Gamingdeputy reported on May 4 that according to the official public account of the “Chinese Embassy in Singapore”, a Chinese citizen flew a drone near the Singapore Parliament Building in order to record a “wonderful moment” during his trip to Singapore and was taken away by the Singapore police. to assist in the investigation and have an impact on his subsequent itinerary. In view of this, the Chinese Embassy in Singapore reminds tourists coming to New China and citizens in New China to enhance their legal awareness and not to fly drones at will.
The Chinese Embassy in Singapore stated that according to the relevant regulations of the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore, without a flight permit,It is illegal to operate drones in restricted areas, including airports and government sites.users should check relevant local laws and regulations before flying drones for overseas travel.
