The right of freedom of religion must be reconciled with "the right of the State to employ the sovereign power to ensure peace, security and orderly living without 3 which constitutional guarantee of civil liberty would be a mockery" (Commissioner, HRE v LT Swamiar AIR 1954 SC 282). The sovereignty, integrity and unity of Singapore are undoubtedly the paramount mandate of the Constitution and anything, including religious beliefs and practices, which tend to run counter to these objectives must be restrained. In Chee Siok Chin v. Minister for Home Affairs [2005], it was further mentioned that "the legislative power to circumscribe the rights conferred by Art 14 of the Constitution is, inter alia, delineated by what is 'in the interest of public order' and not confined to 'the maintenance of public order'. This is a much wider legislative remit that allows Parliament to take a preventive approach in the maintenance of public order. This will include laws that are not purely designed or crafted for the immediate or direct maintenance of public order

    When called to resolve these conflicts, the courts usually relied on the Parliament in order to minimize the potential ambiguity of a proceeding law as a result of repealing or amending any laws. In turn, Parliament could interpret the Bill of Rights narrowly and infringe on our fundamental rights. In fact, the scope of the Bill of Rights is so limited that the courts only ever nullified a contradictory law once in the famous R. v. Drybones case (1969). In this case, the Supreme Court ruled section 94(b), which prohibited Aboriginals from being intoxicated off reserves was inoperative because this section was deemed to contravene the section 1(b), equality before law clause, of the Bill of Rights. With the exception of this case, however, no other federal law was shut down (Questions our judicial review system).
