120 Refusal to give name and residence

183.—(1) Any inspector or authorised person may arrest any person whom he reasonably believes has committed a non-seizable offence under this Act in order that his name or residence may be ascertained, if that person—

 * (b) gives a name or residence which the inspector or authorised person has reason to believe to be false; or
 * (c) gives as his residence a place not within Singapore.

(2) Any person arrested under subsection (1) shall, within 24 hours from the arrest or immediately in the case of a person who gives his residence as a place outside Singapore, be taken before a Magistrate’s Court, unless before that time his true name and residence are ascertained, in which case he shall be immediately released on his executing a bond with or without sureties before a police officer not below the rank of inspector for his appearance before a Magistrate’s Court, if so required.

(3) When any person is taken before a Magistrate’s Court, the Court may either require him to execute a bond with or without a surety for his appearance before a Magistrate’s Court if so required, or may order him to be detained in custody until he can be tried.
