Fake news law is a ploy by the PAP government to hold on to absolute power?

[TerrexLee]

Speaking in Parliament on Tuesday (7 May), MP for Aljunied GRC Low Thia Khiang said that the latest Protection against Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Bill was to “protect the ruling party and achieve political monopoly”.

“To introduce such a bill is not to defend democracy and public interest, it is more like the actions of a dictatorial government that will resort to any means to hold on to absolute power”, he added.

Such a law would curb freedom of expression and compel people to protect themselves by engaging in self-censorship: “The government can selectively punish a few offenders to achieve a chilling effect, to scare the monkey by slaughtering the chicken.”

PAP already holds onto absolute power in Singapore despite donating a GRC to the oppies. PAP will continue to hold onto absolute power as long as it continues to govern Singapore well, just like it has done so for the past over 50 years.

If they value, they would have shut down access to this forum long ago. No need to pass laws.

The law now empowers them to.

The correct way is not for the gahmen to decide what is fake but should be left to the judicial system....and not the other way round.

With this new law...it is very easy for them to shut this forum down.

Just watch this space.
