Singaporean activists organised a candlelight vigil at Hong Lim Park yesterday evening to show their support for the protesters in Hong Kong.

About 300 people turned up to the event with many people holding candles and singing Cantonese songs.
A banner was placed up at the park reading “Singapore in Solidarity with Hong Kong” which also had a picture of an umbrella.

Many attendees at the vigil also brought along an umbrella and some were also seen flipped in a similar fashion to those at the Hong Kong protests used to defend against tear gas.

Participants came dressed in the protest colours with black clothes and yellow ribbons.
Some police were seen at the area early on and they reminded the organisers that it will illegal for foreigners to be participating without getting a police permit.

In accordance with the reminder, organisers announced at the start of the gathering that foreigners were not allowed to be there.

Here are some photos of the vigil:
