PULL THEIR REVOLVERS OUT UNLESS THEY THEMSELVES ARE UNDER THREAT. DUMB CHINA PIGS. IF THAT"S THE CASE, IT'S EITHER YOU CHINA? PIGS WERE THREATENING AND THE POLICE OFFICERS FELT THEIR LIVES WERE THREATENED OR YOU GUYS ARE JUST MAKING UP STORIES TO TARNISH THE WONDERFUL REPUTATION THAT SINGAPORE AIRPORT HAS. FURTHERMORE IT SHOWED HOW UNCOUTH AND LOWLY OF YOU CHINA PIGS, ALWAYS MAKING HEADLINES FOR THE WRONG REASONS..

@dumbgoat Well said, our police officer will not do that unless provoked. PRCs are just cheapo, they started it first and should have been swiftly dealt with by arresting them. Our police are trying very much to be democratic? but what they want is not justice but money.
