Man accused of inciting violence
By Shaffiq Alkhatib | Posted: 16 August 2011 1535 hrs

SINGAPORE: A man has been accused of inciting violence by allegedly calling for an assassination to be re-enacted in Singapore.

Thirty-six-year-old Gary Yue Mun Yew, who's unemployed, is believed to have done this when he allegedly posted a video clip of former Egyptian president Anwar Sadat's death on the Facebook page of the Temasek Review.

Mr Sadat, who was the third president of Egypt, was assassinated in 1981 by fundamentalists in Cairo.

Yue, who was charged last month with the offence, is also accused of posting on his own Facebook page a doctored photograph showing former deputy prime minister Wong Kan Seng with a gun to his head.

Yue will be back in court on Thursday.

If convicted of inciting violence, he can be jailed up to five years, fined or both.

A jobless man allegedly posted a video clip of former Egyptian president Anwar Sadat's assassination to the Facebook page of socio-political website Temasek Review, calling for such an event to be re-enacted here.

Gary Yue Mun Yew, 36, has also been accused of posting, on his own Facebook page last year, a doctored photograph of a Vietnamese soldier holding a gun to the head of then Deputy Prime Minister Wong Kan Seng, whose head had been superimposed onto the original image.

Yue, who allegedly committed the offences in his Marine Parade home, is due back in court on Thursday.

Under the law, whoever is convicted of making or communicating an electronic record containing an incitement to violence shall be punished with up to five years' jail, a fine or both.

Man accused of inciting violence worked for weapons maker
By Shaffiq Alkhatib | Posted: 18 August 2011 1801 hrs

SINGAPORE: The jobless man accused of posting Facebook entries inciting violence was an assistant principal engineer with weapons maker ST Kinetics.

36-year-old Gary Yue Mun Yew, who faces two charges, was fired from his job last month. His case has been adjourned to September 9.

ST Kinetics is the land systems and speciality vehicles arm of ST Engineering. According to ST Engineering's website, the list of products ST Kinetics makes includes the SAR 21 assault rifle and grenade launchers.

On August 9 last year, Yue allegedly posted a comment on the Temasek Review's Facebook Fan Page, saying a live version of an assassination should be re-enacted on the grandstand during the National Day parade.

Along with the alleged comment, it is believed he also posted a video clip depicting the assassination of former Egyptian president, Muhammad Anwar al-Sadat, who was killed by fundamentalists in Cairo in 1981.

The slim, bespectacled Yue is believed to have committed the offence in a Marine Drive flat.

And sometime in late July or early August 2010, Yue allegedly posted on his own Facebook page a doctored photograph showing former Deputy Prime Minister Wong Kan Seng with a gun to his head.

Yue is represented by lawyer, S. Balamurugan, who told the court on Thursday that he has a psychiatrist's report on his client's condition. The lawyer did not mention what this condition was.

Yue, who was expressionless as he stood in the dock, is out on a S$10,000 bail.

Temasek Review has since asked netizens to post responsibly. It posted a message on its Facebook page saying its moderators have no time to monitor the page 24 hours a day. Its website also said it does not condone nor endorse comments inciting violence against anyone.

If convicted, Yue can be jailed up to five years, fined, or both for each charge.

Facebook has been selling information to government agencies and giving clandestine access to information security firms so that they can spy on people from all around the world. Some of these so-called whitehat infosec firms are working for authoritarian governments, such as those of Egypt and Syria.

Everything you do on Facebook stays on Facebook regardless of your “privacy” settings, and deleting your account is impossible, even if you “delete” your account, all your personal info stays on Facebook and can be recovered at any time. Changing the privacy settings to make your Facebook account more “private” is also a delusion. Facebook knows more about you than your family.

Man on trial for misusing photo of former minister
By Alvina Soh | Posted: 18 January 2012 1839 hrs

SINGAPORE: A former engineer with Singapore Technologies Kinetics went on trial on Wednesday for posting Facebook entries inciting violence.

36-year-old Gary Yue Mun Yew posted a doctored photograph of a Vietnamese soldier executing former Deputy Prime Minister Wong Kan Seng, with a gun held to his head.

Yue had downloaded a photograph of a Vietnamese general executing a Viet Cong guerilla, and replaced the face of the guerilla with that of Mr Wong's.

The same picture was used as Yue's Facebook profile pic, which Yue claimed he had changed after a week.

Yue also posted a link to a video clip depicting the assassination of former Egyptian president, Muhammad Anwar al-Sadat on the Facebook page of socio-political site The Temasek Review.

He followed up with a comment calling for a re-enactment during the 2010 National Day Parade.

The court was told Yue made the postings from his home at Marine Drive, between July and August 2010.

Yue claimed he did it out of frustration with work, and in response to online comments about national issues, including the escape of Jemaah Islamiah fugitive Mas Selamat Kastari.

His lawyers, Mr Sreenivasan and Mr S Balamurugan from Straits Law Practice, added that Yue had no intention to incite violence, nor was there any likelihood of violence being incited.

Yue, who has been terminated from his job after he was charged in August last year, has since written an apology letter to Mr Wong.

The verdict will delivered on 16 February.
