Couple behind The Real Singapore charged under Sedition Act

A couple were charged with seven counts of sedition and another for failing to produce documents to a police officer on Tuesday.

Yang Kaiheng, 26, and his girlfriend, Australian Japanese Ai Takagi, 22, allegedly published seditious articles on sociopolitical website The Real Singapore between October 2013 and March this year.

Among the offending articles posted was one that claimed that a scuffle during the Thaipusam procession on Feb 3 has been sparked off by a Filipino family's complaint to police about noise from drummers.

yawn...............

Come to think about it... The Real Singapore and All Singapore Stuff used to have an admin by the name of “Mohd Farhan”. Guess “Mohd Farhan” must be either Kaiheng, Takagi or Melanie! ‪#‎ShutDownTRS‬ ‪#‎Singapore‬

These foreigners won't love Singapore like we do. We must be wiser than to let foreigners sow discord.

This what is an ex-TRS admin (Anyhowhantum) wrote on the matters of Farhan:
[e) The lies that is Farhan and article submissions
A favourite refrain when Malay users write in to complain about racist or unpleasant articles about Malays or Islam, is that the chief editor is one Muhammad Farhan. Now I don't know for sure if there was a Farhan at the beginning but there certainly isn't any Malay Editors on TRS for a long time, even now. Yet they were happy to create this persona to further their end to publish such articles and duped a lot of Malay readers, who also happen to form a bulk of their readership if not a majority.
Of course they can and have fooled some, and still do even today, but you cannot fool everyone. All is needed is a simple test - find me 1 Malay who has some say in TRS who would agree and accept the kind of articles they published questioning Islam? Until now, I've never found a single Malay who accepted such articles, even when moderating the comments, all were aghast at the underlying tones of the article. And their naivety was further shown when they created a fake FB profile for Farhan. Of all the photos to use as an ID, they chose 1 portraying satay! A Freudian slip there - satay while obviously having Malay roots would hardly figure as an image any normal Malay would use to reflect their culture. Go ask your Malay friends, how many if they were to use an image for an ID would consider satay? Farhan was and is a lie, and 1 in bad taste. I vehemently opposed this tactic and that spelt the end of my association with them.
The other major lie is user submission to a controversial topic. In order to justify such articles, TRS will routinely produce articles by users supporting such calls and defending them. Unfortunately I found little evidence of actual users sending such articles. It's clearly written by 1 of them or their associates. So it's hard to claim they are fair and balanced, and encourage public participation, when the fact remains that they too, are guilty of creating falsehoods to paint themselves in a better light or justify some of their controversial or highly irregular and improper actions.] - http://anyhowhantam.blogspot.sg/…/real-problems-for-real-si…

COUPLE CHARGED IN COURT OVER ALLEGEDLY 'SEDITIOUS' ARTICLES ON TRS



Post date:
14 Apr 2015 - 9:45am


A couple were charged in court today for Sedition over several articles posted on The Real Singapore.

Ai Takagi, 22, and Yang Kaiheng, 26, were each charged with 7 counts of sedition and 1 count of failing to comply with a police order.

The sedition offences are in relation to 6 different articles posted on The Real Singapore website and Facebook page between October 2013 and February 2015. While the final offence is in relation to a request for information by Police during investigations.

The couple are accused of promoting "ill will" between different classes of people in Singapore, namely Singaporeans and Foreigners.
Below is a full list of the articles and the specific statements contained within, which are allegedly seditious according to the charge sheets served formally by the police:

(1st Charge) VIDEO: LOCAL SINGAPOREANS COMPLAIN OF POLICE BRUTALITY AT THAIPUSAM PROCESSION (Published 4 Feb 2015)
Specifically, the following part of the article is allegedly seditious:
- The mistaken reference to a Pinoy Family having caused this incident.
This article is a report compiled completely based on witness accounts from people who claimed that they were there.

(2nd Charge) A Post on Facebook sharing the link to the above article which also mentioned the Pinoy family. (Published 4 Feb 2015)

(3rd Charge) WHY SOME SINGAPOREANS FEEL ANNOYED WITH PINOYS IN SINGAPORE (Published 18 June 2014)

Specifically, the following quotes are allegedly seditious according to the police charge sheets:

- A complaint that a Filipino Manager constantly gave preferential treatment to other Filipinos in the company at the expense of Singaporeans
- "[Pinoys] are without a doubt two faced. While we Singaporeans are generally concerned about each other's rice bowls, Pinoys are relentless back stabbers and pure suck ups."
- "if you are a minority in a Pinoy filled department or company, watch as how they will intimidate you by staying with their own cliques and speaking Tagalog."
This article is a TRS reader's opinion piece sent in via email on the 16th of June 2014 (we have blanked out the TRS reader's email to protect his identity):
(4th Charge) DEAR TRS, I SACKED 6 PINOY NATIONALS AND 1 INDIAN NATIONAL ON FRIDAY (Published 24 Nov 2013)

Specifically, the following quotes are allegedly seditious according to the police charge sheets:

- "two clowns [An Indian and Filipino] had colluded in hiring their own nationals (mainly pinoys) in the company. "
- "now when the people sent the email [looking for jobs], anyone that was Singaporean was deleted, they kept only the foreigners (pinoys.)"
- "Basically the Pinoy hr had people from the Philippines apply for any openings in the MNC i work and deleted any resumes that were Singaporeans"
- "i am making this post is so that you guys can be aware of the fraud going on in certain companies and games that foreigners are playing on singaporeans."
This article is a complaint shared with TRS in an email which was also published on Facebook by the original writer:

​

(5th Charge) WHY DOES THE GOVT ALLOW PRC STRIPPER TO COME HERE WORK AND STEAL MY HUSBAND! (Published 22 May 2014)
Specifically, the following quotes are allegedly seditious according to the police charge sheets:
- "I would like to voice out my unhappiness with the over-populated China Chinese people in Singapore now!"
- "these Chinese women just apply permit/visitor pass using all kind of job excuse"
- "Do you know by simply granting another work permit to these Chinese women means you are destroying many Singapore homes out there!"
- "These Chinese women sleep around with our men ... and doesn't care whether the men are married or with kids."
- "they only hopefully the men can divorce & married them and after that apply for S'porean citizenship and dump the guy! "
- "We are flooded with enough Chinese all around us now! and enough is enough!"
This article was a complaint sent in by a TRS reader by email on May 22nd 2014 (we have blanked out the TRS reader's name and email address to protect his identity):

(6th Charge) DEAR TRS, PRC WOMAN MAKES BOY PEE PUBLICLY IN THE MRT INTO A BOTTLE (18 Feb 2014)
Specifically, the following quotes are allegedly seditious according to the police charge sheets:

- "I am shocked to see a PRC women pulling down her grandson's pants on the MRT today. She then asked her to pee into the bottle"
- "Is Singapore going back to times where we were uncivilized?"
This was sent in to TRS by a reader who also sent the same complaint to STOMP which also republished the same article inclusive of these allegedly seditious lines:

This article is currently still live: http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/singaporeseen/this-urban-jungle/woman-...​

(7th Charge)EXPOSED: PUPPY MURDERER WORKS IN HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY, HER COMPANY HIRES MOSTLY FOREIGNERS (13 October 2013)
Specifically, the following quotes are allegedly seditious according to the police charge sheets:
- "the company hires more foreigners than locals"
- "Have they given fair consideration to Singaporeans?"
- "Our objective is to instil fear in companies and make them think twice before hiring foreigners without really considering our Singaporean workforce. We want to create this mindset by continuing to expose more and more companies that have discriminatory practices towards Singaporeans. - Farhan"
This article was based on the publicly available information of the healthcare company where Alison McElwee the "puppy murderer" worked.


(8th Charge) Failing to comply with a Police order asking for 12 months worth of personal financial details
It is understood that both Yang and Takagi refused to comply with this request by Police as they felt it was an unnecessary intrusion on their privacy, especially given the fact that they are being investigated for sedition, which is not a crime which has anything to do with any finances.
They stood by their right to privacy on this matter and are now facing charges for it.

The first 7 charges are an offence under section 4(1)(c) of the Sedition Act (Cap. 290) read with Section 3(1)(e):

Offences
4.—(1) Any person who —
... (c) prints, publishes, sells, offers for sale, distributes or reproduces any seditious publication ....
shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction for a first offence to a fine not exceeding $5,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 3 years or to both, and, for a subsequent offence, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 5 years; and any seditious publication found in the possession of that person or used in evidence at his trial shall be forfeited and may be destroyed or otherwise disposed of as the court directs.
​

Seditious tendency
3.—(1) A seditious tendency is a tendency —
(a) to bring into hatred or contempt or to excite disaffection against the Government;
(b) to excite the citizens of Singapore or the residents in Singapore to attempt to procure in Singapore, the alteration, otherwise than by lawful means, of any matter as by law established;
(c) to bring into hatred or contempt or to excite disaffection against the administration of justice in Singapore;
(d) to raise discontent or disaffection amongst the citizens of Singapore or the residents in Singapore;
(e) to promote feelings of ill-will and hostility between different races or classes of the population of Singapore.
​

Takagi has been involved in the approval and publication of reader submissions for some of the content posted on TRS.

The couple were arrested on Feb 6th at Mr Yang's grandparents' home. The couple explained that they were in Singapore visiting Mr Yang's hospitalized grandmother.

We understand that Yang has also maintained from the very start and throughout the investigations that he is not involved in any editorial content,
finances, or any daily running of TRS. However, there have been some false reports in the mainstream media suggesting Yang's involvement in the website. In particular, there have been reports which have suggested that Yang is involved in the finances of TRS. Some mainstream media reports also suggested that Yang is a dishonest businessman who ran away with $2,000 which he had borrowed from a friend. We understand that these reports are completely fabricated by the reporters and are untrue and the sources quoted by SPH's newspapers are not even real people.

It is understood that Yang is currently also consulting with lawyers separately to take up a civil case against the SPH newspapers and websites over these false and defamatory articles and will proceed once the criminal case is concluded.

The couple have engaged a lawyer for the charges and are believed to be planning to claim trial over the charges.

Ask yourself, read Sammyboy or read the Shittytimes to get a clear picture of what is happening in Sinkieland. Even the Pappie's dogs are here to know what's actually bothering Sinkies?

If you dont like the government for whatever reason you can sort this out with your votes but if we let the fucking foreigners manipulate us then we are going to just fuck ourselves and get negative returns.

The Sedition Act is a colonial relic which must be repealed PERIOD.

Where is the Sinkie Law Society? Guai guai obey the stoopid rule that they cannot comment on laws unless the Gahbrament ask them to?

Why Sinkie lawyers don't form another group like HK's progressive lawyers' group? Shanmugam himself said in ParLEEment that there is nothing to prevent them from doing so and those groups can comment on proposed or existing legislation. Sinkies really hopeless!

WE decide what is good for the people, nevermind what other people think. That is why I am proud to be a Singaporean. We dare to tell the ang mohs off and do things differently here.

Well done Zeroo, very on the ball:

1) Now I know you are confirmed PAP IB;

2) I am sure your bonus will be good if only for being prompt!

Who is WE? Did the PAP ask the People of Singapore whether they want the Sedition Act in its present form with strict liability? This should be decided by a REFERENDUM. The Sedition Act was a colonial relic - which means it was invented and used by Ang Mohs to control Asiatics who might challenge the supremacy of the Empire. Use your brains Mister Morbid Cock. You might as well say you are proud to be a serf - first of the British then of the PAP.

When is leongsam going to be sued for libel under the sedition act?remember it doesn't matter where u are u cannot hide from the long arm of Singapore's law!!!
