 While the Minister for Home Affairs must be satisfied that a detention order is required in the interests of public safety, peace and good order in Singapore, it does not follow
that the threat to public safety, peace and good order must result from criminal activities in Singapore.Within 28 days of a detention order being made, the Minister must refer the order and a statement of the grounds upon which the order was made to an advisory committee.Neither the Minister nor any other public servant is required to disclose facts which he considers to be against the public interest to disclose.
