Yes, a friend and myself were there when the protest took place. It was quite an eye opener considering that none of us have ever seen a real life demonstration - at least not in spanking clean Singapore.

Apparently the Casinos here will be the first places in Singapore to break the "No Smoking in Buildings" law. Legally.
