Heeheehee looks like MIW cannot tahan the heat generated by YOG. :biggrin:

They get a 'minority' representation in the GRC, and yet the 'minority' can not tahan their own 'minority'...

" to build a democratic society, based on Justice, so as to achive happines, prosperity & progress for our nation" in case we have forgotten the words to our pledge...

:p

Good observation. Not a fan of them but their actions is understandable, I'm not surprised they object to direct online confrontation of MPs.

I am not so sure this has approval from the top. Recently, there has been a lot of dissonance within the PAP. Ministers and even MPs have taken to what appears to be acting on their own rather than acting coherently as a party. Given the very high political risk of this action, I would not be altogether surprised if this did not get proper approval from the top leadership before it was carried out.

Ministers should not go on FB is they can't manage their own internet publicity relations. Celebrities in US have already been outsourcing their net PR to professionals. I'm surprised our million dollar ministers haven't thought of that.

Think the thread is very misleading. I just read the article, the guy was questioned by the police, yes but he wasn't arrested

Also he seem to have made some stupid remarks which included the words "rally together" and "burn" which doesn't exactly sound smart if we put it this way. THis was what caused the entire investigation in the first place. If anyone knows which comment the article is talking about please post it here

Are u retarded or what? The 1st line already says he was ARRESTED. Typical of you PAP ballsuckers, u all have selective amnesia. There is a difference between questioning and being arrested. If you are witnessed to a crime, the police can come to your residence and ask you for a statement. That is questioning. But when u are forced against your will to go to the police station, and they confiscate your laptop, u have been arrested. Got it?

There is nothing wrong with hating YOG or anything related to the PAP. The issue is that the phrase, “burn the minister” was used. Of course the PAPies are scared because one of their own, MP Ong Seng Heng, got burned by a Singaporean. TO us it may be trivial but the PAP ministers are really afraid of being hurt by the public. Of course, if they were real politicians out to help the people then they wouldn’t be so afraid but they seem only interested in other matters such as ensuring that FTs are well taken care off.

Don’t be afraid to speak your mind but be mindful of what you post especially words or phrases or sentences that may seem to incite violence towards a group of people who are paranoid.

As much as we want them to appreciate our feelings, let us also appreciate their paranoia at being burned or hurt which is their feelings. Let’s leave violence out of it. We have more ammunition using their own words against them.

Well said, the issue is the phrase "burn the minister" and "rally together" as seen in the following TR report.

Do not be afraid to speak up for your rights :smile:

This is the report from TR highlighting why Abdul Malik Mohammed Ghazali was arrested by Police.

YOG: Singaporean questioned by police over online remarks

August 25th, 2010 | Author: Your Correspondent
By Benson Ang, The New Paper, 25 August 2010

He had posted a number of comments on Facebook about the Youth Olympic Games (YOG).

But Mr Abdul Malik Mohammed Ghazali, 27, may have gone too far with a recent posting on a Facebook group which says it is against the organizing committee of the YOG because of several issues.

Unhappy with a series of incidents connected with the Games, Mr Malik allegedly said it was time to hold Dr Vivian Balakrishnan, the Minister for Community, Youth and Sports (MCYS), responsible.

Mr Malik was arrested by police yesterday and is being investigated for his online postings.

Mr Malik, a project executive with a construction company, told The New paper that three plain clothes police officers came to his workplace in Bukit merah at 11am yesterday.

He said over the phone: “The police took my statement. They were concerned with a comment I posted online and focused on certain words.”

He was referring to a posting made last Wednesday. It referred to a recent incident in which 21 YOG staff and volunteers suffered from food poisoning.

Mr Malik posted a comment written in capital letters saying that the incident showed it was time to “burn” the minister.

In the same posting, he also called on the public to “rally together”.

There is nothing wrong with using the phrase "rally together". The only phrase that made this an issue was "burn the minister". Let us be clear on this.
