RadX Moderator April 18, 2013 Share April 18, 2013 Not from us. But a good lesson to watch the posts as the gahmen is WATCHING Singapore's Attorney-General Chambers (AGC) has issued a take-down letter and demanded an apology from several websites over posts which it said cast doubt on the judiciary's integrity. PHOTOS Supreme Court prevENLARGEnext SINGAPORE: The Attorney-General Chambers (AGC) has issued take-down letters and demanded apologies from several websites over posts which it said cast doubt on the judiciary's integrity in a case involving a China national. The websites and Facebook pages involved had suggested that a Singapore court had been lenient to Yuan Zhenghua, 31, who hijacked a taxi last year and crashed it into the driveway of Changi Airport's budget terminal, killing a Malaysian airport worker. Yuan, a technician, was sentenced by a district court to 25 months in jail Monday. Singaporeans took to Internet websites and Facebook pages to criticise the verdict, prompting the AGC to issue letters asking for an apology and that the postings be taken down. A spokesman for the AGC said the online comments and postings had accused the court of bias in favour of the China national. "These comments include allegations that the courts did not wish to offend the People's Republic of China, that Singaporeans would get heavier sentences in comparison, that the judge lacked integrity, and that leniency was shown," the spokesman said. "These and similar comments pose a real risk that public confidence in the administration of justice would be undermined." The spokesman added that the online comments ignored the fact that the court took into account Yuan's "psychotic disorder" in its decision. The AGC also stressed that editors, administrators and moderators of websites have the responsibility to ensure that comments and posts on their sites are not contemptuous. While the AGC did not identify the websites involved, the administrators of Facebook page "EDMW loves Singapore" put up an apology for committing an "act of contempt of court" in its posts about Yuan and said it had taken them down. The government says attacks on the judiciary will undermine public confidence in the institution. In July last year, the AGC also sent a letter to prominent Singaporean blogger Alex Au after he alleged in a post that the city-state's courts are biased in favour of the well-connected. In 2010, a Singapore court jailed British author Alan Shadrake for six weeks for publishing a book critical of the city-state's administration of the death penalty. - AFP/CNA/jc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustank Hypersonic April 19, 2013 Share April 19, 2013 (edited) A timely reminder to all please exercise discretion in what you post online. http://sg.news.yahoo.com/religious--racial...-074716875.html Singapore may have made great strides since racially-driven violence marred its early years, but its people have yet to be completely free of racism, says Law and Foreign Affairs Minister K Shanmugam. Speaking in a recent wide-ranging interview with Yahoo! Singapore, the minister shared his views on racism among Singaporeans, particularly in the aftermath of the incident involving former NTUC membership assistant director Amy Cheong early last month.

Alpha78 6th Gear April 19, 2013 Share April 19, 2013 liddat next time NDP can shout at the VIP section "idiot" boh salah right??? Different hor. K Sham is saying that in the context of individuals (including politicians ), but if you say anything that hints of loss of judicial integrity, that's contempt of court or perversion of justice.
