If its near those empty old houses...perhaps "they" (those gurkhas on patrol from their camp) won't allow it. Many times i have seen portrait photographers getting stopped and chased away from those houses.
Maybe they have strict orders to chase away people from going too near the old base camp? I am not surprised, since they have patrols on the roads in the whole area, like almost every 20 minutes? :bsmilie:
ah ok coz someone told me they were shooting at dempsey and someone came and told them they needed a permit to shoot there and there's supposed to be a website that you have to go to to apply to shoot in singapore....

i believe that their orders are clear and they will follow them

In my personal view (which you can rely on at your own risk/detriment), the MRT station, being a privately owned place, has the right to impose any conditions for you being on the premises, including banning photography.
If however, there are no signs, you can claim that you have no notice of such a rule, and when they inform you of the rule on the spot, all you need to do is to leave. You do not have to surrender your camera or delete any images.
Any attempt to restrain you or snatch your camera or forcefully delete the photos, may render the MRT staff legally liable for both civil and criminal penalties.
This is by the way, quite different if you are standing on a public road and taking photographs OF an MRT station, as opposed to being INSIDE the MRT station.
Aiya so many times pple say that you need this and that permit. Whether real or not they don't care - they just want to protect their interests.

actually i beg to differ. one day, in sheer boredom while waiting for a friend, i actually read through the whole board of mrt by-laws and photography was one of the no-nos.
