Sinkie on trial for misusing photo of former minister

[RonRon]

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.

People who have Facebook accounts are Morons

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.

Pretty presumptuous of you again, no surprise. I have been Facebook-free since February 2004, because I saw through Mr Zuckerberg's bullshit. Neither am I on Twitter, or Google+ or blogs.

My digital footprint in cyberspace is very, very small. Minuscule.

And no one needs respect from a running dog such as you. Shoo.

Depends on their interpretation. If they want to, even drinking in Starbucks wearing black can have your names taken down by the police.

The laws of Singapore are generally wide in terms of interpretation and favours the authorities. The Judges also tend to rely on the wisdom of parliament and seldom interpret it contrary to what the State puts forward. A lot then falls on the shoulders of good lawyers. And there are not many around that will fight on ethics and natural justice alone. Its all fine and good when such power reside in a benevolent govt but open to wide abuse with no safety valve.

 

[HongKanSeng]

What is the problem?

Ah Seng frightened?

They can not prove that was doctored photo of WKS because people have look alikes. If the ST moron don't admit it put them to prove beyond doubt. I don't think they can.

Facebook is great for keeping up with friends and relatives you don't often meet or have the time. I have found lots of my primary school mates on FB.

Thai strict lese majeste laws only covers the king, queen and crown prince...

Sinkieland's lese majeste extends to the entire royal down line...

On the contrary, social acquaintances are just like skin cells or certain household items: the old ones eventually have to be discarded and be replaced by new ones. Or you can make do with less clutter.

Some friends will stick around for life, but most others will fade into a distant memory. This is normal and natural.

The greatest challenge in life is to know when to let go.
