Section 4

When issuing a licence the Commissioner may, without prejudice to any other conditions which he may impose under the provisions of subsection (1) of section 4, make such licence effective in any one place or in several places specifically named or covering the whole of Sabah and upon any particular day or series of days or may, if he thinks fit, make it effective over an indefinite period provided that in such cases he may restrict the use of the licence to a particular month or to particular months of each year or to any particular number of occasions annually without reference to specific dates.

In order to prevent the occurrence of more than one public collection at any one period in any one district the Commissioner may, when issuing a licence in the manner set out in sub-regulation (1) of this regulation, require the promoter or chief collector to give notice in writing to the Officer-in-Charge of Police District of the district in which he proposes to hold a public collection of the date upon which such collection is to be held, and such notice shall be given not less than 14 days before the proposed date of such collection.

3

Upon receipt of such notice in writing the Officer-in-Charge of Police District may, if a licence has already been granted to any person to hold a public collection in the same district for the same or any similar purpose during the same period, require the person giving such notice to alter the date of such proposed collection.
